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.

Amazing music, visual homage to iconic warrior women.....Yay!quoted:Lucille, Jeanne, and Maureen were showbiz pros from New York who toured the Vegas and Reno circuit and the Sullivan, Douglas, and Como shows. Their interpretation of Lalo Schifren's iconic theme song is amazing in its vocal pyrotechnics.

Last night, I was wondering how Heart felt about their song "Barracuda" being co-opted to promote Sarah Palin at the GOP convention. Turns out they're none too pleased - Sony even issued a cease-and-desist. Go Heart! Thanks for finding this, Pammy.
