R&B singer Faith Evans is set to star in the upcoming biopic about Supremes original member Florence Ballard.
Evans, widow of the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G. will star in the film entitled Blondie - The Florence Ballard Story, which is based on the book The Lost Supreme.
Poverty-stricken, Florence Ballard died in February 1976 of cardiac arrest at the age of 32.
'Not only does Faith look like her, she also is a powerful singer,' says Karen Spencer, who is the executive producer of the movie, 'I feel that Faith can bring out the drama in Florence's life.'
The mother-of-four has kept an upbeat attitude since her arrest on suspicion of drink-driving in Marina Del Rey, California, told JET magazine: 'I went to jail for a couple of hours and I was back at my video shoot the next morning. I am fine. I still have to go back to court.'
