In 1937, A Star is Born,
Frederic March guided Janet Gaynor to the great heights of fame,
Life changed for them both,
Never would their relationship be the same.
Enter A Star is Born in 1954,
Judy Garland, a budding actress desperate for a break,
Under confidante and husband James Mason she flourishes,
For him, a path of alcoholism and self -destruction lie in his wake.
In the rock and roll world of the Seventies, 1976 A Star is Born,
Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson are the star- crossed lovers for a new generation,
The struggling singer with the voice of an angel yet to hit the big time,
Her knight and rock – damaged, managing her career with dedication.
Post – millennium, 2018, A Star is Born,
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are the ill -fated lovers Ally and Jackson Maine,
His star and fame on the decline, guiding her career ascent,
Witnessing her journey to success and national acclaim.
A Star is Born over 80 years old,
A Star is Born for every generation,
It has survived through the years,
We await a new version in the future with anticipation.

- Comment from author about the poem: A Star is Born is over 80 years old with the first version released in 1937 and remakes in 1954, 1976 and now 2018 starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I saw the 2018 version just the other day it is good and Lady Gaga is excellent as the aspiring singer desperate for a career break. However, my favourite version is the 1976 Barbara Streisand version. Here is my tribute to A Star is Born - enjoy!

That film will always be with us in its many incarnations.
Hello Goldfinch60,
It certainly will.
Every version of it is good.
Like Doctor Who there's a Doctor for everyone depending when you were a child growing up!
With A Star is Born there is a version that you will always like.
