Grammy Museum unveils tribute to Whitney Houston
LOS ANGELES, Aug 15 (Reuters)
The Grammy Museum unveiled a tribute to Whitney Houston on Wednesday,
put together by family members to celebrate the late pop star's career.
The exhibit, titled "Whitney! Celebrating the Musical Legacy of Whitney
Houston," features items such as the singer's iconic gowns, some of her
Grammy awards, film scripts, modeling shots and personal memorabilia.
Highlights include a beaded gown that Houston wore at the 1994 Grammy
Awards, private letters from legendary music producer Clive Davis and a
tea cup that Houston drank out of before each performance.
"We have picked the things that people will find the most interesting
and, in many cases, bring back fun memories," her sister-in-law and
former manager Pat Houston told reporters.
"We are really very overjoyed that we are here today to represent and
be a part of such a wonderful and splendid career of such a beautiful
and talented woman," Houston said.
Pat Houston was joined on Wednesday by the singer's brother Gary and
sister-in-law Donna, who worked with the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles
to curate the exhibition. Houston's mother Cissy, her 19-year-old
daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown and her ex-husband Bobby Brown did not
attend.
Houston, 48, drowned accidentally in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills
in February from what authorities said was heart disease and the
effects of cocaine.
The exhibit makes no mention of her turbulent personal life and history
of drug abuse.
Grammy Museum officials said the exhibit was put together after fans
asked why there was no homage to her following her death. It will run
until February 2013.
Houston's final film, "Sparkle," will be released in movie theaters on
Friday.
