ESPN Films Greenlights 30 for 30 Documentary on Billie Jean King’s Groundbreaking Legacy
By Garrett Cowan
ESPN Films has officially greenlit an upcoming 30 for 30 documentary capturing the remarkable story of Billie Jean King, which is now in production with Ridley Scott Associates, and Story Syndicate, in association with Elton John’s Rocket Sports. The legacy of one of America’s first women’s sports stars is unrivaled, yet few people know the real Billie Jean: charismatic, mischievous, indignant, hopeful, stubborn, and determined as ever. This is the unfiltered, untold story of how she broke the rules and proved her critics wrong, told in her own voice and centered around one year that brings it all into focus: 1973.
