A Star Is Born (1976)
Der gefeierte Rockstar John Norman Howard lebt sich und seinen Erfolg ausgiebig mit Alkohol- und Drogeneskapaden aus. Unmittelbar nach einem aus diesem Grund misslungenen Konzert stört Howard in einem Nachtclub den Auftritt der erfolglosen Sängerin Esther Hoffman. Auf der einen Seite ist sie zwar erbost über Howards Verhalten, andererseits ist sie von dem Frauenheld auch fasziniert – ebenso wie er von ihr. Eine Liebesgeschichte mit einigen Wirrungen und einer Zeit erneuter Trennung beginnt, bis beide schließlich heiraten.
