It was said back in 1997 that Whitney Houston reportedly signed up to star in and co-produce a remake of the 1974 TV movie “Get Christie Love”. It is a crime drama TV series starring Teresa Graves as an undercover female detective which originally aired on ABC from Jan. 22, 1974 until April 5, 1975.
Whitney Houston would have been perfect for the remake of that crime drama. She looked so much like Teressa Graves. I don’t know why it didn’t happen.
I always pictured Whitney Houston in a crime drama TV series when I saw her in leather jackets in photos. Whitney was a great model, actress, and singer. As a matter of fact, Whitney produced some movies like Cinderella (1997) & Princess Diaries. It sure would have been nice if she could have co-produced a remake of Get Christie Love. Whitney would have been the one to get. She would have been the perfect choice.
If Whitney would have made the remake of Get Christy Love, we would have seen another side of Whitney through the character.
A man tried to take advantage of Christie in the movie. You would have seen Whitney do a little martial arts. You would have seen her kick and flip a man over. (Playing movie clip) …. Sounds kind of like Whitney.
You would have also seen Whitney involved in some gun shooting and racing on the highway in a car.
The police drama starring Teresa Graves would have been great for a remake starring Whitney Houston. But unfortunately, there was no remake of Christy Love, Starring Whitney.
