It's been said that if you don't tell your own story, someone else will. I'm glad Zoe Saldana admitted that she should never have played Nina Simone. However, it would have been even better to have realized that before accepting the role and respectfully back out. The part was not only too big for her but to paint her in black face only added insult to injury. I must say the Netflix, documentary What Happened, Ms. Simone?" gives a far better insight on the brilliant talent and agony of this incredible Creative.
