- 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. - Zábava
There will NEVER be another voice like Karen Carpenter's!
NEVER! 💯💯💯
@@Moonewitch- What a great pick in Louise Fletcher as the lousy mother.
Karen
Her voice will always be a part of my childhood. So many memories.
Me too. It's amazing the emotional attachment we have to food.
Mine, too…
I was a hippie in those days and we thought the Carpenters were 'square.' The lifestyle I followed led to drug addiction and alcoholism and a lost life's opportunities. Now 43 years clean and sober, I own my abject shame for my opinion of the Carpenters. Gosh, they were soooo damn good and Karen had the best female voice in her class. Watching this movie just breaks my heart for all she had to endure. If you're listening, Karen. Thank you so much. We love and we miss you.
Yet you're alive and Karen is dead. It's not about being a hippie or doing drugs so much as it is about insecurities and mental illness and needing to self medicate. Richard was addicted to quaaludes.
Fyi I hear she actually went into wit protect (along w/900 others we were led to believe passed on over the years such as J Denver, M J Etc Etc) ... They've all been working behind the scenes to save humanity... God Bless them and the Mil Alliance - can't wait for Celebration Day💜❤🙌🙏
I'm a neo hippie (millennial one) and thought of the same until I saw Karen's drumming videos on CZcams. And from then on, I got into the Carpenters and wow! Timeless music with a beautiful angelic voice by Karen along with being a highly underrated drummer. Such a drag she died too young! RIP Karen Carpenter. :(
I was a hippie too and The Carpenters got on my nerves back then. Our Senior Class of '71 song was We've Only Just Begun but I voted for We're Not Gonna Take It by The Who 😁 It's so ironic that the Carpenters were fueled by drugs behind the scenes 😬 Anyway, now that I'm an old lady, I really appreciate their musicality and I'm genuinely sorrowful over Karen's sad fate 😢
They are square though
Just heartbreaking. Karen gave so much and got so little in return.
The story of Pisces' life...☹️
😢
She Was Only With Us 32 Year's But What A Musical Legacy She Left Behind And 40 Year's Later Still Loving Her Today Rest In Peace Beautiful Angel ❤️💔
Amen to that, Beautiful 😢 I sing her songs to my African Grey. My niece is staying with me & asked what's that beautiful song you sing to Laura at bed time.
I'll always keep you alive Karen though already 3 generations.
Your so beautiful this world was to ugly for someone like you
@@nidatracy274 Amen Hope She's Found Peace Now ❤️
Life Life. I want to ask an old person about the quality of their life lived and current life and how they feel- now that I am old enough. (As a younger person, I didn’t think of asking older people in my family and they are gone now.) I just want to know cause sometimes I think an impactful life is more important than (just) a long life with nothing but maybe some kids to show for it even though God Said be fruitful and multiply.
It seems Karen Carpenter did not have many happy days though she made a lot of people feel good with her voice.
As you can see, I am very confused about Life Then Death!
@@AndriaaLeoLove There's Still Alot Of Things In Life That I Don't Understand Maybe Were Not To Post Too Understand I Truly Don't Know
As soon as I heard her voice when this movie started...I felt myself tearing up. Her voice has always done that to me. There will never EVER be another like her. RIP Karen...you are missed...you were LOVED by so many...and you left us with the most precious gift...your music....your voice.
Thank you Chaz for your beautiful comment. My sentiments exactly. Karen's voice always stirred my soul and touched my heart. She was such a special lady. I loved her brother Richard too. His talent was celestial.
Please listen to Ms. Gaga's "I'll Never Love Again" song and get a taste of talent at the level of Karen.
I will always love the way she sang "Superstar." I don't think anyone can sing that like her!🙄
Her voice always brings tears to my eyes!!
One of the best voices of a generation. Messed up by a family that didn’t know better and would not change. All the adoring fans in the world telling her she was loved and buying her records, seeing her in concert made no difference. One of the saddest life lost. Rest in peace Karen, you are still loved today. 9/20/2023
Yes how sad she has feelings of unloved by her mother,I love her all musics,all her fansloves her
Karen was a diva, LONG before the word became famous. she's up there with Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and a few others. and the girl was a badass musician/drummer too.
@@remiapatosa6298 I wonder why. She insisted that Karen shouldn't be on this label. That Richard should be on it with her. If it had been the other way around, she would have been proud as hell. It's Karen that made the Carpenters
@@fairmaiden6472The last line of the Carpenters documentary 'Goodbye to Love' says it all: "Karen's career, like her Mothers love, belonged to Richard". Together, they scuppered the solo album she did with her own money, when Richard went to rehab. It's on You Tube , its disco. She wanted to go solo, was bored of ballads & wanted to experiment. Her mother & her Golden Child wbrother weren't having that.
Are'nt we luky to have grown up by the Sound of the inspiering Musik of the Carpentes
Karen's voice is an angel's voice
Seems Paul McCartney thought the same!
Agreed. You took the words out of my mouth! 🙂
Karen is now in heaven with all the other Angels. She was most definitely an Angel on God's Earth may she now be resting in peace
Yes. I still miss her.
Yes it was.
Very sad her own mother preferred her son and couldn't even tell her daughter she loved her. Karen and her angelic voice are Heavens choir! 🙏
😢
My Mother was the same way with me. All my years growing up, I was never told I was loved. She said I was her buddy but that wasn't the same. I ended up having an eating disorder myself when I was 19. As I got a little older, I always told her that I loved her and she would say I know but a child needs to hear that. Two days before she passed which has now been 18 years she said that she loved me. It was nice to hear but inside I still felt sad, because I didn't hear it growing up. I recently saw a documentary called Starving for perfection my friend Randy Schmidt produced it and chatted with people that knew her and it was awesome. I agree Agnes was a dragon lady
You know I wish they were my children they both get plenty of love and caring Rest in peace Karen Carpenter thank you both for the awesome and amazing memories l will always cherish them for the rest of my life the Carpenters awesome and amazing music 🎵🎶🎶🎵 Karen didn't deserve to die thank you Richard for keeping the awesome and amazing music 🎵🎶🎵🎶 alive ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
Getting to hear Karen’s magnificently beautiful voice is worth the whole movie.
If only she could have seen how truly beautiful she was.
I know but that is the tragedy of that particular illness. Nobody could tell her enough how special she was - SHE didn’t believe it.
Karen Carpenter had such a calming voice and soothing singing voice as well a musical genius rest in peace Karen
@anneday,
She didn’t like all that. Stuff that she had to do besides singing.
She had one of the most beautiful voices ever recorded. No one would have ever known that behind that anglelic voice was a painful heart slowly killing herself.
R.I.P. Ms. Karen Carpenter
I didn't know Richard had a lude addiction. The Carpenters were such a clean picture of the music industry. No one is immune to the stresses of life.
Bulimia and anorexia were little known then. If she had proper psychological treatment she may still be here today
The Carpenters DEFINED the genre of Easy Listening. Karen - your musical gifts and talents are missed, not forgotten, and still heralded to this day.
I don’t put them in a box unless it is a magical one.
@@AndriaaLeoLove I do. It's very magical, melodical and tragic.
I'm glad there wasn't any social media during her lifetime. RIP beautiful lady!
Yes! You're so right. I can imagine the comments that would be made.
The actress playing Karen's mother is an incredible actress.
I loved her in " The devil's arithmetic " too
she was the evil nurse in one flew over the cuckoo's nest!
Louise fletcher played Richard and Karen’s mother in this movie. Rest in peace Karen u were gone too soon
I never heard of Karen Carpenter until 1998 I was 14 in health class learning about anorexia and after school I went to the library and rented their CD. I loved it ever since
Interesting- I first heard of The Carpenters in 1998 when I was 14 as well. But it was from seeing ads for their greatest hits that you could own if you just called their toll-free number or send check or money order to wherever it was. I was always seeing that commercial on TV.
I was 22 when Karen Carpenter died. She was 32--the same age as my oldest sister. I remember crying and feeling so lost and forlorn when I heard she died. But most of all, more than anything else, I remember that voice--that one in a million voice--that colored my teenage years with magical charm. That's what her voice was--magical. Her voice and her songs always catapult me back some forty years to another place and time. There will never be another voice like hers. Never. Ever. Rest in peace my sad and lonely lady. 💞💞🌼🌼🌺🌺💐💐💞💞🌿🌿🥀🥀🌴🌴💞💞🌼🌼🌺🌺💐💐💞💞🌿🌿🥀🥀🌴🌴
God bless for this! Amen! ❤❤❤ She was an amazing gift to the world. Very, very sad loss. 😢💔
I think you mean 53 years back in time. They weren't properly famous until about 1971 I would say even though they were doing good the year before (1970). They were a great duo but nothing fantastic at first with their slow and depressing songs like 'all of my life' and 'close to you', 'we've only just begun'. Karen had a very smooth silky voice, which was also hauntingly beautiful to listen to. While Richards piano complimented her vocals. I liked their more upbeat tunes like 'Postman', 'Top Of The World', 'On the Bayou' and 'Sing', 'Kind of Hush'.
Yeah I was 22 aswel 3days after my bday. She had the voice of an angel.
@@Halfscotboy_39 *slow and depressing songs to you maybe*, not to the rest of us. Close to you is a bitter-sweet song of yearning that I really loved as a young teen. Everything she sang had great depth of soul in it. Incredible voice.
@@pipfox7834 yes she was incredibly talented. I used to like the slow golden oldies but these days they're just too dismal for my liking. Everybody has their own opinion and mine just happens now to be different over the passed 16 years. I had 4 deaths in my family now but all spread out in different years. My Gran died 1995 and Grandpa died in 2000, my mom died shortly after in the new year of 2002...then years after...2019 her sister (my aunt) who was a great person with a good heart, died of breast cancer 4 years ago in july. I think I've had enough to deaths to deal with over the years without being criticized for not liking slow songs!!!! 😤 If you like them fair enough but im just not that into them having had all those tragedies to face over the years.
Having discovered the carpenters in the early 90s...... There is something hauntingly sad about Karen's voice that makes you want to reach out and offer a genuine hug to what I now believe was a reluctant star. Finding out about the behind the scenes battles truly lifted the lid on the fact that both Richard and Karen gave perhaps too much of themselves to a public which simply enjoyed their music. Often we believe we know these artists and what they are going through based on the publicity mega machine that drip feed such fans. The lesson most easily learned from Karens story is to try to be kind to everyone as we often never know personal demons others are facing until it's tragically and sadly too late. Rip Karen and thank you for the music 🙏💙
One of the top five Greatest Female vocalist of All-time. R.I.P. to a LEGEND 🕊🕊🕊🕊
Ms. Gaga is 2nd. 🙂
She had such a nice voice. I love the lilts and dips!☺️
@@gxk sorry, there were many more before Karen, I'll start with Mama Cass, another voice that left us too soon.
Karen had what is called “perfect pitch”. One of the best, gone too soon. 😓
I have been a Karen Carpenter fan since Close to You came out. Her life was a tragedy. My heart still breaks for her.
She is the most talented female singer and musician there ever was! Even today, there is no one that can replace her incredible talent and her voice. We miss you Karen!
I too think there is no female singer that even comes close to Karen. I sure do miss her.
We lost her way too soon. She was an amazing artist. Her voice was so beautiful.
I’ve watched this a million times. I’m 53 and grew up listening to Karen and her anorexia story saved me from anorexia. Karen’s voice is pure Heaven and they were so talented!! They do not get the credit they deserve especially when it comes to writing music. The Carpenters are one of the best musicians to date. Their music will never get old❤❤
I listened to her as a child, and still in my 50’s. What a tragic Angel. Every note she hit was sheer perfection. So sad to see her mother drive her into addiction (they found a phenomenal actress to portray her mom), and that healthcare just didn’t have the knowledge about eating disorders and the subsequent physiological/mental/emotional traumas they cause. RIP sweet girl. 💖🕊
Her mom was played by the Oscar winning Louise Fletcher. She was the evil nurse in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The 60's, composer Paul Williams, Richard's arrangements, and Karen's voice combined to express unexpressable Divine perfection.
Karen was amazing singer from the 70's and I was born in 70's. Her mum treated her badly that not fair. She was lonely and depress she didn't feel loved by her mum. Anorexia nervosa is horrible disease and it so sad she died so young. She is singing angel now and may she RIP 😇✌️🎤😍.
Applaud to the director. Since Karen had passed away, it's funny they have no shame or guilt to be truthful. I'm sure Karen would have been happy to admit the truth. Karen is a superstar who was not selfish to always include her big brother. Karen, bless your heart and soul. We love you. ❤️
Grew up listening to the Carpenters. Incredible talent. So heartbreaking 💔 she didn’t see all her beauty she was. This disease is still killing our youth & young adults. 😢
Her voice just gives me goosebumps- I’ve always loved her and feel so sad for her story. So many narcissistic parents who have ruined their children’s lives with their toxic parenting. They can’t love.
Because they don't love themselves
Karens voice and her style of singing immitated many times but cannot be replaced
I was fortunate enough to go to a Karen Carpenter concert in Anaheim California at the convention center our seats were pretty far away but I got pictures of her with a telescope lens and I will keep them forever❤ voice of angel with an amazing brother who loved her very much 😢❤ can't even watch this movie and anymore I'm going to try to sit through it but I cry during the opening credits😢
So cool

The look on her face when her mother said the words she longed to hear for a lifetime !!😢
Yes, but too little too late.
I am watching this movie just to see Karen sing again. Nasty words can destroy a persons self esteme. She just never knew world wide she was listened to and loved. Her passing was such a shock and she just never really knew how really talented she was. May she RIP
According to the book, when it came time to make this movie, the original director wanted to show the TRUE story about this family. They wanted to include just how badly the mother treated Karen and it was Richard she wanted to see succeed. Of course, Karen's mom and Richard both objected. So the director dropped out and the network brought in another director that would follow the narrative the family wanted to portray. But, the new director that they hired also found out the way the family treated Karen and they didn't like it. Since the family wanted the candy coated version and the director didn't want to lose the job, they hired the woman who played Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) to play the mother as a sly dig to just how evil she was to Karen without actually coming out and saying it.
How sad
Good point . Got the feeling her mother was always for Richard not Karen. Of course he object too. Well Karen was the star even her own mother couldn’t take this away not yesterday or today or tomorrow. Rip Karen
Wow.
That is horrible and true, Richard made sure she would never succeed as a solo artist, because if that happened it would be the end of his gravy train. As he is nothing but a piano player without the Angle voice of Karen
Such a shame that they felt the need to sugar coat their relationship. Richard should have allowed the story to be told as it was in that perhaps it might be of help to others in the same situation.
It is so tragic 😥 such a Gorgeous magnificent lady passed the way she did.
Karen Carpenters voice got me trough younger years of beatings, her voice, just her singing to me.
In many ways, she saved my life. I was ready to give up.
On my own at 12,
All I can say is your still beautiful.
My music teacher at age 4 (Mrs Clara Bailes ' Lyons wife to Dr Lyons)
Beauty is skin deep.
Karen had both 😢
The Carpenters have been one of my favorite duo's. May Karen forever rest in peace.
First album I ever had was by the Carpenters. She had such a beautiful voice.
Karen had such a beautiful voice
Same and I still play it!
Karen's voice was one of a kind! It's like an angel. It was very smooth!
Her voice had a haunting sound to it. It was also so beautiful as well. It's such a shame her family would never ever change.Karen was stuck at an age she was when they first started out doing their music-13 years old. She never could grow up. And unforunately, she never got better because her family never changed their ways either. No matter how much the fans told her they loved her and bought her music, it wasn't enough for Karen. It's very sad and she is well missed today. But also back then, eating disorders weren't talked about much. No one really lnew much about them until the death of Karen.
One of the best female singing voices ever! So sad the way her life ended. She deserved so much more but her music and voice is, even today, still priceless.
Broke my heart when she passed away 💔 She's an angel singing in Heaven ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was in the fourth grade when Karen Carpenter passed away at the age of 32. At that time, I didn't know anything about the incredible songs recorded by The Carpenters. But, I eventually discovered their music. "Rainy Days & Mondays" is my favorite song by The Carpenters, and I was in the tenth grade when CBS aired "The Karen Carpenter Story." It was a very touching movie, and she was very beautiful & very talented. Keep resting in peace, Miss Karen Carpenter.
I also wish for Karen to Rip & love Rainy days & mondays so much! I feel for Karen, she deserved so much more! God is still holding you close, you were much loved but it’s only natural to want to shine in your mother’s eyes & dad’s!❤❤🌹🌹🌈🌈🦋🦋💕💕🌻🌻🫶🫶🙏😇❤😆🌺
I’m a big Carpenter fan, I wasn’t born in that time, but I grew up hearing it and falling in love with Karen voice. So sad her life was filled with pain from the treatment of her mother and unfortunately the stage presence. May she continue to rest in peace.
We’ve just begun is just one of my favorite songs by the Carpenters.
Every time I listen to "Now" which was Karen's last recording it makes me tear up, she should have been happier and had so much more time - I wish Karen had been able to find real love, a Man who was genuine and loving to create a family with and break away from her parents.
Karen had a life marked by the ignorance of her parents, the lack of love, understanding, criticism from her family, from the press, having to please others and not having a happy life because her family preferred Richard. A
life of stereotypes that led to her death. A beautiful voice almost perfect to please her parents and her brother, that if it weren't for her, they wouldn't be where they are... peace to her soul... The best voice of all time.
I love you Karen.
People didn't understand anorexia then
Richard Carpenter is a genius and he couldn't sleep. My parents both genius and polymaths and had insomnia too.
Karen was brought up in the same way her parents were and the majority of us born in the 50s through the early 80s. So, most of us survived some of us didn't
@@user-qr9uh1fd8g And many Boomer, and more so prior generations of parents didn't realize how destructive... and just assholic their little digs and criticisms were/are.
The dad was sweet. The mother was not.
A very well done film about Karen Carpenter and her tragic story. In the same way the tragic loss of Rock Hudson brought attention to the AIDS crisis, Karen's untimely death captured the world's attention and brought anorexia nervosa into our lexicon. So sad. Because her voice became such an enormous part of our lives, the impact of her death was enormous! Rest in peace, Karen! We love you!
After a concert her mother once told someone in the industry wasnt richard great? Karen was the group without her there woudnt be the carp e nters. Their music with the instrumentals is unmatched. Rip karen😢
her story still breaks my heart! There will never be another voice or another Karen, like her! I only wish she had known that! I’m sure she’s up in heaven, leading the choir of angels, and I can’t wait to get there and see and hear her again!
Everything in her life was decided, controlled and done for her. I think she started not eating as a way of rebelling and because she felt it was the only thing she could decide and control for herself. It's been 40 and a half years since she was taken from us. I miss her so much. I can only conclude that she was an angel and was called back home.
She never had the freedom to decide for herself freely, she don't have a choice, she once recorded her own solo album but i guess it didn't went will and wasn't given the proper news/press releases to the public and it was then locked up and never to be heard again. so sad, she put her heart and all her own life into that solo album. 💔💔💔
She stopped e0ating simply because she felt ugly and Alrhough Richard was just teasing her like a brother telling teases their sisters by telling she was getting fat she took it to heart and started all of th😊else quack diets. And in the end she died .
@@maryboone903 Mary... as someone that battled both anorexia and bulimia (the only difference I am male) I can tell you that its not about being teased (it doesn't help) it takes MUCH more then that to end up in the grips of an eating disorder. It's about control or the lack thereof in one's life. Karen had no control over her professional or personal life. So she controlled the one thing that no one could take from her. Every morsel of food that crossed her lips... Anorexia once it gets you... It's damn near impossible to get out from the hole. The voice in ones mind constantly telling you.. "You don't deserve to eat. You don't deserve the pleasure food can give..." The weight starts to fall off and you get compliments at first but then as it continues... Those around you start to realize there is something seriously wrong... From that point its a battle... Your anorexic voice telling you not to eat.. and your family and friends trying anything... Cajoling, heart to heart chats, screaming & yelling, silent treatment and begging to get you to eat... and even if you do eat, you immediately get rid of the food by purging or fasting.
It's not without a lot of hard work and intensive therapy that one can overcome and recover from an eating disorder. It took a mild cardiac arrest, 8 days in the hospital, and two years of outpatient counseling to recover.. I will never be completely cured... But I have learned how to cope with and live with my eating disorder...
Such a beautiful voice,and a beautiful person. I felt the same when I was young. Teased by kids in school. Thought I was ugly too. But God in his word showed me in his words that I was beautiful. But it was not over nite. I' m now 68 years old with 5 boys of my own. And I: m just begging to see how special we are to God. He created us with different talents& gifts, I to was not told I love you by my mom and I never knew my dad. Life can be so sad. And joys seems so far away. Rest in peace beautiful one.
Karen's voice was so beautiful. I have always loved her voice. Such an angelic voice. I never knew my dad and I don't ever remember telling me she loved me. I hated going to school because we were poor and kids made fun of me. Karen was so sweet and an angelic voice. RIP sweet Karen.
I loved her music so much! I had "We've Only Just Begun" sang at my wedding in June 1994 ❤
Her voice was so warm and soothing to listen to. She will never be replaced. Left the earth way to early.
Such a sad story. She was so talented. A great sound with her brother.
Oh how I miss her beautiful voice. I saw the Carpenters in person in 1971 or72 at the Garden State Arts center in nj. Karen was playing the drums..
Must have been soo exciting 🎉❤😊
"A SONG FOR YOU, SOLITAIRE, FOR ALL WE KNOWN, YESTERDAY ONCE MORE, NOW", will always be my all time favourates from all of their albums made. It's eternal for me. ❤❤❤
So sad. Such awesome talent RIP ❤ KC ❤ Condolences RC Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice. The two of you harmonized beautifully together
Karen was so amazing but she died from a mental illness most of us can't relate to. This was at a time that eating disorders were just coming to light. Her and her brother both were the best of the best. All my life I have listened to the Carpenters. I feel sadness every time but I still listen. Now the music and the sadness have mixed in my head. I listen, sometimes I cry, but my heart is full. They left a legacy. Karen herself left us with a hole. But eating disorders came to the forefront of society. I kn I w that she saved many lives. I miss the music she didn't get to make.
Paul Williams We've only just begun...they both did it BEAUTIFULLY
during the era of rock and roll and metallic rock ages.. The Carpenters came out shining as a catalyst for pure music which we long for , for a long time.. they stood out and became number 1 showing that people are tired of all those rock music
I was anorexic 5'11" 95 lbs until I had a heart attack at 17 had a near death experience God talked to me and sent me back. I came back healed from my anorexia. I have permanent heart damage and take 6 medications for it at 47 years old I feel very blessed for my second chance. Unfortunately she didn't get that gift
I'm glad you survived ❤❤❤.
We can and do make it. I recovered. My teeth aren't great but I'm here. I'm glad you are too.❤
Thanks for sharing with us! I hope you are having a lovely day, so glad you are here with us...changing lives and perspectives
I am glad you found god & he found life in you xx
God bless you so.
The characters of Karen and Richard Carpenter play by Cynthia Gibb and Mitchell Anderson - the movie The Karen Carpenter story it was a incredible movie then Karen plays the drums and Richard plays the piano - Karen's voice is great she inspires all
I was always a fan of The Carpenters. Their The Singles cassette tape was my first adult music tape ever. I remember watching this movie when it was on primetime TV. A really good book I read about Karen's life is called Little Girl Blue. I highly recommend it. Karen's voice is truly iconic. No one has a voice like hers.
I love the way Louise Fletcher delivers her lines in this movie.
Haven't heard Karen Carpenter music in quite a while. At point one, her voice, the music, the memories and once again hearing the magic. Such a loss, but also, such a legacy. Rest well Karen, we will always hear you and wish for more.
This is such a sad story, I love her voice forever Karen ❤ 🙏
This is a beautiful movie about her life. I grew up playing her songs, there were a lot of meaning's. In her words that she sang. Rest in peace Karen, you were/are loved.
One of my favourite movies as a kid. Must have watched it a million times
I get your point, you saw it many times. A million views start to finish and watching it 24/7 would take over 171 years.

This Beautiful Woman And Her Voice Was So Calming Every Song Was Perfection Karen Carpenter The Carpenters Legends…✨
I would have liked to see the true story. In Anycase i was a teenager when she came famous. I loved her voice then and now i could lsten to her all day. RIP Karen
She had a remarkable voice! RIP Karen 😢
even as the candy coated version, it still is glorious unmatched talent that ended much too soon...all actors involved did a great job... there is so much more we now know about them as a family and musicians and just so much more about a disease.... Above all else is the pure talent..
Cynthia does such a wonderful job!
Thanks for posting. I have watched it numerous times but I never get tired of watching it. I loved Karen and their music.
Karen Carpenter had the most Beautiful voice ever 😍. She is missed everyday 😞🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️✝️✝️✝️🕊️🕊️🕊️. ❤❤❤❤
Good night all at 11pm as i think of Karen with sadness and happiness in hearing her wonderful music.
I've seen this movie before on CZcams, but since you posted it I decided to see it again. It is profoundly sad😢😢 what happened to Karen Carpenter 💐💐🖤🖤😢😢 because she was so young and she deserved to have a man that loved her, but she never had a good man as her husband and she never had the children she's so deeply wanted. However, Karen Carpenter💐💐 was not just a beautiful singer 🎤💐💛and a very talented drummer🥁💐💛, but she was a sweet person 💛💛 with a good heart 💛💛!! I hope there is a Heaven because I'd like to believe that Karen Carpenter🌼🌼 is in Heaven singing 🎤💛💛and drumming🥁💛💛 and being loved by a man and God loves them both🙏🙏💛💛💛💛💛💛💛!!!
There is a Heaven, & there is a God, Karen had a beautiful voice & was a very talented gorgeous woman 😀🤗😇👼❤💯%!!!
If you happen to have a derogatory thought regarding someone else, keep it to yourself. One never knows how deeply a negative comment may affect another. If everyone kept all of their bullshit to themselves, we would all be much happier and our world would be such a wonderful place.
Cynthia did a great job. Love the Carpenters still!
Fell in love with her as a little boy. We had a love affair for decades but I was the only one who knew. RIP
A voice of an Angel 😇. Brilliant movie, thank you for sharing xx
Gosh! What a talent we lost in Karen. I enjoyed the movie.
Her life was bittersweet no one could reach her ❤
Karen had a wonderful voice!
The most beautiful contralto voice in the world. ❤
She had a pure voice, one that we will never ever hear again.😢😢😢 imagine hearing one bad opinion of yourself, and taking it and running with it. And deciding that you need to lose more weight. That’s what she did. It’s, so sad.
It’s such a shame! 🤦🏾♀️ Breaks my heart that so many people judge everybody on appearances and then go head and talk smack, as if they got some room to talk! I’ve noticed it’s only miserable folks that be talking so nasty about others. 👏🏽 You’re 100% right, Ma! Nobody ought to let anybody else’s opinion dictate how they live! & Just in case nobody told ya today, Miss Jennifer, you’re beautiful, inside & out! Created and designed perfectly! May God keep and bless you and your family. 🙏🏾 ❤
Looks so much more clearer than the other movies I've watched here on yt... thank you so much for this! ❤
Such a beautiful timeless voice ❤
So talented! The only time she felt herself was probably when she performed. Her mother is so controlling and her career is regimented. No wonder she felt so boxed in without choices. She was a wonder!
Very touching movie I remember being in High school and listening to her songs even now some of her songs send me back to those days her unique voice a truly gift fm God.
She is now singing with angels .
One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard! What a loss !!!
Man I sure loved listening to her when I was growing up. It wasn't the in-thing to admit but the Carpenter's were my favorite group.
The carpenters and the beach boys were on am and fm radio all through my childhood. Her voice was perfect , and the arrangements were amazing as well.
What a wonderful talent kudos to her brother ,grew up listening to these great hits
She had a voice of an angel, but sadly she had a disease rest in peace Karen Carpenter prayers for her love, ones
It wasn’t a disease , it was a mental illness
My late husband, Larry loved the Carpenters, as did I. If I wouldn't have been so numb and in shock, I would have had one of their songs played at his memorial service. 💔🥺
Well made film. Even now, no one comes close to her interpretive skills and emotive singing style.
very talented family. I watched this when it FIRST aired on CBS in January 1989. Karen was a diva on Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand level. and she could play those drums. her brother Richard a talented musician himself, and Music Arranger.
The most angelic voice of all the time karen Carpenter! and of course her brother Richard , so talented that makes their partenership of the two superstar to adore and remember always. You can't blame anyone in her death and shot life it's her life and taith!
The little darling RIP!❤🎉❤🎉 ❤🎉❤ 🎉
It seemed like fame took a huge toll on Richard & Karen. It's especially sad that Karen couldn't overcome anorexia. Hoping others learn a lesson from this true story.
Overwork more than anything!
Took more of a toll on Karen, in part because of Richard's controlling. They're definitely not telling the whole story here!😒
Fame is so difficult; you worry about looks, weight, if people like you for you and how long can you stay on top
Karen’s voice is so soothing.
