LADY SINGS THE BLUES (1972) 5712 Movie Poster (27x41) Diana Ross Billy Dee Williams Richard Pryor Sidney J. Furie

Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) Folded Fine Condition

The ads screamed "Diana Ross IS Billie Holiday" for this biopic of the famous singer. This is star-bound miscasting of the first order, but producer Berry Gordy was sure that Diana Ross was right for this part. And at least some people agreed with him as she was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress, an award that would eventually go to Liza Minnelli. The movie tried valiantly to capture the era, but failed to find the grit in Holiday's story. What WAS good that came out of it was the appearance of Billy Dee Williams as Diana's MAN. Ross is good also - we just don't see her as Billie Holiday. The poster is folded, was used in a theater, and is graded in fine condition.
