Popular singer’s memoir turns telemovie

Lifetime has green lit the original movie ”Un-Break My Heart”.

Based on Grammy Award-winning singer Toni Braxton’s popular memoir, ”Un-Break My Heart” is the authorized life story of the wildly talented artist, who has fought through a severe chronic illness, financial troubles and divorce while navigating her son’s autism and family struggles.

”Un-Break My Heart” is the never-before-told story of the measures Braxton took to make herself and her family whole again, serving as an inspiration to people around the world. Braxton will executive produce and appear in the film, which begins production later this year.

”Un-Break My Heart” is also executive produced by Craig Baumgarten (”Twist of Faith”), Erik Kritzer (The Runaround) and Marcus Grant, written by Susan McMartin (”Mom”, ”Two and a Half Men”) and produced by Link Entertainment. Vondie Curtis-Hall (”Abducted: The Carlina White Story”) will direct.
