{blackbabes} Franklin wants Berry to portray her in biopic

DETROIT — Aretha Franklin would like to see Halle Berry portray a younger version of the Queen of Soul in an upcoming biopic.

The 68-year-old singing legend this week revealed a wish list of actors she'd like to see sign up for a planned film about her life and career.

Besides Berry, Franklin says she wants another Academy Award winner —Denzel Washington— to play her father, the late C.L. Franklin. Her wish list also includes Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard as Motown star Smokey Robinson.

The movie will be based on Franklin's autobiography, Aretha: From These Roots. Franklin revealed her role choices in a press release.

Messages seeking comment were left by The Associated Press on Friday for representatives of Berry, Washington and Howard.
