Jack Cassidy made his reputation on Broadway, eventually winning a Tony Award in 1964 for his performance in the musical She Loves Me. On stage and on TV, he defined the image of an urbane sophisticate, brimming with self-confidence. There's plenty of classic Cassidy in The Story of a Star, the cast's homage to A Star Is Born. He's perfect as the dissolute fading star Norman Swain opposite rising star Esther "Vicki" Crotchett, played by Carol. Elsewhere, Carol and Harvey go to an orphanage to adopt a young child. They choose Leon (Tim), aged 35, who has issues and a surprise up his sleeve. Up in heaven, angel Harvey gets a new cloud mate - Tim, a Jew's harp player ill-suited for this celestial realm. Harvey may not like him, but he's worth his weight in laughs.
