		At a Hollywood party where he drinks too much, as usual, March meets and is attracted to Gaynor, who is serving sandwiches and, in his cups, he proposes to make her a star.
		March winds up breaking the dishes Gaynor is responsible for and charming her into leaving the party with him, later painting for her a life of splendor and happiness as a movie star, encouraging her to follow his lead.
		A STAR IS BORN captures wonderfully the hustle of Hollywood, especially in scenes which show Gaynor being physically (and painfully) prepared for stardom by having her perfectly acceptable face redone by cosmetic experts, facial experts, eyebrow experts, hair stylists, and makeup magicians--these scenes lack the forced "let's kid Judy" energy of the 1954 version--they're colder.

		The plot may be as simple as the desires of the characters, but the picture never condescends, making this a warmhearted portrait of another time and place.

		If Oscar esoterica is your game, you may also know that Gaynor remains the youngest winner of the Best Actress prize (even younger than Gwyneth and Hilary in their hours of victory) and the only actress to win for a year’s body of work of three different movies (which was swiftly disallowed by Academy rules).
		Gaynor, as the country mouse whose husband (George O’Brien) is wiled away by Margaret Livingston’s witchy urban temptress, is largely a reactive character.
		In this case, though, the story does not rest on dichotomies of the urban and the bucolic, nor is his crucible a choice between a wife and a mistress.

		Gaynor was also a favorite of German director F. Murnau, who cast the diminutive actress in Sunrise (1927, again with O'Brien in this timeless classic, arguably the apogee of silent-film art) and Four Devils (1928).
		But Gaynor was best known for her on-screen teaming with Farrell, with whom she costarred in 10 films, among them Street Angel (1928), the moving Lucky Star and the jaunty musical Sunny Side Up (both 1929).
		She received an Oscar nomination for A Star Is Born (1937), one of her most endearing and persuasive performances, but after appearing in Three Loves Has Nancy and Young in Heart (both 1938) she retired from the screen.
