Denise Clark Biopic

On November 11, 2018, It was reported that the Clark Sisters would have a television biopic, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel, that is set to air on Lifetime on April 11, 2020. The film is executive produced by Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, and Mary J. Blige.

The film stars Aunjanue Ellis as Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, Angela Birchett as Jacky Clark Chisholm, Raven Goodwin as Denise Clark Bradford, Christina Bell as Twinkie Clark, Sheléa Frazier as Dorinda Clark Cole, and Kierra Sheard as her mother, Karen Clark Sheard.

Karen Clark Sheard 2nd Chance

She released her Elektra debut album 2nd Chance in 2002, so named because of the “second chance” she was given by God after her near-death experience – which is referenced in her daughter Kierra’s song “You Don’t Know”.

The album was led off by the single “Be Sure” and though Clark–Sheard was in excellent form vocally, the slick, progressive sound of the disc was not received well in the gospel community.
