[Deadline @DEADLINE]

EXCLUSIVE: A large-scale biopic based on the life of the legendary jazz and blues vocalist Dinah Washington is in the works, with veteran British playwright Winsome Pinnock signed on to write the script and Danny Glover executive producing.

The film will chronicle a pivotal two-week period in London at the height of Washington’s career, following the international success of her 1959 Grammy-winning crossover hit “What A Difference A Day Made.”

Born Ruth Lee Jones, Washington was born in Alabama and moved to Chicago as a child, where she grew up in the church, playing the piano and directing the choir. At 15, after winning an amateur contest at the famous Regal Theater, she landed her first professional gigs and recorded her first singles. Washington would go on to dominate the charts throughout the 1950s and early ‘60s, earning the moniker the “Queen of the Blues”

@finnimations @keatonkildebell I’m guessing FYC screenings, but if you live in NYC or LA, all of these films are also available at certain cinemas.

@ClubChalamet @esquire Will @ClubChalamet have an Oscar viewing party? I have seen the film twice now and I think he could win!
