A Star Is Born x3
3 Episodes
A story so beloved it’s been brought to the screen again and again, A STAR IS BORN is a timeless parable of fame, ambition, sacrifice, and the inner workings of the Hollywood machine as seen through the eyes of an up-and-coming actress torn between her burgeoning career and her love for her self-destructive husband. It’s also been a vehicle for unforgettable performances from era-defining stars: Janet Gaynor and Fredric March in William A. Wellman’s poignant 1937 Technicolor drama; Judy Garland and James Mason in George Cukor’s showstopping 1954 musical spectacular; and Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in the 1976 box-office smash, which sets the story in the world of rock ’n’ roll.
