Viola Davis To Play Barbara Jordan In Biopic

This just in. Viola Davis has announced that she plan's on bringing the life of African-American political pioneer as well as the voice of nation during the Watergate hearing's Barbara Jordan to the big screen. In what has been a great year and busy awards season for the "The Help" actress I expect even more from her in this film. Having the share the screen less give's us a nice big ol' plate of Viola. haha

Based on the biographical book “Barbara Jordan: American Hero,” by Mary Beth Rogers, writer/director Paris Qualles is adapting the book for a pic that traces Jordan’s rise from a poor Houston neighborhood to an elected member of Congress and an influential figure in liberal politics. - Moviehole
