LAST SCENES
Fifteen years after The Preacher's Wife, Houston returned to the big screen for Sparkle (due Aug. 10, 2012) with Jordin Sparks. "Part of the fun of making this movie is definitely the costumes and the hairstyles," an excited Houston told PEOPLE. "The movie is set in 1963, and we had a great wardrobe, hair and makeup person and I loved wearing the outfits." Her costar was equally thrilled: "I sang her songs into a hairbrush when I was little. ... It was a dream come true."
