Andra Day and Lee Daniels discuss their “wonderfully collaborative” process making 'The U.S. vs Billie Holiday'

Takashi Seida/HuluAndra Day transforms into the late great jazz singer Billie Holiday in the Lee Daniels-directed Hulu film The United States vs Billie Holiday.

While becoming the tormented songstress was no simple feat, Day tells ABC Audio that there were some aspects in making the film that did come easy.

“I will say the shooting, and the character — definitely not easy,” she says. “What was easy was the chemistry between Lee and myself and my cast. wonderfully collaborative.”

“And I think when  has that love and that respect for his artists that we are creating together — it’s just brilliance,”
