Moved by Powers’ emphasis on intimacy over iconicism, actress Regina King immediately wanted to tell this story on screen, making “One Night in Miami” her film directorial debut. While King has directed episodes of television shows, she is best known for giving some of the most powerful performances on the big and small screen, winning several Emmys, most notably for last year’s “Watchmen,” in which she played Angela Abar, a Tulsa, Oklahoma, cop by day and a ninja-nun by night. In 2019, she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for supporting actress for Barry Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk.”
