Her uniquely beautiful voice won the hearts of millions. As part of the Carpenters along with brother Richard, Karen Carpenter seemed to have it all, success, fame, adulation and an inspirational talent.

But her dream life was to end in tragedy.

This powerful and moving Emmy Award nominated film tells the inside story of the Carpenters, the group that sold over 100 million albums and singles and enjoyed a record fifteen U.S. Number One hit songs.

Starring Cynthia Gibb as Karen Carpenter and Mitchell Anderson as Richard, it reveals how a shy, weight conscious Karen was forced out from behind the security of her drum kit and into the spotlight. As fame and pressure increased, her reaction was anorexia.

Karen Carpenter's story is revealed featuring an unrivalled film soundtrack that includes original Carpenters recordings of their finest songs, including Rainy Days and Mondays, Close to You, We’ve Only Just Begun, Top of the World, This Masquerade, Superstar, For All We Know and many more.
