Earlier this year, Halle Bailey got her first major leading role in Disney's The Little Mermaid. She played Ariel in the film which grossed over $569 million worldwide.

In addition to her Little Mermaid role, Bailey has appeared in the likes of Austin & Ally, Wild ‘n Out, Let It Shine, and The Line. Coming up, she will star in The Color Purple for Warner Bros. The film is the second adaptation of the 1982 novel of the same name — Steven Spielberg directed a film adaptation in 1985 — and stars Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, H.E.R., and Ciara. Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones, Scott Sanders, and Spielberg will produce the film.

With The Color Purple set to release on Christmas Day and Bailey's EP coming at some point before the end of the year, it will be a big end to a banner year for the young star.
