Up Close & Personal
Up Close & Personal is a 1996 American motion picture drama/romance that was inspired by the story of Jessica Savitch who, in the 1970s, became the first female anchor on American television. The film is based on the 1988 book, Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch by Alanna Nash.The making of the film is told in the book: Monster: Living Off the Big Screen (1997) by John Gregory Dunne, who co-wrote the screenplay with his wife, Joan Didion. The book relays how a movie about Jessica Savitch to some degree turned into A Star is Born-type film, where one person is a "rising star" while that person's love interest becomes a "falling star."The film is noted for the use of the hit song "Because You Loved Me" performed by Céline Dion.
