Quick!!Quoted: Todd Haynes [Far from heaven, Safe] burst upon the scene two years after his graduation with his now-infamous 43-minute "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" (1987). Seizing upon the inspired gimmick of using Barbie and Ken dolls to sympathetically recount the story of the pop star's death from anorexia, he spent months making miniature dishes, chairs, costumes, Kleenex and Ex-Lax boxes, and Carpenters' records to create the film's intricate, doll-size mise-en-scene. The result was both audacious and accomplished as the dolls seemingly ceased to be dolls leaving the audience weeping for the tragic singer.
Unfortunately, Richard Carpenter's enmity for the film led to the serving of a "cease and desist" order in 1989, and despite the director's offer "to only show the film in clinics and schools, with all money going to the Karen Carpenter memorial fund for anorexia research," "Superstar" remains buried, one of the few films in modern America that cannot be seen by the general public.

quote: "It's one thing to take a doll sans enfant to the American Girl store, but it is far more eye-raising to attend a children's theatre event with no kid. A cover story was needed."
quote: " as soon as the doors opened, Courtney screwed the pooch. She immediately demanded that Shylo and Wendy buy her a $10 light-up wand, a t-shirt, pennant, cookie and soda. They pointed out that Courtney had finally, finally weaned herself off methadone and the sugar might bump up her cravings for China White."
