Madam C.J. Walker's life story is one worth telling, but not everything in Self Made really happened. Here's how the show differs from the true story.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix's Self Made tells the true story of Madam C.J. Walker, but not everything in the four-part, limited-run series really happened. Based on the biography On Her Own Ground written by her great-great-granddaughter A'Lelia Bundles, the miniseries does take some liberties with reality. In real life, Madam C.J. Walker was indeed a pioneering businesswoman.
The real inspiration for Addie also did not chase Madam Walker all over America, going from city to city in attempts to destroy her business. She was established in St. Louis and stayed there until moving to Chicago after a divorce in 1927.Denver And Marriage To C.J. Walker Charles Joseph Walker, better known as C.J., was Madam C.J. Walker's third husband, a detail not highlighted in Self Made.
Self Made's allegation that C.J. cheated on Madam C.J. Walker with one of her employees is true, but the show left out that he was also an alcoholic, which also led to troubles between them. Their relationship fell apart quickly. Madam C.J. Walker, however, did not drag out their divorce as is depicted in the series. She quickly ended their marriage, with Freeman Ransom, Madam C.J. Walker's longtime attorney, facilitating it from her end.
