Yesterday Once More:

Memories of the Carpenters and Their Music

Randy Schmidt

19 December 2000

Far from Heaven; Safe; And Superstar
(Three Screenplays)

Todd Haynes tells the story behind his short film Superstar (1987), which told the story of Karen Carpenter's struggle with anorexia nervosa - with a cast of Barbie dolls. The movie became "the most talked-about, least-seen film of the 1980's", after the Carpenter estate forced it out of circulation. Black-and-white photographs are featured throughout.

Karen Carpenter
(They Died Too Young)

Tom Stockdale's short biography, retold for children

Close To You: The Story of Richard & Karen Carpenter

by Ronald Garcia (Author), Chris Tassin (Illustrator), Dennis Grieco (Editor)

An author who has his own thoughts, not the usual A&M script; but about the music rather than the Carpenters. Well worth a read.
