She did most of her own stunts in a 70lb chain mail dress! She was a perfectly balanced anti-hero to Mad Max’s anti-hero. She dominated the men around her to do the dirty work and built Barter Town.

Tina Turner turned down the prime role of ‘Celie’ in Spielberg’s “The Color Purple” claiming it was “too depressing”. It wasn’t just handed to them like it is in many themes of “Entertainment” today. That film wasn’t ‘woke’ 11:23pm. Tina Turner and THAT character definitely ‘earned’ their Power.
