“Is the price of stardom a broken heart?”
Esther Blodgett is just another starry-eyed farm kid trying to break into the movies. Waitressing at a Hollywood party, she catches the eye of her idol Norman Maine, is sent for a screen test, and before long attains stardom as newly minted Vicki Lester. She and Norman marry, though his career soon dwindles to nothing due to his chronic alcoholism.
A bittersweet journey through the intoxicating highs of Hollywood stardom and the devastating lows of personal demons. It's a classic tale of love found and lost amidst the glitz and the grit of show business, leaving a lingering sense of poignant tragedy.
