I Always Wanted To Be Somebody is the intimate and candid story of
a girl who grew up in the asphalt environs of Harlem, skipping
school, drinking hard liquor, stealing and fist-fighting, but went
on to break the color barrier in tennis and achieving the pinnacle
of the sport by winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and becoming an
inspiration for many future champions such as Billie Jean King,
Arthur Ashe, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams, among many
others.
