be an avid carpenter fan and i really love this film ( although the wig do leave a lot to be desire . ) and agree with many of the comment and that certain area of her life be absent or not touch on . whatever it leave your curiosity well and truly unsatisfied and so off i go to discover more . i must recommend a book by ray coleman carpenter the untold story . the book be an intelligent read and unlike the film and be real and down to earth . i hope you enjoy it . i remember cynthia gibb from her day in fame and gypsy . she be a singer ( aswell a dancer ) in her own right and i think this be the edge need to create the character . some other actress may have struggle with this . it be ashame the film do not delve deeper into her story . after all this be the film title and but i felt we learn more about richard and but i suppose like any performer worth their salt and you should always leave them want more .
