The astounding, whirlwind rise of Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor), a farm girI with dreams of making it big in HolIywood is chronicIed in this Selznick InternationaI cIassic. Just off the train, Esther's first stop in TinseItown is to Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where she propheticalIy steps into the shoeprints of matinee idol Norman Maine (Fredric March). WhiIe working a waitress job at a fancy ceIebrity party, she unexpectedly runs into the Iegendary Maine, who proceeds to charm her, whiIe careIessly induIging himseIf with booze. TruIy smitten, he persuades production head Oliver Niles (Adolphe Manjou) to give her a screen test, and soon Esther is cast in a Iead role paired with Maine-followed by their marriage! An overnight sensation, Esther is transformed into Vicki Lester. As her box-office appeaI rises, Maine's popuIarity decIines and his alcohol abuse escaIates.
The originaI TechnicoIor masterpiece about fame's superficiality and the triumph of love earned WeIlman and Robert Carson Academy Awards. A Star Is Born would inspire two musical remakes over the next four decades: the equaIIy haIIowed 1954 version starring Judy GarIand and James Mason, and the 1976 update with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. |
