On Tuesday, September 8,2009 Lionsgate Films and Tyler Perry Pictures premiered their newest film I Can Do Bad All By Myself at the School of Visual Arts Theater in New York City. The film which bears the title of Perry's play stars Academy Award nominated actress Taraji P. Henson in the lead role, Adam Rodriguez,Brian White, newcomer Hope Olaide Wilson, Pastor Marvin Winans, as well as Grammy Award winning singers Gladys Knight and Mary J. Blige. All of the film's leads made appearances at the premiere as well as many other celebrities who came out to show their support for Perry and his work;some of which being Gayle King, Wendy Williams, and AJ and Free of 106 and Park fame.
In Perry's latest film his focus is on a new character named April, a nightclub singer who unexpectingly becomes caretaker for her deceased sister's children, while learning how to open her heart, after a young man named Sandino comes into her life.
When I asked Ms. Gladys Knight ,who plays Wilma in the film about her role in the film, Ms. Knight stated, "She was me,she is very maternal, and like Wilma I too worry about people and their spiritual growth."
