Billie
'Lady Day' was among the greatest jazz singers the world ever heard. In 1971, journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl set out to compose the conclusive biography of Billie Holiday. Prior to her mysterious death in 1978, Lipnack Kuehl had actually taped over 200 hours of interviews. The tapes have never been heard. Now they form the basis of a climatic, multi-layered docudrama that catches the many intricate aspects of a proud black lady, violent drug user, devoted good friend, vengeful fan and remarkable vocalist of 'God Bless The Child', 'Saddest Tale' as well as the haunting 'Odd Fruit'.
