A Star is Born (1937)

Fans of the Garland, Streisand, or Lady Gaga adaptations of this beloved Hollywood tale won’t want to miss the chance to see the original on the big screen! Janet Gaynor stars as Vicki Lester, a talented young actress discovered by famous Hollywood actor Norman Maine, played by Fredric March. As Vicki’s star rises, Norman’s begins to fade, and the two struggle to navigate his growing jealousy and battle with alcoholism. One of the earliest films to use three-strip Technicolor, this landmark production received an honorary Academy Award for its pioneering use of the then-new medium, as well as an Oscar for Best Original Story, awarded to screenwriters Robert Carson and director William A. Wellman.

Lights, camera, Hollywood! Join us for this 5 film mini-series and step behind the scenes into the dazzling, glamorous, and sometimes scandalous world of Tinseltown. From the bright lights of movie musicals to the darker side of fame, ambition, and the pursuit of stardom, this series celebrates Hollywood’s fascination with telling stories about itself.
