Hi

[@joesalazar8476]

Didn’t she have a film about her story?

[@leanajo754]

Yes, there's a TV made movie about her. It was called "Wilma". In 1977 it came out . Denzel Washington played her future first husband in the movie (Denzel's first movie). Shirley Jo Finney played Wilma and she looked just like her too. Wow!
