Jennifer Hudson’s next role will be quite something: she will play Winnie Mandela, the first wife of South Africa’s first Black president, Nelson Mandela in a film called ‘Winnie.’ This should be a very interesting role because Winnie is a controversial figure.
While Nelson Mandela… is a universally sympathetic figure for his struggle against apartheid, his former wife is a far more complicated figure. She has been depicted as the mother and wife who was a steadfast supporter of her activist husband and who was jailed herself for campaigning for his release and fighting against apartheid. Her image was subsequently tarnished by association with a bodyguard who murdered a 14-year old alleged informer, and she was later convicted of fraud.
Jennifer was persuaded to play the part by the script.
“I was compelled and moved when I read the script,” Hudson said. “Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I’m honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”
This certainly won’t be a summer popcorn film. I wonder if Jennifer is looking for a Best Actress Oscar to go along with her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in ‘Dreamgirls’?

Will there be any scenes of necklacing (burning people alive using tyres and petrol), i wonder?
Winnie Mandela quote: “with our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country”.
Jennifer Hudson most of pulled the role as “Effie White” in dreams girls ; but this new role may turn out impossible for her or ” beyonce ” . Oprah could audition for the role. but she got weight issues she need to work on, and shes getting too old too fast ! lol

She looks gorgeous in that white dress.
Its pink ;o)
i dont like the dark eye shadow on her in that main picture
Sounds like an interesting movie.
no class-pushed up and spilling over
I don’t think they look offensive at all..Her breast happen to be big and real PLUS she just gave birth a couple months ago.
sounds interesting. she looks nice.
Sounds like a very powerful role, good for her.
Sounds interesting since Winnie has a VERY tarnished reputation. Would like to see how the filmmakers handle that topic.
Good for her. One of the few singers that can act unlike some overexposed female who shall remain nameless.
