Salute to Billy Dee Williams
The essence of Billie Holiday, one of America’s most beloved and memorable jazz singers, is captured brilliantly in a
tour-de-force debut performance by singer Diana Ross. Filled with the greatest songs of the incomparable “Lady Day,”
director Sidney J. Furie’s stunning autobiographical drama also stars Billy Dee Williams as Louis McKay and Richard
Pryor as Piano Man. The on-screen chemistry between Ross and Williams thrilled audiences and the film received
five Academy Award nominations, including Diana Ross for “Best Actress.” 144 mins.
