Two Words: Tina Turner
Never mind the eight Grammys or the strut we all practiced in front of a mirror. Tina Turner is an icon because of her talent, her determination and her raw, refreshing honesty. "I have been through fucking tons of heartbreak!” she once said in a candid MTV interview. In another article, she summed up her abusive years with Ike Turner like this: "It was death. I didn't exist." A survivor who tells her story saves more women. Now at 80 years old, this lioness roars again in the new HBO doc, TINA. It's wonderful. Watch it.
