After a cameo appearance in 1999's "The bachelor", it was time
for Mariah to play the leading part in a movie. There were already
plans for this movie in 1999, then it was called "All that glitters", but
fans had to wait until September 20, 2001 to see the movie "Glitter".
Based loosely on Mariah's own life, it tells the story of a mixed-race
woman who is abandoned by her white father and taken from her
black mother to be raised by foster parents. After years of hardship
she finds fame and fortune as a 1980s pop star, then goes looking
for her mother.
Mariah about the movie: "It's in the early 80's, in the club scene of
that time. I play a singer, Billie, who's half-breed, from a white father
and a black mother. Billie grows up in a foster home, because her
mother abandonned her. Later on she meets a DJ and becomes a
star in just one night. The point is, that all this time she waits for her
mother to return. As you can see, this is far away from my reality,
because I couldn't have a closest relationship with my own mother.
When she's not with me, she calls like every 5 minutes."
The reviews "Glitter" received were devastating and the movie did very
poorly in theaters, In most countries it wasn't
even released. In the USA it premiered only in 1,196 theaters and
was the 11th highest-grossing movie over the weekend with $5M. It
was originally scheduled to open over Labor Day weekend, but the
film was pushed back three weeks when Mariah checked into a hospital
for emotional stress.
Mariah looks back at that period "as something that had to happen
in my life. That time period was so blown out of proportion. That
movie and that soundtrack - which had some really good songs that
hopefully one day I'll get to redo - the fact it came out on September
11, people need to remember. How can we expect anything from
that? I was a scapegoat in a lot of ways for talk show hosts who
wanted to get away from the real stuff going on in the world. We all
have to go through our tests to see how strong we are and come out
on the other side."
