"Inside The Archives" (A Star Is Born) 

Kris Kristofferson did not get an Academy Award and neither did Streisand. That year's winners were Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway.

Spot on

no Oscar nods for Streisand and Kris although both won Golden Globe Awards for their acting in Star is Born. Streisand also won for composing Evergreen and won the Oscar for that

That’s not true. If you watch any of the versions or read the plot line, do you really think that Elvis would play the part of a man on his way down? He would never have done it

@@theelvisguru9490 He wanted to do ASIB after reading the script. Parker said no because Streisand got top billing was Parkers excuse. I’ll alway believe this would’ve been a pivotal event in EP’s life & career. I cry every time during the scenes in EP bio pic movies (Austin Butler & Dale Midkiff come to mind) when ASIB is mentioned. 😢 Kristofferson/Streisand were fantastic, it’s my 2nd fave movie of all time, and ‘Evergreen’ was in my wedding! Out of all 4 versions, 1975 is still the best! I had the VHS, soundtrack 8 track & cassette, book, t-shirt, and have the DVD! 😁

1954 - A Star is Born with Judy Garland. (Liza Minnelli’s mother). Lady Gaga’ is the 3rd version.

@@MARtinha_ no, it is the fourth. The first Star is Born was with Janet Gaynor and Frederic March in 1937, the second with Judy Garland and James Mason in 1954, the third with Barbara Streisand and the fourth with Bradley Cooper/Lady GaGa.

@@katgirlblue Thank you so much for correcting me, as I didn't know about the first film. 🙏

@@katgirlblue 👍

@@katgirlblue no actually the first star is born was in 1899, a silent film.....just kidding, I kept reading the comments and first Angie says that Barbara's was the original, and was corrected by the Judy Garland version, and then your rebuttal to get another version, so I thought I would lighten the mood with a little jokey joke....

It looks exactly the same except for security cameras and cables

I think the keyword on the folder is "Proposed". It could have been that BS bucked the idea of EP getting top billing since she had already won an Academy Award and several Golden Globes. Plus several of her films had either been nominated or won awards. Not to mention she had the number 1 to pop song of 1974 from her film "The Way We Were". As a fan, I agree that top billing should have been EP but from the studio point of view, it probably made more sense to put BS on top. It may or may not have been her but I am sure her "People" would have fought for the top.

No way Elvis was up for this movie! His physical and mental health in 1975-76 was quickly deteriorating, and he would have had a mountain to climb, to be able to pull this off.

@@Machomannorway totally disagree. he would have been amazing in that role. secondly...if he was as bad as you claim,they never would have considered him for the role. but they did. because actually...'75...Elvis was in a great mood. and vocally he was great. just listen to any of his live shows from '75. he was great.

@@Machomannorway he was. Barbara and him talked about it at length in a secret meeting with Jerry Schilling present. Elvis was elated until the Parker made the negotiations too far apart.

Did you know that it was Elvis that told Parker not to proceed with negotiations for this film?

I guess you didn't see Frederick March's version of this movie from 1937? Because that is actually the original version.

I think he still did kinda okay.

You obviously don't know that Elvis went cold on making the film and told Parker not to proceed with negotiations.

@@tonyclapson6696 Where did you hear that?

They offered like milloin dollars for Elvis and Parker as Bastard he is answered: ok, that's my fee how about Elvis' sallary? Parker blew it and that could have been the saving Grace for Elvis.

Sort of. But it was Elvis who didn’t want to play the fading star

According to larry gheller (sp?) He said EP wanted to go back to his Gospel roots & was thinking hard about singing Gospel music exclusively. He said EP had spent the year soul searching and on a spiritual quest to find the Lords purpose with him. 🥰

The next album would have been the cancelled sessions from January 77

Yes if you’ve never seen any of his other films!

Viva Las Vegas was ok. To me Love me tender is one of the worst.
