Karen Carpenter TV Movie question...

[cam83]

Hi All,
I was just re-watching the KC movie...and there is a scene in there after Karen sings NOW and they go home...but it's not the same night...and then it is Thanksgiving...and Agnes brings out a turkey but it's only half a turkey....what happened to the other part of the turkey? Because the kids and the parents are getting together for thanksgiving...so it kind of seems...unexplained...
But I love the fact that Agnes(Louise Fletcher) goes and puts her hands lovingly on Karen's shoulders after Dad prays...
Also, on the November 21, 1983 PEOPLE mag cover of THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY...Louise Fletcher has a story in there about her career and life. Ironic!

Just some tid bit thoughts,

That is quite interesting, I'll have to pull out my People magazine and read the Louise Fletcher article. Thanks Cam.

I think that they just fast forwarded in time to finish the movie. They may have had budget and/or time constraints and wanted to focus more on Karens battle with anorexia than her last days. Just a theory. That Louise Fletcher article is kind of an irony. If you find it Rick perhaps you can post it somewhere on this forum it is Carpenters related. and I would like to read it (I do not have that issue of people)
