Whitney Houston`s daughter wants to play her in a biopic
Bobbi Kristina Houston wants to portray her mother - who tragically died by accidental drowning caused by heart disease and cocaine use in February - in the film, which is currently being discussed by a number of studios.
A source told TMZ.com: "Bobbi feels like she is the perfect person to play the part of Whitney - telling friends that no one knew her better."
Bobbi is an aspiring actress and has recently been cast in Tyler Perry comedy series `For Better Or Worse`. Although Whitney was a singer, she also starred in films including `The Bodyguard` and `Waiting to Exhale`.
The biopic will depict her rise to superstardom in the 80s then her descent into drug abuse in the 90s when married to singer Bobby Brown, Bobbi`s father.
The role of Whitney is much sought after, as Rihanna has also said she is interested in playing the tragic `My Love is Your Love` singer.
Of the possibility of landing the part, she said recently: "That would be something I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off.
"Whoever does it has to do a good job."
Also being considered is Jennifer Hudson, who performed a musical tribute to Whitney at the Grammy awards, the day after she died and how has already won an Oscar for her role in `Dreamgirls`.
