Ein neuer Stern am Himmel

Die Geschichte

Schauspieler Norman Maine befindet sich auf dem absteigenden Ast. Auf einer Wohltätigkeitsgala wird er von der Nachwuchssängerin Esther gerade noch davor bewahrt, sich betrunken völlig zum Narren zu machen. Er findet Gefallen an Esther und beschließt, ihr zu helfen. Esthers kometenhafter Aufstieg an den Hollywood-Himmel nimmt seinen Lauf, die beiden heiraten. Da es mit dem trinkenden Norman immer weiter bergab geht, entscheidet sich Esther schließlich, ihre Karriere für seine Pflege zu opfern. Doch Norman ringt sich zu einem drastischen Schritt durch.
