Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987)
A finales de los 80, esta película dio a conocer al joven director Todd Haynes (Poison, Velvet Goldmine, I'm Not There). Se trata de una original historia sobre la influencia de la música de The Carpenters en los años 70 y sobre la lucha de Karen Carpenter contra la anorexia nerviosa. Protagonizada por las muñecas Barbie, la película es una joya perdida debido a los enconados esfuerzos de la familia Carpenter por impedir su distribución y exhibición.
