There is no doubt about. Nina Simone's family is unhappy with the upcoming biopic Nina, starring Zoe Saldana. Saldana posted a quote from the singer on Twitter, and received a rather hostile response from the Simone Estate. Simone's estate responded with: "Cool story but please take Nina's name out your mouth. Her skin was apparently darkened for the role. Gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, nauseating, soul-crushing." The singer's estate cooperated with producers of the Netflix documentary "What Happened, Miss Simone?" which was nominated for an Oscar this year but have showed great disdain for the narrative.
