Prepare to clear up your Netflix queue!<\/p>\n
Variety <\/em>reports that NBA pro LeBron James and his production company, SpringHill Entertainment, is in talks with Netflix to bring a scripted drama about the life of badass activist and entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker to life. The role of the historic American female figure couldn\u2019t go to just anyone though, right?<\/p>\n For that, James and company turned to none other than Oscar-winning star Octavia Spencer. The co-founder of James\u2019s company, Maverick Carter, is set to executive produce the show alongside the athlete.<\/p>\n As of Tuesday, Netflix has yet to confirm the news, though Variety <\/em>reports the possibility is \u201clikely.\u201d James, however, seems to be celebrating already. \u201cI am really proud of this project and that SpringHill will be partnering with Octavia to tell this important story,\u201d he said, according to Variety.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cEvery American should all know the story of Madam C.J. Walker. She was an innovator, entrepreneur, social activist, and total game changer whose story has been left out of the history books. I hope this project lives up to her legacy with a story that will educate and inspire.\u201d<\/p>\n One important fact? Walker, the daughter of former slaves, was American\u2019s first black female millionaire and the first woman of any race to become a self-made millionaire.<\/p>\n
