Stormy Weather is a biography of Lena Horne, one Hollywood's stars,
and one of the first Tony and Grammy winning stars, who opened
doors for black female entertainers such as Eartha Kitt, Sarah
Vaughn, Diahann Carroll, Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross, to name a
few. She was glamorous, seductive, and dignified. But under her
well-crafted look of elegance and grace, lay a tidal wave of rage.
By the 90s, as a defence mechanism, she had shut nearly everyone
out of her life. James Gavin tells the story of Lena: the legend
and the mystery. He has amassed an incredible collection of source
material including: 60 hours of recorded conversations with the
singer dating back to the early 50s. 40 hours of TV specials, guest
appearances and other rare footage spanning her career. He has
interviewed among many others: Johnny Mathis, Bobby Short, Abbey
Lincoln, Ruby Dee, Carmen Delavallade, Geoffrey Holder, and Ms
Horne herself.
