HE WANTED TO SCB OFF THE SAD, TABLOID NARRATIVE THAT BASED THE SGER’S REPUTATN HER FAL, DG-ADDICTED YEARS, TO SHOW HOW ONE OF THE GREATT VOL TALENTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY—A SWEET GIRL OM NEWARK, NEW JERSEY—SELF-STCTED AND DIED 2012 AT THE AGE OF 48 UNR TRAGIC CIRCUMSTANC. BUT AFTER WATCHG HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF PRIVATE HOTON FOOTAGE—TAKEN AT HOME, ON TOUR, AND BACKSTAGE—MACDONALD BEGAN TO BE HNTED BY A SAD SPICN.“THERE WAS SOMETHG VERY DISTURBED ABOUT HER, BEE SHE WAS NEVER FORTABLE HER OWN SK,” MACDONALD TOLD VANY FAIR ON WEDNDAY. “SHE SEEMED KD OF ASEXUAL A STRANGE WAY. SHE WAS A BETIFUL WOMAN, BUT SHE WAS NEVER PARTICULARLY SEXY. I’VE SEEN AND DONE SOME FILMG WH PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABE, AND THERE WAS JT SOMETHG ABOUT HER MANNER THAT WAS REMISCENT TO ME OF THAT SORT OF SHRKG—A LACK OF FORT HER OWN PHYSILY THAT FELT, MAYBE THAT IS WHAT WAS.” MACDONALD WASN’T POSIVE THAT HIS HUNCH WAS RIGHT—BUT “SHORTLY AFTER THKG THAT, SOMEONE DID TELL ME OFF THE RERD ABOUT BEG TOLD BY WHNEY ABOUT BEG ABED, AND BEG ONE OF THE CENTRAL REASONS BEHD HER SELF-TORTURE. IT TOOK AWHILE FOR ANYONE TO GO ON RERD ABOUT , AND EVENTUALLY THE FAY DID.”THE BOMBSHELL IS DROPPED ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WAY THROUGH WHNEY—THAT BOTH HOTON AND HER HALF-BROTHER, GARY, WERE ALLEGEDLY MOLTED AS CHILDREN BY THEIR DEE DEE WARWICK, THE SISTER OF DNNE WARWICK AND THE NIECE OF HOTON’S MOTHER, CISSY HOTON, WHO DIED 2008.

SO WE CHANGED THE WHOLE CUT AT THE VERY LAST MUTE. IT WAS KD OF A TECTIVE STORY TO GET THAT PIECE OF RMATN, WHICH CHANGED HOW I FELT ABOUT WHNEY AND HOW I FELT ABOUT THE STORY.”MACDONALD RE-EDED THE ENTIRE FILM TO BUILD TO THAT REVELATN. IN JON’S EMOTNAL TERVIEW, SHE RELLS A NVERSATN SHE HAD WH THE LATE SGER, DURG WHICH JON REVEALED THAT HER SISTER HAD BEEN MOLTED AS A CHILD.“[HOTON] LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, ‘MARY, I WAS MOLTED AT A YOUNG AGE TOO. BUT WASN’T BY A MAN— WAS A WOMAN,’” RELLS JON THE FILM. “SHE HAD TEARS HER EY. SHE SAYS, ‘MOMMY DON’T KNOW THE THGS WE WENT THROUGH.’ I SAID, ‘HAVE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOTHER?’ SHE SAYS, ‘NO.’ I SAID, ‘WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED TO TELL HER.’ SHE SAID, ‘NO, MY MOTHER WOULD HURT SOMEBODY IF I TOLD HER WHO WAS.’ SHE JT HAD TEARS ROLLG DOWN HER FACE, AND I JT HUGGED HER. I SAID, ‘ONE DAY WHEN YOU GET THE NERVE, YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR MOTHER.

ASKED A PRS TERVIEW ABOUT WHAT MAK HER ANGRY, HOTON RPONDS WH SUDN, PALPABLE RAGE: “CHILD ABE MAK ME ANGRY . . . I HATE TO SEE KIDS . . . BOTHERS ME THAT CHILDREN, WHO ARE HELPLS, WHO PEND ON ADULTS FOR SECURY AND LOVE, JT BOTHERS ME. IT MAK ME ANGRY.” HOTON ALSO MA A POT TO BRG HER DGHTER, BOBBI KRISTA, ON ALL OF HER TERNATNAL TOURS, RATHER THAN LEAVE HER DGHTER AT HOME. SHE ALSO URGED JON TO BRG HER DGHTER ALONG WH THEM ON TRIPS.ASKED WHY HOTON NEVER TOLD HER MOTHER ABOUT THE ALLEGED ABE, JON SAYS, “I THK SHE WAS ASHAMED . . . SHE ED TO SAY, ‘I WONR IF I DID SOMETHG TO MAKE [DEE DEE] THK I WANTED HER.’ I SAID, ‘STOP.

BEE, I THOUGHT, THAT’S SO TERTG SHE HAD SUCH VOTN AND LOVE FOR THIS WOMAN, YET SHE NEVER FELT LIKE SHE UNRSTOOD HER. SO THERE WAS A MYSTERY THERE. AND I APPROACHED THE FILM LIKE A MYSTERY.
