I want to mention Cynthia Gibb . . . Her incredible acting was a tribute to the memory of Karen.
Yes! agree.
You may be interested to learn that actress Cynthia Gibb (who stars as Karen in this film) is also one of the contributors to a new documentary about her called 'Starving For Perfection'.
Was Cynthia gibb the sister of Andy gibb or the brothers gibb..?..

Karen passed the same month i met my wife we were married 14 years untill she passed from cancer in April 1997 she was all most the same age as Karen when she passed .I miss her every day
Sorry about your loss. Always cherish the time the two of you had together. I have never been in a great relationship. That is so valid for you
OMG I feel so sad about hearing about Karen no more in this world MAY HER SouL RIP and her voice be VIRAL ALL OVER THE WORLD
Sorry for your loss. That is a lot of sad irony. Sincere condolences for your loss.
Got to work with The Carpenters for a week. They were both so nice. Karen was a sweetie. And she had such a beautiful voice. I was dating a female drummer at the time. Karen let her sit on her drums and showed her some new tricks. That is the kind of wonderful spirit Karen had.
One thing i`ve always believed over the years and agree with you on, is that Karen was such a grounded, decent human being and is one of the things i`ve always loved about these guys, that`s why i can`t understand why Burris treated her the way he did, but i guess like the saying goes, `we never realise what we have, till we don`t have it anymore`! All she ever wanted was love, a house and kids and to bake apple pies on a weekend, how can you not love that about her :)
That is beautiful, and NOT surprising! RIP, Karen
Wow I heard that both she and her brother Richard were amazing singers I have a book about her several albums of the carpenters especially very recently on CD and vinyl LP record and I have read another book about the Carpenters and I have a documentary about them on DVD so my collection stuff of the carpenters is building up my mom says she and one of her sisters grew up on their music too
Richard was nothing without Karen
@@graceburn197 Sorry Grace, but your so wrong and clearly don`t know what your talking about, because if you knew anything about Richards involvement in the Carpenters, you would`nt even say that!
I was born and raised in Downey. The Carpenters house was about 10 minutes away and every Christmas the fam would drive by their house because they always had the best Christmas lights. I was only 6 when I first heard them because my parents loved their music. Every time I hear them it brings back a ton of childhood memories for me and I've loved them ever since. She truly did have a one in a million voice and I'll never get tired of hearing it. RIP Karen
Next year, Karen will mark her 40th death anniversary.
Wow! Great story.
So cool and wow 40 years. God bless you Karen. Thanks for sharing.
@@mikearrieta2822 I was just thinking about that it, makes me so sad
Yeah sure buddy!??!🤪
I have a cat named Karen Catpenter. Plus another kitty named Freddie Meowcury. After my two favorite singers

She in March,turned 15 years young this 2024 ! Bought her another blankie….# CATS RULE THE 🌎!!🎉
I just read an article where Richard said that when Karen was in the hospital the last time before she died, they went to put a feeding tube in her and either the nurse or doctor accidentally punctured her lung and then 3 months later Karen died. Karen is how i learned about anorexia because i had it myself and my mom said one time "i dont want you to end up like Karen Carpenter so please let's get you help." I had no clue who she was but looked into her and her story and it scared me because i didnt want to die and didnt think i would until i learned from Karen that it's more than a possibility. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out with the voice of an angel and though her time was cut short, she left a big impact on the world and im forever grateful. I wish i couldve known her and tried to help her. RIP Karen
Hi Zia, i notice you say `i had it`, so i hope that means you managed to win the fight and get through it, so good for you sweetheart :) I`m not going to try and believe i know what it must be like, because i can`t, but hopefully others recover and get through it the way you have, because there is light at the end of every tunnel, i guess it`s all about the willingness to get there. All the best Zia.
Sounds like you are saying the docs killed her by the puncture.
@@SoWhatsNew0 its quite common for tubes to end up in the lungs - it wouldn't have caused the heart failure that killed her that'd be due to loss of heart mass and probably electrolyte imbalances from not eating
@Zia Marie~~I totally agree with all that you said~~I'm so very happy to know that you are alright now~~God Bless you sweetie and stay safe~~There's more I'd like to say but I do believe you must already know~~Please stay healthy and happy and safe~~I will keep you in my prayers~~💗💗💗
Karen's death is speical since it garnered attention to eating disorders its sad that she's gone so soon
Karen Carpenter is now considered one the best female vocalists of all time..
If not the best! She is in my opinion👍✌️
Cynthia Gibb was such a wonderful Karen Carpenter in the film.
Karen was born 73 years ago on March 2, 1950. Greatest female singer ever! 👏👍😍
For a second, I thought I was reading my own post.😅
@@freddyfurrah3789That's a good thing 😊
She was great. I personally feel that Mary J. Blige is far better than Karen was.
As successful as they were, the Carpenters were underappreciated in their heyday. The rock press were merciless to them. I think they're held in higher esteem now as great musicians than they were in their time.
Very true and thankfully so, they deserve to be :)
The ones who die become more famous. It’s a mystery. They were all so talented. Perfection.
Definitely!
I was born in 1950. It was not common in my experience for family members, including parents to say, "I love you." We simply expected that our actions showed we cared, just as portrayed by Mrs. Carpenter in the movie. Sometime in late 60's or maybe 70's it became fashionable to hug & to say "I love you" to people, including family members. Most of us were awkward with this new style of expression because we simply had no reference for it. The story I heard is that it was Richard who finally in frustration told Karen that he loved her when pleading with her to get help. He was glad he did so because 3 weeks later she died. That story rang true to me, because close as they were as brother & sister, I bet they had never said it.
So very true. My parents, sisters, and I never said "I love you" to each other growing up. Yet, I knew they all did. Now that my parents are nearing the end of their lives, I say it every time I see the.
I’m born 2003 and I never heard the “I love you” in my teen years and nothing much has changed in my family generationally. My dad was born March 1967 and my mum February 1970 and they both never got told “I love you” by their parents. My mum’s mother left her and her brothers with their drunken abusive dad (he only abused my mum’s mother) my mum was around 5-6 years old when she left and never once got told “I love you” and she got put in a kids home with 2 of her brothers. I think my dad got told “I love you” by his mum but never his dad and they had a okay but not perfect dad and son bond as his dad was a old school dad born in the early 1940’s but they still spoke to each other. Both of my dad’s grandfathers ended up ending their lives so addiction, physical illnesses and mental health runs a lot through both sides of my family. I think it’s just a generational thing sometimes it’s hard to say “I love you” but it doesn’t cost much to utter those words.
I wonder if that was different in Germany vs America because my dad being born in 53 always said we have to say it before we get off the phone or get out of the car when he’d drop us off or when we leave the house because you never know what will happen, it could be the last thing we ever say to each other. He also lost his mother at 22 so that could be why also? My grandmother was from Germany so I wonder if she made that a point or if it was because she died.
I watched this when I was 12 after my dad told me about her. What I can say I was silent after I finished, and instantly fell in love with her music. It hurts to see such a beautiful women die so soon. She had so much life ahead of her 💔
Nope, very little "ahead for her." Art is Pain. She suffered, WE paid for the Art. Tragic. Sad. That's the LIFE, Karen CHOSE this.
I grew up in Downey and Karen and Richard would drive by the house often... we'd be outside on our bicycles Karen always had her feet up on the dashboard she she smiled and waved at us..... wonderful memories of seeing their Carpenter's Van coming up the street!

I was 18 years old when Karen Carpenter passed away my daughter is named after Karen Carpenter her is Karen she was a year old the Carpenters awesome and amazing performers thank you both for the awesome and amazing memories l will always cherish them for the rest of my life Rest in peace Karen Carpenter 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I don't cry because of movies but Karen's mom not being to say I Love You to her daughter makes me sad. I am a daughter and a mother and the words I love you are just as important as showing it.
I’m wondering if she wasn’t a bit jealous. There’s what’s called the bitchy mothers. Tonya harding’s mother was one. Judy Garland’s mom was one. Frances farmer’s mother was one as well. Joan Crawford was one.
My mother was exactly the same, but when she did eventually say it it was like she was reading script, and so insincere.
Let's be real her mother didn't love her....probably a jealous thing sadly. Unfortunately we can't make people love us no matter how hard we try. My father never said those words no matter how hard tried. So painful. At some point we have to say it is what it is. Find your tribe family when you get older. Make ur own happiness😌. Let it go
Am sorry to hear it /that
I can relate
Today is the 4th of February.
So Karen died 38 years ago.
R.I.P. sweet angle
You gave us everything you got
💋
VERY sadly missed indeed Lucy, should a beautiful human being with a voice from heaven itself! God bless Karen, we will never forget you sweetheart :)
I listen to her all the time. Right now I'm listening to her as I'm typing this up !!
@@EdithLover Hi Edith, she just get`s to your soul doesn`t she :) What`s your favorite album/s? My top listens are `lovelines`, `voice of the heart`, made in america` and `horizon`.
I was so young, but for me is the best voice forever !
It will be 40 year's in 2023 we lost the wonderful singer Karen Carpenter /1950/1983 may she rest in peace
The beginning of the movie, to me, is damn near perfectly done. The sad music, to random shots of Karen on the floor and the boots of the paramedics. The hospital scene gets to me. The haunting music overlapped with images of these men desperately trying to save her. For some reason just hits me hard.
Me too. I can't decide though whether having teenage Karen skating round her makes it more sad, or cheapens it.
Along with her out of body experience
I’ve read that the paramedics in the scene are the real paramedics from when it happened and it makes me wonder how they felt recreating the scene.
I thought the same thing
Same here.
Karen was actually very under rated as a drummer.
RIP Louise Fletcher who portrayed Agnes Carpenter in this film.
Yes, sadly, louise passed away on the 23rd, R.I.P sweetheart!

That ruined my day
This movie was very touching. Karen Carpenter was a very beautiful woman inside and out. Her music can sound like she is singing to you personally. She sounds as is she was saying that she saw you across a crowded room and she wanted to get to know you better so she poured her heart out to you with her music. I think that she is dearly loved and sadly missed
That's beautiful!!! ❤❤❤❤
You should be a columnist. Very beautiful! 💯
Great analysis Shawn. Yes, she had that unusual “radio voice”, a voice that carries across no matter the distance. If you’re in a crowded mall, and a Carpenters’ song comes on, you hear and recognize it immediately because Karen’s voice is so distinctive and unique.
Such a sad story Karen's life was so regimented and overwhelmed by her mother and her brother that she really felt powerless like she was not able to make her own decisions and live her life on her own terms so she took her power back and the only way she knew was control of her body and wait and unfortunately it turned out really badly and we lost one of the greatest female vocalists I know of my lifetime if not of all time.
Her family really did love her. Richard is absolutely 💯 wonderful to this day
Karen's voice is nothing short of angelic. I have loved her voice and The Carpenters' music forever!!!!
AMEN
On my way to grandmas house all thru the 70's, I would do a drive by the carpenters home, their brown van was always parked on the side of their home, one year they had frosty the snowman rising from the ground. I would always say hello, as I drove by, if I remember right, Richard waved to me one time. I never knew a brother and sister who got along as they did. In those days singing was actually real singing of every word. There was no slow talking in music. Songs had emotion and feeling, your heart could open up when listening to the Carpenters. Their music lives on forever.
her singing was a cry of the heart, that's why it was so powerful
I remember seeing the ending of this as a child and crying. Can you imagine saying goodnight, and losing a child by morning? Terribly sad outcome for the family.
This was a beautiful scene with her and her brother. She cried so hard. All she wanted was a husband and children, she loved kids.
Loved this movie from the first time in saw it…. All I wanted to do and still want is to give Karen a massive hug and let her know she is beautiful and just perfect just the way she is, that she’s accepted and whole…Her mother let her down as a parent…. You are supposed to let your children know they are loved equally and completely - no matter what! One of the easiest phrases to say as a parent is ‘I love you’…. it wouldn’t have cost her anything but would’ve meant the world to Karen…RIPP beautiful, I love you
😔🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Beautifully said Sab :)
The voice of an angel.. and she sings with them now. Rest in Peace Karen. You will always be loved.
The opening scene is so heartbreaking, the childhood innocense juxtaposed with her succumbing to adulthood suffering.
We recorded this from the TV when it first aired. It's still on a VHS tape in my house. I watched this movie all the time. I'm surprised how many lines I can remember. Karen is one of my all time favorites. She is truly missed & I hope she's able to feel how loved she is around the world.
Karen Carpenter's songs keeps her memory so alive just like Elvis Presley. For me, she is indeed an icon of beautiful music.
The two greatest singers.
Karen Carpenter, posibly and certainly the best female voice ever...!!!
I worked with Richard Carpenter at Epcot in 1987. The guy who played woodwinds on their songs was my housemates boss at Disney. His name is Doug Strawn. Richard was very nice and a very accomplished arranger and pianist.
I love at 53:00 when Richard tries to talk her out of moving out by going "Karen we're a team" and she just smiles and goes "not anymore! Not in this house!" I freaking love that scene lol xxx
They certainly had their moments Louise, i guess just like any other brother and sister, but given how much time they spent together, they got on extremely well, as Richard said, they were very much a team :)
@@carpenterscollector2910 it's amazing how they were that close, did practically everything together and still had a great sibling relationship like I love my little brother to the moon and back and same for him but we'd end up murdering each other by the end of the first week 😂😂😂 xxx
Same here one of my fave scene.
A lot was left out of this movie because Richard had control of the film. Agnes Carpenter and Tom Burris (Karen's husband) both treated her very badly.
"Oh this is ridiculous" to actually say to your daughter the words I love you? Damn that's rough and so terribly sad .
I was anorexic and bulimic in the 1980s and was givem Karen Carpenter's book to read. My parents never really told me that they loved me. But I figured out a few things as life moved on and I understand a lot more about human emotions, control dramas, narcissisn, and reclaiming your power.
do you know which book it was? i just had a look on amazon & theres several but wanting the one thats most accurate of her life

@@carpenterscollector2910 great thanks! that was the one i downloaded too cant wait to read
I’m sorry that you have had to deal with this disorder. I hope u are in a good place today. May God bless you.
Richard was a genius composer! ❤
True true classic movie very sad for what happed to her she was a great songing very good music my mom love her music back in the day we miss you r.i.p.to the geast 😉😪👍🏽
I thought it was a wonderful movie. A great tribute to Karen Carpenter, the lovely and very pretty Karen, with the most beautiful singing voice ever! Of course it was such a tragedy, if only Karen could have realized how beautiful she was outside and inside! Cynthia Gibb did a wonderful acting job playing her! There was only one Karen Carpenter, who while alive lived life bravely and to the fullest. I believe, a beautiful angel herself, she is singing with the angels in heaven. I miss her! ❤❤❤
Haunting story of that wonderful talented lady who died too young. Amazingly sad and, her voice that still echo's down the years. I hope with all my heart that you found your peace Karen. Your legacy lives on and your songs still brings such emotion to many who hear it today. In memory.
Beautifully said Garry :)
There is no doubt that Karen found fame and her talent has been/is recognised, both deservedly so, I just wish she had been able to find happiness and peace in her lifetime and had more time to enjoy both.🌹
I love Karen Carpenter and I love her singing. I wish I had her voice the way she sings so perfect. The first song I heard from the Carpenters were “Close To You” And I Have Been a Fan Of Richard And Karen Carpenters. I like Cynthia Gibb for portraying Karen. I love you Karen.
I agree with you there. This woman was really great. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She sounds as if she saw you across a crowded room and wanted to get to know you better so she poured her her heart out to you with her music. I think that her music and memories will live on forever
I do not even if ever know what love is cause no 1-one ever gave it to me /no more saying it, take it back unless if an exception
Hard to believe she's been gone 40 years
Angelic voice forever...
The greatest voice !!
Her story really and truly breaks my heart.
I loved watching how Richard looked at Karen every time she sang. The last scene where she was singing the song Now and you see him crying you just see how proud he was. Their mom made me so sad though be 1 she couldn’t say I love you and 2 her reaction when she found out Karen was the one who was signed. How do you favor one child over another I just don’t get it 💔💔
seems to me the mother always favored Richard over Karen, not sure if it was because the female was expected to be behind the man back then, but Richard was never the singer, he was the talent that wrote not just the words but the music itself, Karen brought it to life with her voice. Her mother could never just be proud of her, I really feel that was one of her reasons for being suseptible to an eating disorder to begin with.
not to mention the mother turned Richard into an addict, giving him qualudes to go to sleep and saying, they are not a "drug" they are a prescription. Come on lady, they were dangerous, heck he almost died himself
@@SassyLaughlin13 It's so weird hearing the mother say to Richard, here take a qualude. She has no clue what she just did... then later saying it's not a drug, it's prescription medicine. I totally agree about people, especially girls being susceptible to eating disorders and other problems because there is a lack of parental support and/or encouragement.
People who favor one child over other(s) drive me insane.
i wish that a new movie about karen carpenter would be produced - there are so many young people that i know that love her voice and love the carpenters songs- so tragic that she died so young
It broke my heart When Karen Carpenter died I was 25 at the time And I Always think about her. I was thinking about her a lot today So I watched the movie about her this morning. And it Still broke my heart all of her problems Came When Some jerk Called her Chubby. She didn't have an ounce of fat on her. People needs to keep their awful opinions to their Selves.If you don't Like the Way they look keep your opinion To your Self.
I’ve read numerous times it was also her brother. Really messed up family behind closed doors. Messed up beautiful Karen.
Its not right for parents to play favourites, and treat their children with bias. Making one feel superior and "right" in every way, and the other inferior and "wrong" always.
Nothing better to kill your self esteem.
The Golden Child and scapegoat are typical of narcissistic families.
The 70:ies, it was the man's world. The son was the big star, the sister just a tag-along.?
All I know is that she was unique, she had a hard time with herself
that never was resolved….Richard worked hard to help her, while her Mother was a negative force. As an adult woman, Karen tried marriage, battled everyone’s opinion and it always felt like she never was allowed to be herself without backlash. In the latter stages of the condition that ravaged her externally and internally. Mother Carpenter was insane for starting her teenage son on Quaaludes….Richard though stronger and overcoming his own issues, tried to appeal to his sister, but somehow she was past recovery…I always wanted to tell Richard that…not trying to surface heartache, just an opinion from a woman growing up in the Carpenters rise to fame…
The Karen Carpenter story is incredibly heartbreaking. Such a talented young woman with a mother that didn't respect her daughter's talent or musical ability. Also pushing her to be thin, and that's why what happened to her happened to her. Her family is responsible for her untimely death. We lost a great talent. R.I.P. Karen.
These are my favorite kinds of movies. Not because Karen passed away, but because she lived. I'm glad God gave her and Richard such a beautiful gift that they got to share with us all. I love movies that are true stories about entertainers. For an example movies about Elvis, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, The Judds , George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr. , Jerry Lee Lewis , The Beach Boys, and serval others I know I'm forgetting at this moment. I'm sure there's more movies I've never even seen before, but would love to find more of them.
Buddy Holly, 👓 Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens.❤ I've seen that movie too.
La Bamba is a classic movie. They did such a good job doing cover songs that they made the originals sound outdated. Selena is a good film.
A young Jennifer Lopez embodied her.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
The opening scene of them wheeling her down the hospital hallway is so haunting.
I love how the movie ended Thanksgiving 1982 and Karen finally ate.
I first heard her when I was in high school. I loved to sing along with her.....
what a tragic end of Karen! She have one best voices in music. Great movie
40 yrs ago today, we lost a very, very special soul....
Karen was perfect, her anorexia wasn't, didn't she know she was more beautiful than beautiful, truly a thing she did not need to achieve at all, but somehow needed to.
That insult about her weight at such a sensitive age. All they had to do was plant that dangerous seed!!!
It's hard to believe you're beautiful when the little voice is telling you just 5 more pounds, just 5 more pounds and you'll be happy...
No body is perfect
I remember my mom had me watch this movie back when it premiered saying "I think you will like the music" and I did! Still do, tbh, listen to the Carpenters all of the time. Thanks for posting a relatively clean copy of this movie.
This movie introduced a whole new generation to their music. Totally.

What a voice, so beautiful. R.I.P Karen Carpenter
I grew up listening to the Carpenter's in the early 1970's...I wanted to sing like Karen...I was a figure skater & would use their songs to skate to my routines...I eventually started writing songs, singing, playing piano & guitar & songwriting. Thank you Richard and Karen Carpenter for such beautiful music 🎵
O my Lord I heard Carpenters when I was just 18 years old… now I am seeing them on UA-cam I am so thrilled 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ CARPENTERS Are AMAZING
I grew up with the Carpenters' music. I remember when Karen died, I was 9 and my mum was sad. Still today I love her voice and their music.
I'm still so in love with Karen Carpenter hard drumming and singing but the most important thing is the wonderful loving caring woman to ever walk the face of this planet I really do hope to meet her in my afterlife they'll never ever be another person that can duplicate or replace Karen Carpenter one-of-a-kind true angels rest in peace my loving angel
What a voice Karen had, gone way too soon and so missed 😢
Rest In Peace dear Karen . I grew up listening to you and Richard . I was in last year Highschool when you passed. I was devastated by your death . You have the voice of an Angel just like your friend Olivia Newton-John who is up there with you know too. Another angel voice. 🕊✝️💐😔😢✝️
Karen was a lovely singer and I understand where she coming from
The voice one in a lifetime. 🙏
Thank you Richard.♥️
Thank you so much for uploading this movie! I was 14 in 1989 and was obsessed with the new kids on the block 😁😁 Unfortunately I either missed the movie or didn’t know too much about her at the time. I sure hope Richard will consider re-releasing this movie and possibly doing a memoir and an updated documentary. He’s the only person Today and until the end of Time that can tell the legacy of the carpenters the right way
It is a shame that Karen didn’t know how beautiful and talented she was. Their mom giving her son quaaludes is wild to me. She seemed to care more about the business than her kids.
@BloodiBunni They both CHOSE the life.
Wonderful all-time favorite movie of Mine. She had 1 in a billion voice, not one in a million voice. Such Wonderful songs from her, and Richard that gave so much love for years to the world. Thank you both.
My mother got me into the Carpenters and had me watch this movie which left me in silence. Such a beautiful soul inside and out. It was such a tragedy to lose her. I hope my mom has met her up there
I listen to the carpenters as a kid in the '70s. I've seen the movie several times. It is a tragic loss that she passed away from her illness. Most beautiful voice I've ever heard from a woman singer she is truly missed.
That poor girl 😭
... This movie resides in my soul, where it was lodged when I was 11 years old.
I had heard of the Carpenters, but never knew anything else. What a truly beautiful voice. I can imagine what they would be like today. I only wish her body had been able to go back to what her soul wanted. Short lived gift, but a gift none the less. 💔
First five minutes into the movie and I’m sobbing. So young…so sad…but what a voice.
Superstar is my favorite Carpenter song. 😢 I didn't have Anorexia Nervosa, but I did have Body Dismorphia when it came to my nose. HOW INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE I WAS ABOUT IT? I WOULD IMMEDIATELY DESPISE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MY NOSE. 😢 😮
Now has got to be my favourite song.. It always make me teary every time I hear it, nothing beats her voice 😌
One of my favorites too Holly. Another one i like alot, which i think is underrated and under played, is `Two Sides`, great song :)
@@carpenterscollector2910 This is a great song too. I love good lyrics within songs, makes you really connect with them 🙂
I have a copy of the Karen carpenter story on vshs i won't allow any one borrow my vshs video and i also iam watching Karen carpenter story on UA-cam i love the Karen carpenter story Laurie Alvaro
Great movie I'm glad to watch it again..I'm 36 and haven't seen it since I was 10 when my babysitter showed it to me xx
Glad you enjoyed it
It was so sad her story...and no one tried to help her who was her celebrity friends ......so sad....and such an angelic voice
Omg,how i dance to their music,in 6th grade,n i still love them
I Love The Karen Carpenter Story, it’s one of my favorite movies, Karen Carpenter is the only one I love,
But I am not so crazy about Richard
Many argue Karen would`nt have been what she was without Richard, so whilst you don`t have to like him, you certainly have to respect his genuis in making the Carpenters who they were :)
@@carpenterscollector2910 The Star is always more famous and popular than the composer arranger :)
This is where I discovered the Carpenters way back 1990. From that day on when I saw this on Sundays Big Event on RPN 9 (Philippines Tv) I fell in love with The Carpenters especially Karen until now and forever 🥰
I've seen this movie a ton. but Ill never get tired of her voice. I grew up on the Carpenters and when my kids were young I had their greatest hits CD constantly playing in my car. One day my 22 year old son calls me, he and his girl-friend at the time were arguing over how good her voice was.... Of Course my son was right!! I raised him right.
it's so sad how tragic things were with karen and richard later on, when my grandma passed away my family had they long to be close to you since my grandma loved that song so much i love that song but every time i hear karen sing i start feeling sadness but looking at how she looks she wasn't "fat" she was so beautiful but when she got sick my heart ached for her even though i was born in 93 she will always live on
This movie fills my heart with so many things..one of my favorite female voices of all time! Also how can u not be a fan of hers . She was everything
I agree! I was around 7 or 8 when I first heard The Carpenters. It was 1970.
Been a fan ever since.
It's true. There is no way you couldnt be a fan of hers.
Wish I had the chance to see them live, and meet them.
They had a very special chemistry on stage with there music, Karen poured out all her feelings into every song she sang.
I have two brothers and I know how it feels to be not the favourite. Everything I say is met with criticism and contempt but if my brothers say the same thing, it's a good idea. I was ugly if I dressed like this but trying hard if I dressed like that. They see me as a possession, as an object, without feelings that they can be rude to.
Edit: As I continue watching it becomes more and more realistic. People around make decisions FOR me without stopping to think that I should be the one to make that decision. It's part of why your self-esteem is so low, people don't see you as a capable adult, their equal, who's opinion matters. They tell you what you can or cannot do like how Richard forbids her to go solo or mess with their sound.
You're reading my mail.. It's embarrassing but I'm thankful for u putting into words what I couldn't 🌹
Now that you understand what is going on, then time to leave toxic relations goodbye. Dont care if they call themselves family. Life is to short to hang out with those who do not respect you as an autonomous person. Fly free.
I’m the eldest of 4 and I too, only know to well how she feels. The only person I felt loved by, growing up, was my nan.
I have had to make my own way through life, since 11 (I’m 39 now), whilst my siblings were garnished in privilege, whilst I festered in the care system.
I raised myself. I loved my dad dearly and when I started having the relationship I had always wanted with him, Covid took him from me in February.
Narcissistic abuse read up on it good luck ❤
Well said. I have the same situation 👌
Im 8 yrs.old when ms.karen died how sad 😥😥😥😥 I missed her angelic voice.
40 years, 4 decades, since we lost Karen . . .
Died too soon but left a life time of great music ♥️
Superb film with a pretty much perfect cast.
Was brought up on the duo. Had many similarities to Karen too.. We were both drummers with anorexia.
Such a beautiful alto voice and great talent -- we sure missed Karen Carpenter during these past 40 years.
Voice of an angel ❤ So sad.
Superstar makes me teary eyed cynthia portrayed karen wonderfully I had a crush on her and I am a girl
No one has ever been able to match Karen's voice since her passing
The greatest voice forever!!
Listen to her as she sings “the blues”. 0:50. The richness in her voice. Sublime.
