Hollywood Star Movie: A Star Is Born

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring Janet Gaynor, Fredric March

Janet Gaynor plays Esther Blodgett, a movie-struck country girl convinced that Hollywood will bring her fame and fortune. But her public life is deeply affected when Norman Maine, a fading movie-idol, falls in love with her. This early version of the film, twice remade as a musical, is a vivid and often harsh portrait of tinsel town in the 30s.
