Been Rich All My Life is a 2006 American documentary that chronicles the "Silver Belles," a group of five former Harlem showgirls who renounce retirement and decide to make their comeback. In the 1930's and 40's the women garnered attention for performing at the Cotton Club and the Apollo Theater. In their heyday they performed with the likes of Cab Calloway, Jimmie Lunceford, and Duke Ellington. Eventually big band music went out of style and the ladies found new work. Many years later, the ladies are coerced out of retirement and come back together to resume their act. In the first week, however, Cleo Haye falls down subway stairs and breaks her knee and arm, Marion Coles gets a pacemaker, and Berte Lou Wood is in need of medical attention. The show must go on, however, and the ladies work harder than ever to make it work. Also starring Fay Ray and Elaine Ellis, Been Rich All My Life was directed by Heather MacDonald.MORE[EDIT]
