Music superstar Tina Turner's long, illustrious career and tumultuous personal life is set to be profiled in the the new HBO documentary Tina. As we see in this just-released trailer, born "a girl from a cotton field," Turner rose to fame as part of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, and when she finally escaped that abusive relationship, she had nothing but her name. Although she ultimately claimed the spotlight for herself, she says "I don't consider it a comeback. Tina had never arrived."
Tina premeires March 27 on HBO.
