Billie Holiday: Price of Success
At a time when most black performers were not even allowed on stage,
Billie Holiday was able to pack Carnegie Hall with her singing. But she
spent her career fighting racism and was swindled out of her earnings.
Even as she lay dying from the effects of alcoholism, she was arrested
for possession of narcotics and handcuffed to her hospital bed, with a
total of seventy cents in her bank account.
