Star

Star (1993) is a Danielle Steel melodrama you can watch online on iFILM. When her father dies, sixteen-year-old Crystal Wyatt loses her place on the family ranch and heads to San Francisco with almost nothing. Her voice is the only thing she has left to trade on.

Jennie Garth plays the girl who starts out singing in a nightclub and, a few years on, is filling concert halls. Fame, money, crowds of fans — it all arrives, except peace of mind. Crystal can never quite let go of the land she came from or of the first love she left behind there. Craig Bierko and Terry Farrell play the men pulling her in opposite directions as the price of success keeps climbing.

Directed by Michael Miller, this is classic Steel television: a rise from nowhere to the top of the charts, where every spotlight costs something. A gentle, sentimental watch for anyone who loves stories of women's lives and strong nineties heroines. Stream Star (1993) online on iFILM.
