10-11pm -- BIOGRAPHY(R) - Whitney Houston
A look at the life of the great pop star who found enormous success on
the stage but misery away from it. Signed by the legendary Clive
Davis, Houston burned up the charts with such hits as "I Wanna Dance
with Somebody" and "Greatest Love of All," and became one of the most
successful recording artists of all time with 170 million records
sold. But her personal life became a train wreck. Her tumultuous
marriage to Bobby Brown was plagued by persistent rumors of drug
abuse, and their reality TV show, Being Bobby Brown, did more to harm
Whitney's career than help it.
