- Being a dance teacher, your baby hears the music for each recital several times. It was so cute how Hunter, at only 18 months, would stay super still during the slow part of the song and start 'dancing' when the music picked up. At our small studio recital we put him on stage and played the music to see what he would do.

The applause of the world - - and then this!(taglines)Esther Blodgett / Vicki Lester. And then one night stands clear across country by bus. Putting on nail polish in the ladies rooms of gas stations, waiting on tables. And I'll never never do that again, no matter what. I somehow feel most alive when I'm singing. He gave me a look at myself I've never had before.
He saw something in me nobody else ever did. He made me see it too. He made me believe it. What is it that makes him want to destroy himself?. You don't know what it's like to watch somebody you love just crumble away bit by bit, day by day, in front of your eyes, and stand there helpless. Love isn't enough, I thought it was.
I thought I was the answer for Norman. But love isn't enough for him. Sometimes, I hate him. I hate his promises to stop, and then the watching and waiting to see it begin again. I hate to go home to him at nights and listen to his lies.. I hate me cause I've failed too.

There is, to begin with, no denying Barbra Streisand's enormous talent. At the end of 'A Star Is Born' the camera stays on her for one unbroken shot of seven or eight minutes, and she sings her heart out, and we concede that she's one of the great stars of the movies, one of the elemental presences.

A Star Is Born Favors
Norman Maine. Ellen Terry, a great actress long before you were born. She said that that was what star quality was - that little something extra.
Well, you've got it. Listen to me, Esther, a career is a curious thing. Talent isn't always enough. You need a sense of timing - an eye for seeing the turning point or recognizing the big chance when it comes along and grabbing it.
A career can rest on a trifle. Like - like us sitting here tonight. Or it can turn on somebody saying to you, 'You're better than that.
You're better than you know.' Don't settle for the little dream. Go on to the big one..
Scared? Scared to take the plunge? Don't ever forget how good you are. They won't know me when I'm not drinking. Matt Libby. Gubbins, you'll find there a knife buried to the hilt.
On its handle are your initials. Danny Mcguire? That's not what you're getting from me, baby. You're a great monument to Norman Maine, you are. He was a drunk, and he wasted his life, but he loved you. And he took enormous pride in the one thing in his life that wasn't a waste, you.
His love for you and your success. That was the one thing in his life that wasn't a waste. Maybe he was wrong to do what he did, I don't know. But he didn't want to destroy that, destroy the only thing he took pride in. And now you're doing the one thing he was terrified of, you're wiping it out! You're tossing aside the one thing he had left.
You're tossing it right back into the ocean after him. You're the only thing that remains of him now. And if you just kick it away, it's like he never existed, like there never was a Norman Maine at all.
Dialogue. But.. you see how long it's taken me to get this far. Now, all I need is just a little luck. Norman Maine: What kind of luck? Esther Blodgett: Oh, the kind of luck that every girl singer with a band dreams of- -one night a big talent scout from a big record company might come in and he'll let me make a record.
Norman Maine: Yes, and then? Esther Blodgett: Well, the record will become number one on the Hit Parade, it'll be played on the jukeboxes all over the country.. I'll be made. You turn up in the strangest places. Norman Maine: Don't I now? Esther Blodgett: And you're cold sober. Norman Maine: Well, you'd better make the most of it! Norman Maine: Do you ever go fishing?
Why don't you try bullfights? Vicki Lester: Norman, don't you know how I feel about you? Norman Maine: Yes, yes I do. Vicki Lester: Well, then dear, don't you know that nothing about you could make any difference? Norman Maine: It's too late. Vicki Lester: No, it isn't.
Norman Maine: It is, I tell you.. Now listen to me.
I destroy everything I touch. I'm a bad loss. Vicki Lester: I don't believe that. Norman Maine: You've come too late. Vicki Lester: . All the speeches that you've made up in your bedroom or in the bathtub go out of your mind completely and you find that, out of all the words in the world, just two stick in your mind - thank you. And all I can do is say them to you from my heart and.. Norman Maine: . I made it just in time, didn't I? May I borrow the end of your speech to make a speech of my own?
My method for gaining your attention may seem a little uncon- unconventional, but, uh, hard times call for harsh measures. My - I had my speech all prepared, but I - it's gone right out of my head. Let me see - why, it's silly to be so formal, isn't it? I- I know most of you sitting out there by your first names, don't I?
I made a lot o' money for you gentlemen in my time through the years, didn't I? Well, I need a job now. That- that- that- that's the speech. That's the - I need a job. That's what I wanted to say. It's as simple as that. I - I need a job, that's all.
My talents, I may say, are not confined to dramatic parts. I can play comedy, too.
