Glitter

This rags-to-riches tale stars pop diva Mariah Carey as Billie Frank, a singer who rises above a hardscrabble childhood to become a major force in the music biz. Sent to foster care after she's endangered by her alcoholic mother, Billie eventually breaks into the industry as a backup singer; her rise to stardom is accelerated when she's discovered by an influential club owner (Max Beesley).
