- Liz Garbus: “The legacy of Billie Jean King is like none other. She is a generational athletic talent, a pioneer in women’s sports, and a leader in the fight for equal pay and against discrimination in sports and society. Her bravery and her chutzpah are unmatched as she risked everything for everyone to have a chance at succeeding. Elizabeth and I are so excited to introduce Billie Jean to a whole new generation of young people who will see they are standing on her shoulders and be inspired to keep fighting for equality.”
- Marsha Cooke, Vice President & Executive Producer, ESPN Films and 30 for 30: “Billie Jean King’s story is one of breaking barriers and challenging the status quo, and her legacy as a trailblazer continues to inspire generations.
