Directed by Lee Daniels, the upcoming biopic will “unapologetically present the complicated and irrepressible life” of the legendary jazz and swing singer.

Holiday, who was openly bisexual, will be played by Grammy-nominated singer Andra Day, with supporting performances from Trevante Rhodes, Garrett Hedlund and Miss Lawrence.
