Michael Jackson’s daughter slams tribute-makers for whitewashing



Paris Jackson – daughter of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson – has slammed Sky Arts’ Urban Myths for what can be called the latest coating of the film industry’s persistent whitewash.

In order to pay tribute to the legend, Sky Arts has a TV film under the wraps, for which it has cast a white actor – Joseph Fiennes – to bring the music icon to screen. Urban Myths, a compilation of assorted stories, includes a light comedy based on an unconfirmed road trip Jackson took post-9/11 with two of his friends: Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor.
