Video Flashback: Whitney Houston In Decatur
On Aug, 27, 2003, the pop star arrived at the DeKalb County Courthouse for Bobby Brown's court hearing.
As an international pop star, Whitney Houston lived her life in public.
Almost everything she did was filmed and photographed for the consumption of her fans -- including her arrival at the DeKalb County Courthouse on Aug. 27, 2003, to attend a hearing for her then-husband, Bobby Brown.
Houston arrived in an SUV, looking great in a short pink dress and black scarf. She even smiled and chatted with the videographer as she walked into the courthouse. Her charisma shines through even in this brief, unscripted video clip.
