IMDb profile

Inside Daisy Clover is a 1965 motion picture based on the 1963 novel by Gavin Lambert.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The plot centers on a teen-aged tomboy's dreams of Hollywood stardom in the 1930s. Once she becomes an established success, she is forced to deal with the pressures of fame, a complicated relationship with her mother, and marriage to a screen idol who she discovers is a closet homosexual.

Directed by Robert Mulligan, the film was a major box office disappointment, something Lambert discussed in his 2004 book about actress Natalie Wood. The actress was far too old and glamorous to portray the younger, "Plain Jane" Daisy convincingly, and the screenplay, glossing over much of the book's grittiness at the behest of studio heads, turned a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of Hollywood into a more optimistic Cinderella-like story.

Although Wood herself sings the introduction to the song "You're Gonna Hear From Me" (by Dory Previn and Andre Previn, who composed the score) Daisy sings for her screen test for Swan Studios, the remainder of the tune was sung by Jackie Ward.
