- <p> At 23, she was the sultrier half of the First Couple of
- Soul. Then Tina Turner saw her life descend into the depths of
- rock misery. Her violent, volatile marriage to Ike, chronicled
- in her autobiography, I, Tina, proved that behind the seductive
- sound, life was ugly indeed. Now Tina's moving story is screen
- bound. Cast in the role of the sexy, raspy rocker: Malcolm X
- star Angela Bassett. "I told Tina that this is the biggest
- challenge of my career," says Angela, who has hired a personal
- trainer to trim her waistline to Tina-size. The young actress
- has also been busy soaking up soul from the leggy legend
- herself. "In spite of the whole jungle-lioness persona," says
- Bassett, "Tina also has a measure of dignity and self-respect
- in there."
