Perhaps most notably, this Showtime docuseries gives near-equal time to victim Lana Clarkson, including how the media posthumously denigrated her.
“Phil Spector very much saw himself as a victim of all kinds of things,” says Vikram Jayanti, who interviewed the producer for a BBC documentary.
Spector’s attorneys fueled that by playing a reel of her appearances in movies like “Barbarian Queen” in court, which, some observers noted, merely served to humanize her.
“What a horrible fate for a legend,” says Paul Shaffer, David Letterman’s band leader and one of Spector’s friends.
“Spector” premieres November 4 on Showtime’s streaming service and November 6 at 9 p.m.
