Zendaya Is Reportedly In Talks To Portray Singer Ronnie Spector In Biopic

Zendaya has a big movie possibly in the works!

The 24-year-old Emmy award actress is in talks to play Ronnie Spector in a movie about her life, Deadline reports.

Ronnie is a famous singer from the 60s group The Ronnettes and deals have just closed on her life rights and her book “Be My Baby.”

The Ronnettes are most famous for their song “Be My Baby.”

The biopic will be produced by Marc Platt, executive produced by Jonathan Greenfield and Ronnie Spector, and Zendaya will reportedly serve as a producer as well.

According to Deadline, “much the way that Aretha Franklin personally endorsed Jennifer Hudson to play her in the upcoming MGM biopic Respect, Spector chose Zendaya as the actress she wished to portray her in her early years.”
