Not my area of expertise, but like everyone else of my generation, I grew up with her music.

Then she appeared as Aunty Entity in “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome” (1985), a role actually written with her in mind, according to director George Miller. I remember my parents’ astonishment as she leaped through the bars into the titular arena. “TINA!” they cried.

Hard to escape the influence of Tina Turner in the 1980s. R.I.P. The Queen of Rock and Roll. Turner died today at the age of 83.
