Batman (Ben Affleck) has ... his mom's name? More on that later because this movie is obsessed with the name Martha.
Of course we all saw Beyonceâs âroleâ in the movie Cadillac Records but unfortunately that role was not the factual life of Etta James. For those of you whoâve never read the the autobiography of Etta James, Rage To Survive, I strongly encourage you to check out this book.
Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles, California on January 25, 1938; her mother was just 14 years old at the time, and she never knew her father, though she would later say she had reason to believe he was the well-known pool hustler Minnesota Fats.
