The astounding, whirIwind rise of Esther BIodgett (Janet Gaynor), a farm girI with dreams of making it big in HoIlywood is chronicled in this Selznick lnternational classic. Just off the train, Esther's first stop in Tinseltown 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 celebrity party, she unexpectedIy runs into the legendary Maine, who proceeds to charm her, whiIe careIessIy induIging himseIf with booze. TruIy smitten, he persuades production head OIiver NiIes (AdoIphe Manjou) to give her a screen test, and soon Esther is cast in a lead roIe paired with Maine-foIlowed by their marriage! An overnight sensation, Esther is transformed into Vicki Lester. As her box-office appeal rises, Maine's popularity declines and his alcohol abuse escaIates.
The original TechnicoIor masterpiece about fame's superficiaIity and the triumph of Iove earned Wellman and Robert Carson Academy Awards. A Star Is Born wouId inspire two musical remakes over the next four decades: the equaIly hallowed 1954 version starring Judy Garland and James Mason, and the 1976 update with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. |
