{"product_id":"0025192043826","title":"Grace of My Heart","description":"\"Illeana Douglas delivers a superb performance as Denise Waverly, a fictional singer and songwriter whose life bears more than a passing resemblance to that of real-life pop star Carole King. Edna Buxton, the daughter of a Philadelphia steel tycoon, aspires to a career as a singer, and when against her mother's bidding she sings a sultry version of \"\"Hey There (You With the Stars in Your Eyes)\"\" (instead of Mom's choice, \"\"You'll Never Walk Alone\"\") at a talent contest, she wins a recording contact and moves to New York City. She cuts a record and gains a new stage name, Denise Waverly; however, she soon finds that girl singers are a dime a dozen in the Big Apple and her career as a vocalist goes nowhere. But she has a knack for writing songs, and eccentric producer Joel Milner (John Turturro) asks her to pen some songs for his upcoming projects. Teamed with Howard Caszatt (Eric Stoltz), a hipster songwriter who wants to express his political and social ideals through pop tunes, she finds both a successful collaborator and husband. While her work with Howard gains Denise writing credits on a string of hit records and respect within the industry, their marriage falls apart, and she becomes involved with Jay Phillips (Matt Dillon), the gifted but unstable leader of a popular West Coast surf music combo. Students of pop music history will have a ball with the various characters modeled after real-life rock legends, and the 1960s-style song score includes numbers written by Joni Mitchell and J. Mascis (of the band Dinosaur Jr.), as well as one-time King collaborator Gerry Goffin; a collaboration between Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach, \"\"God Give Me Strength,\"\" led to a full album written by the two great tunesmiths.\"","brand":"UNIVERSAL STUDIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087901049072,"sku":"0025192043826","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0025192043826_p0.jpg?v=1763266021","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0025192043826","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
