Docs: “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed”
The title of the new Netflix original documentary Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed, produced by Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, seems to augur the heady examination of a blend of jostling, at-odds impulses. And it’s true that there is a good bit of lurid legal wrangling in the movie, which details the battle over the estate of the genteel-voiced host of the instructional show The Joy of Painting, an Emmy Award-winning television series that ran for 31 seasons across 11 years before Ross died at age 52 in 1995 from Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
