Fans are still mourning the loss of icon Cicely Tyson who suddenly passed last week just days after the release of her long-awaited memoir.
The actress and former model was 96 at the time of her death on January 28.
Now, fans are petitioning for a well-deserved biopic, and have thrown a few names in the ring of actresses they’d like to play the legend.
Specifically, some of the names include actresses Erika Alexander, Tika Sumpter, and Kimberly Elise.

Coincidentally, all three actresses took to social media in the past few days to tribute Tyson, and tell their personal stories of her, and their respective friendships with her.
While there are no confirmed plans or talks of a biopic as of yet, if one were to happen, who do you think would do the legend justice?
