I can't say enough good things about "84 Charing Cross Road," the book or the movie.

Amadeus was mentioned so I thought I'd add another biographical melodrama about a musical star. In MGM's Interrupted Melody (1955) Eleanor Parker played an Australian opera singer whose career was cut short by polio. A big part of the movie is her struggle to overcome depression and finally manage to return to the stage, with the help of her husband, Glenn Ford. I believe Eleanor called it her favorite role.

In the same vein, Susan Hayward played Jane Froman in With a Song in My Heart (1952). The singer lost the use of a leg in a U.S.O. plane crash during WWII, but instead of it ending her career she persevered and was able to resume performing with the help of leg braces and a wheelchair. Both she and Eleanor Parker were Oscar-nominated for these roles.  |
