“I’m trolling him — it’s done the tongue in cheek and is smooth as hell — but he’s dating everybody else. Why not me?” Warwick, 82, joked to Kevin Frazier. 

Warwick is gearing up for the release of her award-winning documentary with CNN titled “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over, “directed by Dave Wooley and David Heilbroner. 

Warwick narratives the doc which highlights her stellar career through archival footage, personal photographs, and newsreels.

Per the official press release: “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” was five years in the making, according to filmmaker Dave Wooley, who wrote and solely produced the documentary. Wooley also directed the film alongside veteran David Heilbroner (of “Say Her Name: The Life & Death of Sandra Bland”). 

“Working on Ms. Warwick’s documentary is a dream come true. “To see the movie come to fruition and most importantly, for Ms. Warwick to receive such accolades during her lifetime is gratifying,” explains Wooley.

Wooley, who also co-authored Ms. Warwick’s autobiography, “My Life as I See It”, said he wants viewers to “learn about Ms. Warwick’s legacy and as a transformational leader.” 

“We focus on her work and commitment to Civil Rights in the 1960’s and how she stood up and stared down at Jim Crow racism. Then we move on into the 1980’s with the AIDS epidemic and her ambassadorship on the US commission to address this matter, which led to Ms. Warwick to prompt then-President Ronald Reagan to speak directly on the issue,” Wooley says. 

The documentary features Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Bill Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Burt Bacharach, Carlos Santana, and Alicia Keys among others. 

After the documentary was privately screened at the Apollo Theater in NYC’s Harlem, Wooley shared how Warwick reacted, saying: “Upon viewing, Ms. Warwick said to me, ‘Dave, you put your foot in that (film)’. That meant so much to me because I put my entire being into making the doc. It’s indeed an honor.”

“Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over” premieres Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on CNN. It will be available via HBO Max.
