Directed by James Erskine, Billie is a new Lady Day-themed documentary to premiere this autumn based on the unpublished researches in the 1970s of journalist Linda Lipnack Kuehl who over eight years tape-recorded hundreds of hours of interviews with Billie's colleagues and acquaintances including Charles Mingus, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Count Basie, family, friends and even the FBI agents who arrested her. The trailer for the movie has just been released.
