Karen Carpenter died from anorexia on February 4, 1983, leaving behind a legacy of chart-topping singles and tragic personal struggle. We'll always remember '70s soft-rock hits by The Carpenters such as We've Only Just Begun, (They Long To Be) Close To You, Rainy Days And Mondays, Top Of The World, and Superstar. But we also recall Karen as a talented star who had it all but couldn't conquer the self-destructive forces of anorexia and bulimia.
