'Billie' is a 2019 documentary film about Billie Holiday, written and directed by James Erskine. The film is based around interviews recorded on audio cassettes through the 1970s by Linda Lipnack Kuehl, researching a book on Holiday that was never completed. Kuehl's interviews were with friends, family members, band members, peers from 1930s Harlem, piano players, psychiatrists and a pimp. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September 2019.

In 2021, 'Billie' won Documentary of the Year at the JJA Jazz Awards.
