I REALLY don’t get the “white savior” BS about this story. Just watched it again on FX. These two men did so much for each other! They “saved” each other!
He did not die in his Carnegie Hall apartment. The Carnegie apartments were converted into a learning center and he had to move out, his grand piano was moved out by crane. It's just as well his family wasn't consulted for the film. Recorded interviews of Shirley and Valolonga belie the versions of his biography as told by Shirley's family. The movie does not portray Valolonga as a white savior, quite the opposite, it is Valolonga who is redeemed by Shirley. The movie biography of Buddy Holly was wrecked by consulting with his ex-wife whose version of the singer's life was not based on reality but self-serving wishful thinking. Family are not necessarily the best sources for history.
An incredible American! His story and talent should be more known!!
