Wow, she looks beautiful here...I've never seen this one before either. I personally think with her hairstyle, it might be just a bit earlier than '79, but maybe that's just me. Great picture! Thanks for sharing  |

Can't say Ive seen that one before almost looks more intimate like Karens at home or something I would agree with the 1978/79 date of photo. I like the blue sweater and those collars so 1970s had to laugh at the style we wore back then lol. I prefer Karen in her "heavier" days but this is better than the 1980s photos and OK for me to see her that way. The Pic itself is nice Karens condition aside.   |

This is a very nice pic of Karen and I don't believe I've ever seen either. You could be right on the year, Rick or perhaps even early 1980's as she does look thin here but still on the healthy side and not skeletel. I'm guessing around the time she did her solo album with Phil Ramone - 1979 - 1980.
It's the comfy Karen we always knew though; relaxed and smiling.

 A truly lovely photo of Karen - I agree with E! that this setting looks like it could have been taken at home - just spur of the moment, or something like that. That smile says it all. Very nice. Unfortunately Karen looks painfully thin in this shot. Though her smile is lovely, her eyes look very tired. She looks to me, in fact, just worn out. I can't imagine how she kept up the grueling concert schedule, considering her medical circumstances. Nevertheless, she is conveying happiness here and I'm sure she was, in fact, quite happy. I don't recall ever having seen this photo before, either. Isn't it fun when something appears out of the blue like this that is, basically, new? New to us, at least. Thanks a bunch for posting it. |

I may have seen that pic before (perhaps it's just the pose), but I don't recall the cool, stand-up black color, which goes nicely with the black band and the shimmering blue of the sweater. Those were fun combos to wear, eh?
As a skinny boy, I'll sometimes wear sweaters inside shirts. Fun and warm, 'cause I don't care for drafts.
Ah, that smile never fades on Karen!
Thanks to the friend who shared this pic and to RH for his turn.

To me, it looks like an airport setting.

This is a look not too far from what I sported back in the day. Karen's dark good looks remind me of pictures of my Mom when she was that approximate age. |

I HAVE seen this picture before. And I think it was from someone's personal collection. But from what I remember being told, this was actually taken when Karen was in therapy in NY, early 1979? Before she made the trip home in the break from recording. When she came back from that trip, Phil Ramone remarked how much weight she'd lost from the last time that he'd seen her.

I'm sorry, Beth, for your loss.
As far as the photo goes, Karen may have looked thin at this time but it's still a lovely picture. The only picture i can recall not liking is the one that they seemed to spread all over when she passed away and that is that scary skeletel one of her. There was so much more beauty to her inside and out that it was always so sad to see that one of her.
Anyway, it was so nice to see this new photo of her surface. I really like it.

Beth, I'm so sorry your bunny Hope passed. I know how much he'll be missed. Terrific photo of Karen. I surely have never seen it either and thanks for sharing it. Even tho she's still too thin, there's still the great smile telling the world she has an open heart and mind.  Once again, my computer has been out until today. I surely had not forgotten Karen's birthday and how much she so sorely missed the world over.
