Which Michael Jackson sister is played by Jessica Sula in Michael?

Jessica Sula plays La Toya Jackson in Michael. La Toya is one of Michael Jackson’s older sisters and a member of the Jackson family portrayed in the film.

La Toya Jackson was born in 1956 and is the fifth child of Joseph and Katherine Jackson. She was part of the large musical family that grew up in Gary, Indiana, although Michael and his brothers formed the Jackson 5 and became the family’s first major recording stars. La Toya later pursued her own career as a singer, songwriter, author and television personality.

The role is easy to confuse with Rebbie Jackson or Janet Jackson, who are also Michael’s sisters. Rebbie is the eldest Jackson sibling, while Janet is the youngest sister and became a major pop star in her own right. Joh’Vonnie Jackson is Michael’s half-sister and is not the character identified for Sula’s role in the film.
