I'd settle for Love Under Old Management at this point since I can't watch the movie. razz

Im glad it did so well in the ratings. Chaka posted on her fb page that she read the script (i'm assuming Indira wanted to get her blessing before taking the role) and she said she knew the writers would be taking "creative liberties" when it came to her relationship with Miki. So i'm taking that to mean the drug scenes never happened.

"What is truth but a violent contradiction. And truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction" cool

Loved Miki's narration. And they really threw Chaka under the bus, if the depiction was untrue.

I liked it much better than those Lifetime and Vh1 biopics.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I just love her attitude & personality. As good as the film was, I'm afraid the actress didn't capture her sense of humor.
