- Karen Carpenter: Starving For Perfection. Exclusive Interview and conversation with award-winning biography filmmaker, screenwriter, author Randy L. Schmidt, writer and producer of the critically-acclaimed, moving, revealing, eye-opening and emotional new film, KAREN CARPENTER: STARVING FOR PERFECTION which details the extraordinary life and the untimely sad passing of music icon Karen Carpenter, The film is also executive produced by singer-songwriter Carnie Wilson from the famed group, Wilson Phillips. Randy is also author of the critically-acclaimed LITTLE GIRL BLUE: THE LIFE OF KAREN CARPENTER, a New York Times Editor's Choice and Wall Street Journal Best Seller. On this episode of The Jim Masters Show Live entertainment, lifestyle, celebrity talk show series with television, radio, multimedia personality, host, presenter and journalist Jim Masters, Randy shares details about his brand new, multi-award winning documentary feature film about one of the greatest female vocalists in the history of pop music: Karen Carpenter, who with her brother Richard, formed the beloved and wildly popular music duo, “The Carpenters”, and became the #1 American music act of the 70s.
Karen Carpenter was the first in a long line of celebrities to suffer from an eating disorder during an era when the vastly misunderstood phenomenon brought shame and public humiliation.
For the first time, we hear Karen Carpenter’s personal struggle in her own voice through never-before-released recordings-and through the legendary voices of those who knew her and were inspired by her music.
As the #1 American musical act of the 1970s, the Carpenters were on “Top of the World,” producing a string of pop masterpieces, including “Close to You,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” and “Rainy Days and Mondays.” But behind closed doors, Karen’s quest for perfection resulted in low self-esteem, a disheartening love life, and a public battle with anorexia nervosa, which resulted in her untimely death at the age of only 32.
Karen Carpenter: Starving for Perfection is a captivating, revealing, and unvarnished documentary providing astounding new insight into the singer’s tragically short life and enduring musical legacy.
Randy also compiled and edited YESTERDAY ONCE MORE: THE CARPENTER READER, JUDY GARLAND ON JUDY GARLAND: INTERVIEWS AND ENCOUNTERS, and DOLLY ON DOLLY: INTERVIEWS AND ENCOUNTERS WITH DOLLY PARTON. He has served as creative consultant for several television documentaries on the Carpenters, including the E! "True Hollywood Story," A&E's "Biography," and VH1's "Behind the Music." , and was a contributor to the award-winning podcast, DOLLY PARTON'S AMERICA. Schmidt is a music educator in Denton, Texas.

I remember thinking I was the only one who liked the Carpenters from 1986 to 1997 until the Internet came along. I got their cassette albums in the late 1980s thinking they will go away and back then it was the only way to hear the other Carpenter songs. I then got their full studio album white limited CD set in the 1990s for £67 in Dublin, Ireland
