In addition to her music career, Tina Turner made some notable acting appearances and was sought out for some high-profile films. In fact, George Miller specifically wanted Turner for “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.” In addition to her role as Aunty Entity opposite Mel Gibson’s Mad Max in the 1985 sequel, Turner contributed the song “We Don’t Need Another Hero” to the film’s soundtrack.

Among Turner’s fellow actors paying tribute was Viola Davis, who on Instagram noted the impact the singer had her as a young child and beyond. “Iconic. Beautiful. A survivor. Brilliance. Our first symbol of excellence and unbridled ownership of sexuality!!” Davis wrote.

Forest Whitaker also honored Turner on Twitter, alluding to one of the singer’s hits, “The Best,” writing, “Tina Turner was an icon, whom we loved for her voice, her dancing, and her spirit. As we honor her, let’s also reflect on her resilience, and think about all the greatness that can follow our darkest days. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Tina. You’re simply the best.”

Halle Berry, meanwhile, tweeted of photo of herself and Turner at the Legends Ball, writing, “She rearranged me with her conversation, her spirit, her depth of character, her grace and most of all her ability to be ordinary and a LEGEND at the time! The world will be missing one bright light tonight!”
