The medical struggles that Tina has been through prove just how strong willed she was. In 2016, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and had a kidney transplant in 2017.
The Guardian reports that her life was chronicled in three memoirs, a biopic, a jukebox musical, and, in 2021, the acclaimed documentary film, 'Tina'.
