Sister Aimee
American Experience, PBS
This documentary is a cautionary tale about fame. Sister Aimee was a Pentecostal preacher and a savvy business woman who was growing a media empire in the 1920s, just when the nature of national celebrityhood was taking root. She got what she had longed wished for--bold headlines about her splashed in newspapers across the country. But it was for possible involvement in a sex scandal, not for her religious work.
