FUSE TV - Oprah Winfrey to Star in HBO's 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks'
Oprah Winfrey will mark her 25th official film credit by starring in the forthcoming The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which has has just been greenlit by HBO.
Based on the book by Rebecca Skloot, the film centers on Henrietta Lacks, an impoverished tobacco farmer whose cancer cells were taken for medical research without her knowledge in the 1950s. In something of a miracle, Lacks' cells yielded multiple scientific breakthroughs and proved vital for fighting various diseases, such as Polio. Oprah will star as Henrietta Lacks' daughter, Deborah Lacks, who spends much of her adult life trying to reconnect with the memory of her mother, whom she never met.
