A Star Is Born

A Star Is Born

Directed by Frank Pierson • 1976 • United States
Starring Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Mazursky

The third screen version of the timeless tale of talent, ambition, fame, and love brings together the megawatt talents of Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson and sets their saga against the reckless world of the seventies rock ’n’ roll scene. Streisand brings every ounce of her legendary fire to the role of Esther Hoffman, a hopeful young singer who falls in love with Kristofferson’s fading rock star, John Norman Howard. As Esther’s star ascends and John spirals into addiction, she finds herself torn between her career and the man she loves. Streisand’s rendition of the Academy Award–winning ballad “Evergreen” became one of the biggest hits of her career.
