Alicia Keys bringing story to UPN
by Adam Finley, posted Jan 12th 2006 12:01PM
UPN has decided to stick with the "celebrity coming of age" approach for a new drama
based on the childhood of recording artist Alicia Keys. Heck, it worked for Chris Rock.The series will be based on
Keys', who had a white mother and a black father and was raised by her mother in Hell's Kitchen after her parents
divorced when she was two. She started playing piano at six and eventually grew up to be a popular singer and pianist,
selling over fifty billion copies of her first album in just under eight minutes. The show will be written by Felicia
Henderson, who wrote for Family Matters and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Keys will executive produce.
