What film production company did Whitney Houston found with Debra Martin Chase?

Whitney Houston founded BrownHouse Productions with producer Debra Martin Chase.

BrownHouse Productions was Houston’s film and television production company, created as she expanded her career beyond recording and concert performance. Chase became a key creative partner, helping develop projects that placed Houston in producing and acting roles.

Their first major collaboration was the 1997 television film Cinderella, in which Houston served as an executive producer and played the Fairy Godmother. The production became a major ratings success and helped demonstrate Houston’s influence behind the camera as well as on screen.

Houston and Chase later worked together on The Princess Diaries, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and the Cheetah Girls television films. Their final production together was Sparkle, released in 2012 after Houston’s death. BrownHouse is sometimes confused with other celebrity-backed companies, but Overbrook, Forty Acres, and Harpo Productions were founded by different entertainment figures.
