The Karen Carpenter Story
''The Karen Carpenter Story'' is an American television film about singer Karen Carpenter and the brother-and-sister pop music duo of which she was a part, The Carpenters. The film aired on CBS on January 1, 1989. Directed by Joseph Sargent, it starred Cynthia Gibb as Karen Carpenter, and Mitchell Anderson as her brother, Richard Carpenter.
The real Richard Carpenter served as a producer for the film as well as of the musical score.
==Story==
The movie begins with the collapse of Karen Carpenter in the closet of her parents' home in Downey, California, on February 4, 1983. She is rushed to the hospital by paramedics, and as the EMT is placing an oxygen mask over her face, "Rainy Days And Mondays", recorded by the Carpenters on their self-titled album, is playing. The scene shifts to teenage Karen Carpenter singing "The End of the World" as she roller skates on the day the family moved into their home in Downey (previously they had resided in New Haven, Connecticut). The film then shows the highs and lows of Karen's life from the 1960's to 1983. One of the scenes, which showed Karen fainting onstage while she was singing the song "Top of the World", was fictionalized. Also fictionalized is when Richard falls down a flight of stairs, due to his abuse of quaaludes. The film improbably attempts to end on a happy note, with Karen smiling after her mother says "I love you." The details about her subsequent death are superimposed on the screen before the closing credits.
