Whitney is featured in the August issue of Upscale Magazine (Halle Berry cover). It it Upscale's 10th anniversary issue. The first article is Upscale's "10 Most Memorable Covers". 2 covers featuring Whitney made their list, the "Waiting To Exhale" cover (November 1995), and the Whitney and Bobby cover (February 1998). The next article that features Whitney is Upscale's "10 Most Recognizable Faces". The article is very complimentary and mentions aspects about Whitney not mentioned often in other articles. For example: "An astute businesswoman, she (Whitney) has amassed an impressive fortune that keeps her name on the Forbes Top Money Entertainers List, and an $11 million dollar New Jersey mansion is one of the many trappings of success". The article continues to talk about her global sales success, the success of each of her albums, her success as a singer, model, actress, and producer, as well as her charitable contributions. The article futher mentions future Whitney projects, including the "Anything For You" movie project, and her ownership to the rights of such books as the Dorothy Dandridge biography, and others like "How To Marry A Black Man" and "Friends And Lovers" - all of which may become film projects at some point in the future. Her new label "Better Place Records" was also mentioned. All in all an excellent article. They used the My Love Is Your Love album cover for the picture on the article. Finally, Whitney is mentioned again in the feature interview with Halle Berry. Halle on Whitney: "Whitney had the rights to "Dorothy Dandridge (a biography by Donald Bogle), and I had the rights to her (DD) manager's book (Earl Mills). The truth is no matter what book any of us had, her life is public domain. All that happened was that I got to the finish line first. Hopefully Whitney will still do a story. I would love to see her play Dorothy or get someone else to. I would love to see what her vision is or what she thought of her and Janet (her version) too. They may do it, they may not."
