*Academy Award-winning actor
Regina King is generating Oscar buzz again this year for her directorial debut in the film “One Night in Miami,” the fictional account of a real-life meeting between Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke, NFL star Jim Brown and Cassius Clay, who later became Muhammad Ali.
King tells Michelle Miller she believes God put her on earth to tell these stories in an interview for CBS News’ CBS SUNDAY MORNING to be broadcast March 7 (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network.
The characters in “One Night in Miami” discuss using their fame and their voices to make a difference, something King tells Miller, co-host of CBS THIS MORNING: Saturday, that she thought a lot about after the killing of George Floyd. So much so, she wanted to get the film out as quickly as possible.
