Lex Scott Davis will play R&B legend Toni Braxton in the upcoming Lifetime biopic “Un-break My Heart,” TheWrap has learned.
According to Davis’ website, she has one television credit to her name, playing a waitress in an episode of the TV Land sitcom “The Exes.” She was also a “featured extra” in “Straight Outta Compton.” The 24-year-old dancer, model and actress is from Baltimore and studied acting at the New York Film Academy.
Based on Braxton’s 2014 memoir, “Un-Break My Heart” is an authorized biopic chronicling her divorce, financial difficulties and struggles with her son’s autism. The chart-topping singer will serve as executive producer and appear in the film, which begins production later this year.
