Tastefully Done

A beautiful and colorful portrayal of this iconic celeb, who did so much more than I ever knew. Watching this film taught me quite a bit and I am amazed at Mae's talent and straight up approach to the biz. She put a lot of folks in their place and was really funny. This was captured well from Ann Jillian and she had great timing in this role; nicely done. Amazing singing or soundtrack as well

All the cast was great, just hoed they would have "went there" or shall I say deeper with some issues of sex, drugs, drink, corruption etc... but I think it aired on T. V. at first. Cheers to all involved, great costumes as well.
