She was so cool and very motherly towards me. If I ever looked like I needed something, here she came saying 'Are you okay?' "


"I sang her songs into a hairbrush when I was little. Now she's acting as my mom and scolding me. It was a dream come true."

And Whitney, who battled her own drug addiction in real life and is re-visiting the issue in this movie, talked about her excitement saying:


"Part of the fun of making this movie is definitely the costumes and the hairstyles. The movie is set in 1963, and we had a great wardrobe, hair and makeup person and I loved wearing the outfits."

The movie is in theaters August 10th.
