In 1993, the biographical film What's Love Got to Do with It brought Tina Turner's story of survival to the big screen, with Angela Bassett delivering an Oscar-nominated performance that would become iconic—but for Tina herself, watching the film at its Los Angeles premiere was one of the most traumatic experiences of her life. Seeing actors recreate the beatings, the terror, and the desperate escape she had survived nearly two decades earlier forced Tina to relive every moment of pain she had spent years trying to escape, and she left the theater devastated. Though the film helped millions of women understand domestic violence and inspired countless survivors to leave their abusers, Tina never watched it again, saying privately that making the film and watching her life portrayed on screen had been almost as traumatic as living through the abuse itself. This is the untold story of what it cost Tina Turner to let Hollywood tell her story, and why she refused to ever engage with the film again after that first, devastating screening.
