She just wanted to create and hang out with her people. But she was not interested in being a public figure at all. “She was the muse for all these songwriters she had hits. “Susanna was very influential in this circle,” says Tamara Saviano, co-director of the movie, which is based on her biography of the same title. And that’s the central thrust of this film, which has its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival, on March 16-20. She was the glue that held this group of disparate characters together. For the men she was a muse, for the women a role model. More importantly, Susanna was the emotional and artistic inspiration for an important community of late-20th-century songwriters and singers: Guy, Townes Van Zandt, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Steve Young, Jerry Jeff Walker and Carlene Carter.
