Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThis documentary is based on the same research by Linda Lipnack Kuehl that the earlier documentary, Lady Day: The Many Faces of Billie Holiday (1990) is based on. Kuehl died before completing her book about Billie Holiday. Her death was ruled a suicide, although family members believe she may have been murdered.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Born Eleanora Fagan, Billie Holiday became her stage name.
Before seeing this documentary I knew little about Billie Holiday. She had a rough start in Philadelphia and Baltimore, including being sex trafficked by her prostitute mother. But she had a mesmerizing voice, while she could probably sing anything well she preformed more as a vocal stylist. And many of her songs were reflections of herself and her life. The documentary contains many vocal excerpts from interviews, including some by Holiday herself.
In many respects her life was mostly a tragedy, heavy into sex, drugs, and alcohol into her adulthood which ended when she was only 44. But she did have an indelible influence on her type of music.
On DVD from my public library, I watched it at home, my wife skipped.
