Whitney chronicles the headline-making relationship between iconic singer, actress, producer, model Whitney Houston and singer- songwriter Bobby Brown, from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity to their courtship and tumultuous marriage. This biopic is a testament to love, triumph, and the overwhelming rewards and deadly cost of fame and fortune. Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett makes her directorial debut in this special two-hour movie featuring Yaya DaCosta (Lee Daniels` The Butler) in the lead role and Arlen Escarpeta (Final Destination 5) as Bobby Brown. Music includes Brown's "Every Little Step," as well as Houston hits "The Greatest Love of All," "I`m Your Baby Tonight," "I`m Every Woman," and "I Will Always Love You," sung by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum entertainer Deborah Cox.
