	Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film covers Karen's life from the time of her "discovery" by her brother in 1966 to her untimely death by cardiac arrest (secondary to anorexia nervosa and bulimia) in 1983.
		Interspersed with the story were documentary-style segments detailing the times in which Karen Carpenter lived and also detailing anorexia; these segments were seen as dry and melodramatic parodies of the documentary genre.
		Karen's parents, Harold and Agnes, were portrayed as controlling and indifferent; Agnes, in addition, was portrayed as dismissive of Karen's concerns about her weight.

	Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Karen Carpenter's battle with anorexia nervosa and the cultural influence of the Carpenters in the 70s.
		The film is not merely about fame or anorexia (the disease of which Carpenter died), but conjures the suburban California of the 1970's, indeed the whole plastic experience of America and American pop culture (of which, of course, The Carpenters and Barbie dolls are most certainly a part).
		The sincere lite-rock of The Carpenters is juxtaposed with the emptiness and powerful sorrow of these "people"; the film isn't merely a satire--it's deeply touching in a way that many "human stories" fail to be.

		Forever Carpenters and whenever she is, will be reminded with the best enthusiasm and joy of living she inspired to all of us who were witness of this golden age in the seventies music.
		Karen Carpenter sings like an angel and will make every hair stand up on your body and bring tears to your eyes with her versions of Ave Maria, I'll be Home for Christmas, Silent Night and more.

	Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story
		Haynes is saying that Karen herself was reduced to a dress-up doll by her overbearing brother and mother, living in a plastic universe that enforces surface femininity on women without taking into account the psychological price they often pay.
		Karen's visible sickness -- culminating in her collapse onstage -- is bad for the Carpenters' squeaky-clean image, another façade that Haynes suggests was as hollow as Barbie.
		The Carpenters are even placed in historical context: They positioned themselves as, and were embraced as, a sunny alternative to the chaos and dissent of the early '70s.

		"Karen was such a vibrant spirit in life and it has transcended even death.
		Though there may be songs never sung and life not lived, we find that the time Karen spent here was filled with such enormity of talent, such love of family and friends, such a sense of the purpose of living life that we are buoyed by her songs and not saddened.

		Karen may have been in the forefront, both were great musicians, but Richard was the mastermind when it came to The Carpenters "sound".
		Richard controlled Karen's whole life, and the only thing she felt that she could have control over, was her weight, but on this CD she could FINALLY control things and have them her way.
		And this was her project, her love and hers only, and we should be grateful she left this for us to hear her in a totally different light from everything we've ever known of her.

		Not to take anything away from Karen and Richard's endless string of classic pop singles, but it is refreshing to hear Karen's near-perfect voice, a dusky, melancholy alto with bell-like clarity, in a more relaxed and jazz-influenced setting.

		All of this said, there is probably another non made-for-TV movie waiting to be made about The Carpenters, who really defied their era (the early '70s) with their wholesome sounds but were caught up in the topsy-turvy world of rock (as seen in this movie) anyway.
		Karen's death was tragic and the movie tastefully recreates it.
