Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Anna Mae Bullock always had a special voice. Soon after arriving in St. Louis to live with the mother who had walked out when she was small, she soon attracts the attention of pop group leader Ike Turner. She becomes his band's singer, his wife, and mother to his children - not all hers. In love with him and determined not to leave in the way her mother had, she finds herself the target of increasing violence from him who can't see who is making his band such a success.

Tina Turner:
[Walks up to the hotel counter bruised and bloodied]
I need to speak with your manager. Hotel Clerk: Yes ma'am, right away. George! Tina Turner: [George turns around] I'm... I'm Tina Turner. My husband and I just had a fight. I'm suppose to open at the Academy tonight. I have 36 cents and a Mobil card, but if you would give me a room, I SWEAR I will pay you back. [She starts removing her jewelry] George (the Ramada Inn Manager): No, no, no, that won't be necessary. Ms. Turner, I'd... I'd be honored, really. We'll take care of you. Tina Turner: Thank you. George (the Ramada Inn Manager): Nick, let's give Ms. Turner a room. See more » |
