Queen of Swing
60 Minute Documentary
Film By John Biffar
john@
Over fifteen years in the making, this gripping documentary, QUEEN OF SWING is the unique true story of entertainer Norma Miller, and her life as a dancer and comedienne throughout the last 9 decades. Born in Harlem in 1919 and armed only with her own talent, she broke down the visible and invisible walls of discrimination and paved the way for groundbreaking integration around the world.
Swing Dancer, actress, author, standup comedian, and Emmy award-winning
choreographer are but a few titles on Norma’s resume. QUEEN OF SWING
takes the audience on a historical personal escapade from the 1930’s
Swing Craze and black exodus to Europe, to her witnessing the election of America’s first black President. Along the way we meet her friends, household names and legends of jazz: Bill Cosby, Count Basie, Luis Armstrong, Red Foxx, Duke Ellington, and others.
Big band swing music provided the pulse that fueled Norma and the rest
