Tennis legend Martina Navratilova will executive produce a feature documentary on all-time greats from another era — Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills.
“The Goddess and The American Girl” tells the story of French tennis champion Suzanne Lenglen and American sensation Helen Wills against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties. The feminist Lenglen and the embodiment of American energy Wills took center stage in a tennis match at Cannes in 1926 — dubbed the “Match of the Century” — and in the process changed women’s lives forever.
