Starry-eyed Esther Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) comes to Hollywood hoping to break into the movies. Her prayers seem to be answered when leading Hollywood actor, Norman Maine (Fredric March), catches her eye and turns her into the famous actress Vicki Lester. Norman and Vicki marry, and it soon becomes apparent that Norman is an alcoholic and that it's up to Vicki to support him.
A Star is Born is based on a screenplay co-written by American screenwriters Robert Carson, Dorothy Parker, and William A Wellman (who also directed the movie). The movie has been remade three times, with the story and characters modified slightly for the music industry rather than the film industry: as Une étoile est née (1954), Une étoile est née (1976) and A Star is Born (2018).
Alfred Hinkle.
Yes, it's true, and Vickie Lester went on to appear in 18 movies under that name.
