A star is born : typescript / original story by William A. Wellman and Robert Carson ; screen play by Dorothy Parker, Alan Campbell and Robert Carson.

Screenplay for the 1937 American Technicolor romantic drama film produced by David O. Selznick, directed by William A. Wellman from a script by Wellman, Robert Carson, Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell, and starring Janet Gaynor (in her one and only Technicolor film) as an aspiring Hollywood actress, and Fredric March (in his Technicolor debut) as a fading movie star who helps launch her career. The supporting cast features Adolphe Menjou, May Robson, Andy Devine, Lionel Stander and Owen Moore. Selznick became more involved in the creative process, requesting the film be made in the new three-color Technicolor process and demanding a title change from It Happened In Hollywood which was rumored to be the name of a competing project at Columbia Studios. A Star Is Born was filmed from October to December 1936 and premiered in Los Angeles, California, on April 20, 1937, at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The film's New York premiere took place two days later at Radio City Music Hall. It is not known how much Dorothy Parker contributed to the finished script.
