Such a tragedy and I wonder if a movie will ever be made about Karen and her brother. :(

I think that was a TV movie, I want a theatrical production of her life. I love that TV movie but alot was left out. I would love a Theatrical treatment similar to Coal Miner's Daughter, What's Love, Ray or even Sweet Dreams.

Aw yeah.

When I was a baby my sister bought me a toy kitty cat that would play "Close To You" and I'm sad it doesn't work any more. :(

Omg, I finished "Little Girl Blue" last week and can't believe it hasn't been adapted to the screen. Karen deserves a theatrical film. The TV movie hasn't really aged that well at all.

Have you see Todd Haynes' "Superstar"? I think he totally *got* her and would be the perfect director for a live-action film (Richard would never let that happen but a girl can dream).

I think the family wont allow use of the music if there is any mention of Karen's eating disorder.

It's f'ed up

yeah I know I've seen a TV movie about them, but a full feature cinematic treatment like Ray or Walk the Line would be great. I don't know who could play her, though. The thing in these movies these days is for the actor to do the singing and I can't think of any well known actress who could come close to pulling off Karen Carpenter's voice.

Richard Carpenter actually lives in my hometown and I went to high school with his daughter. They donate so much money to the town and the high school.
