ST. LOUIS - Two women who became self-made female millionaires started their journeys in St. Louis.
Which one became the first millionaire is still being debated today. And the debate now involves the top streaming service in the world.
But did Netflix and filmmakers get the story wrong?
Netflix Series "Self Made" puts early 20th century St. Louis in the limelight, focusing on two trailblazing haircare entrepreneurs: Madam C.J. Walker and Annie Malone.
Self Made calls Walker, who is played by Octavia Spencer, the first female self-made millionaire, a debate we'll get to later. In the miniseries, Annie Malone is referred to as Addie Monroe. And she's portrayed as a villain but that doesn't sit well with those who know the life story of this St. Louis Icon.
"I was taken aback by everything," said Sasha Turnbo, Annie Malone's great-great niece. "I would love for people to tell the accuracy in history."
