As the #1 American musical act of the 1970s, The Carpenters were “top of the world,” producing a string of pop music masterpieces, including “Close to You,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” and “Rainy Days and Mondays.” But behind closed doors, Karen’s quest for perfectionism resulted in low self esteem, a disheartening love life, and a very public battle with anorexia nervosa, the eating disorder that 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."
