Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story

By Marc Felion on May 30, 2008

Here’s your weekend movie. Todd Hanye’s 1987 Cult Classic “Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story” which tells the story of Karen Carpenter’s rise to stardom and her eventual death due to anorexia mostly played by Barbie Dolls.

Things not to be missed are the stage lights made from the LITE BRITE toy during the song “We’ve Only Just Begun,” Nixon playing “Sing” on the piano and the tiny handmade EX-LAX boxes.
