STORY
Take one look at award-winning songwriter and artist Allee Willis and you see someone unafraid to be themselves. Best known for writing the "Friends" theme song, the Earth Wind & Fire mega-hit "September" and the musical "The Color Purple," Willis began filming her life as a kid in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. Dressed in a cacophony of prints and colors, with her signature asymmetrical haircut and famed parties at her real-life Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Allee didn’t waste any opportunity to tell you what she was about. But privately, Allee struggled with not fitting established gender and sexual norms. She buried herself in her work, until true love manifested her ultimate masterpiece - self-acceptance.
FEATURED
Allee Willis, Mark Cuban, Cyndi Lauper, Lily Tomlin, Paul Reubens, Michael Patrick King, Patti LaBelle, Pet Shop Boys, Pamela Adlon, Paul Feig and Mark Mothersbaugh.
