TRIVIA

Trivia

In Malcolm X (1992) and Panther (1995), Angela Bassett played Dr. Betty Shabazz the wife of Malcolm X while in this move she plays the wife of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Angela Bassett who plays Coretta Scott King also depicted singer Tina Turner in the movie , "What's Love Got to Do With It?" Gloria Reuben who also stars in this film, also toured with the real life Tina Turner for her "Twenty Four Seven" tour in 2000.

According to a Washing Post article, Ilyasah Shabazz stated that although she applauds Lifetime's efforts for recognizing an important era, she strongly emphasizes the film is "fiction." She says "My mother was not a weak, timid, insecure woman as portrayed," Shabazz said. "She was regal, compassionate, strong, loving, beautiful, resilient and well-educated. That is why the Delta Sigma Theta sororities named academies all across this country after her, so others could be inspired how to turn tragedy into triumph. If only Lifetime had consulted us, the sisters, maybe this would be more than fiction. I am not pointing my finger solely at them, but it must be our responsibility to ensure history is properly documented," Shabazz said.
