Annie Ross is a jazz giant. Raised in Glasgow, her seven-decade career runs the gamut from precocious child star ­ 'the Scottish Shirley Temple' ­ to indefatigable living legend. In this intimate, revealing profile, she discusses her many lives from Paris singer in the 1940s to incomparable lyricist in the 1950s and Covent Garden impresario in the 1960s. Along the way there are tales of Billie Holiday, her lover Lenny Bruce, triumph and tragedy, drug addiction and her deep, abiding affection for beloved brother Jimmy Logan. Throughout it all there is the beautiful, beguiling music often with her own lyrics and always performed in her inimitable style. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Music and Film Festival.
