When Stephanie was still signed to Motown, Berry tried to buy movie rights then because he wanted Stephanie and Michael in it. I think when Diana convinced Sidney Lumet to let her do it despite Berry's advice for her not to do it (because Diana was battling Berry for control of her career at the time), Berry did whatever he did to destroy whatever momentum he thought he had so he didn't help to promote it. I think the soundtrack was released on MCA and not Motown. Stephanie left Motown after that.

I don't think Berry wanted Michael in the role at first, it was Diana who thought Michael should do the movie. Remember, Berry was suing him and the brothers around that time for breach of contract


Damn, Stephanie was on Motown? Wow, you learn something new everyday eek


Lumet probably did say "the fuck did I sign on for" after the movie flopped. I still love it though lol

In the very beginning, it was planned for Jimmy Walker to play the Scarecrow. ill

nod Jermaine recommended her to Berry Gordy and he signed her in '75, she left in '77 or '78 to focus on "The Wiz" again.
