Word is Tasha Smith is going to play Donna Summer is a movie biopic of the singer’s life. She told the BV Buzz that:

“It’s a movie we’ve been working on and we’re excited,” she revealed. “We’re still in the development stages of it but I will be playing Donna Summer, it’s just telling her life story.”

Summer, the legendary Academy Award winning singer known as “The Queen of Disco,” catapulted to the top of the 1970s pop music stratosphere with hit songs such as Last Dance, I Feel Love, McArthur Park, and Love to Love You Baby.

“It will show the transformation of her life,” Smith added about the film, which may or may not be adapted from Summer’s 2003 autobiography Ordinary Girl. “A lot of people don’t really know all that she has gone through from a young girl to teenage moving to Europe and trying to start on her career, and her different marriages and the drugs and her transformation with Christianity and all of that.”
