born80years2late Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've been trying to remember the name of a movie where a girl travels to Hollywood hoping to become a star and is discovered by a washed up actor who tries to relive his fame vicariously through her. Can anyone tell me what the name of the movie is and who played in it? I could have sworn that the lead man was Cary Grant but as it turns out I am probably wrong about that. Please help? I would really like to see this movie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianabat Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 This is A Star Is Born. It was made several times, most notably in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, and again in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason. The latter is a musical version, but still quite true to the original. You can find more info here: 1937 -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029606/ 1954 -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047522/ There was another version made in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. I highly recommend you give it a miss. Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
