Aaliyah: More Than a Woman

Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age 14 with the album Age Ain't Nothin' but a Number , Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, One in a Million . She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the highly anticipated horror film The Queen of the Damned . But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah's life was cut short in a tragic plane crash.
