 NEW YORK (AP) - The studios that released "Dreamgirls" have apologized to Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. for any confusion the film generated about the label's early days. DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures offered their apologies to Gordy, whose Motown Records and experiences are widely thought to be the basis of the film, in ads published earlier this week in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.
Gordy responded with a statement, praising them for making sure to separate fact from fiction.
"For the past 50 years, I have been protecting the integrity, the love and the talent that is and has become Motown's legacy," said Gordy, 77, who sculpted the careers of acts such as the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
