Not only will the Whitney Houston Biopic focus on her relationship with Bobby Brown but also with her friendship with Robyn Crawford who was her longtime assistant as well. Just like people questioned Oprah and Gale’s sexuality is how Whitney Houston and Robyn were questioned for being so close. Anyways, Robyn Crawford will be portrayed in the film by Yolanda Ross.
