Interview of Tina Turner (1987)

NRK special after Private Dancer

Norway’s NRK special Me, Tina (1987) finds Tina Turner after the comeback of Private Dancer, voice restored to center stage and a life story already half written in the work. She speaks of survival in plain terms, of Ike’s shadow without letting it own the frame, of legs, grit, and the pleasure of finally choosing the setlist.

The camera keeps the laugh as much as the legend. What remains is this: a star who turned endurance into choreography and a setlist she finally chose.
