As previously reported, “Bessie” is an intimate look at the determined woman [Bessie Smith], whose immense talent and love for music took her from anonymity in the rough-and-tumble world of vaudeville to the 1920s blues scene and international fame, capturing her professional highs and personal lows, and ultimate legend.”
