New York, Aug 29 (TIWN) Oscar-winning singer-songwriter H.E.R is in final negotiations to make her feature film acting debut in 'The Color Purple' musical. She is known for her songs 'Best Part' and 'Focus'.
H.E.R. will play 'Squeak', who, in the musical, goes from a juke joint waitress to an aspiring singer. Warner Bros is behind the feature adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical, itself an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel by Alice Walker, on which the Oscar-nominated Steven Spielberg-directed 1985 movie was also based. The story centers on a woman named Celie Harris and tracks her lifelong struggles as an African American woman living in the American South during the early 1900s.
