Sad that her legacy is not more known and acknowledged outside of true cinema circles. She broke societal taboos about dance and showing skin in the silent era and then volunteered to usher MGM into the talkies era. Everyone was petrified and she volunteered to be first heard. That alone should make her a not only a top screen legend but a cultural one as well. Number #10 on that list of greatest actresses is fair, but in terms of legacy and lasting star power she is easily #1. I guess part of the problem is unless you commit yourself to seeing much of old hollywood cinema, like you would in a cinema class or as a cinema buff, you might just not know her history and huge body of work. But what I never will understand is why people actively dislike her. Most of the book is so easily debunked it's laughable and the movie was absurd levels of camp.
One of my all time favorite actresses. She was incredible at her art. She deserved the Oscar for Possessed in 1946 and an Oscar nomination for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane in 1962. She was as good as Betty in that movie. Good job with the me video. This made me cry.
What I love about Crawford, is not so much her acting abilities, but her drive and determination to better herself. She really had no role model to emulate from her upbringing, so she had to learn and assimilate from others that she came in contact with as a young adult. What a lucky break she got when MGM hired her for a six month option contract (if they didn't like her, they could terminate her at the end of the six months). She was like a sponge, absorbing everything and everyone around her. MGM gave her voice lessons, taught her how to walk, how to dress, and molded her into a movie star, covering up and concealing her sorted past. This was a woman who craved a better social status for herself and fought like hell to achieve it. It's the good old American success story.
I've watched this video many times, and I still get teary-eyed. I really love this tribute. You are a very talented person, secondhandroses! Joan would be sooo proud of this.
This is so, sooooo beautiful- I can't believe I hadn't seen it until now. She was beautiful, and she was the definition of a movie star. No one can take that away from her.
great job, great tribute, thanks for all of us who are in love with Joan's magnetism , her unique singular beauty , and at her time the most fascinating face on the silver screen, dazzling, stunning and shinning Star, the real enduring Queen of Hollywood , she might be gone, but her movies are here and forever to stay. thank you again for us, and Joan too...!
Wow,wonderful job on this! Made me cry! I wish I was alive in the 1930’s! She was in her prime then and looked so stunning! I wish I owned all her movies! I’d watch them all!
Where's Letty Lynton from 1932? I know the film was eventually shelved because of copyright issues, but at the time it was a big hit for Crawford. It even inspired the famous Letty Lynton dress Crawford wore on the film.
This video is simply amazing. I have no words. I cried a little, I must confess. You missed Letty Lynton, but the film is very rare, just as rare as some of her early silent films. If I'm not mistaken, 8 of her silent films are reported as lost. You could have included promotional stills of those films, but your concept was too good to be ruined. Congrats! Very touching indeed.
+Leonardo Baricala Yes, I felt bad for not including Letty Lynton as well but since the movie had legal issues I did not want to risk including it. I hope you understand and it is a shame since it is one of Joan's best performances.
What a star she was. Thank you for the beautiful video. I wish TCM would have her as their star of the month again. There's a lot of movies I still need to see.
how beautiful! she was an incredible actress and so talented in everything she did .. i always cry with this video, it may pass as long as it is but her legacy will never be forgotten.❤(sorry my bad english)
This is a beautiful collection that shows the breadth of Joan Crawford's talents. I was not aware of her comedic side, but that was there too. The screen and camera loved her.
This tribute and homage to Joan Crawford was quite touching and very well put together. Thank You for doing this..... out of LOVE and ADMIRATION. #favoriteofthegoldenera
Thank you so much for posting this! She is my all time favorite movie star, and always will be! It's amazing that from such humble and impoverished beginnings, she achieved this level of success and sustained her career over the course of decades. Joan Crawford was one in a lifetime.
Thank you, thanks for all of us who love Joan. There are two faces I can look at over and over , and forget , my troubles, sadness, loneliness..... , captivating, fascinating, magnificent faces, of course Joan Crawford and Catherine Deneuve, and I am convince that both, Scott brothers, Ridley and Tony had a deep fascination with Joan's beauty and strength , I have seen plenty of scenes in their movies that were straight out of Joan's movies. Rachel : Sean Young in Blade Runner...hair..shoulder pad..is so Joan.. Miriam : Catherine Deneuve in the Hunger with Bowie is so Joan as well.... nice tributes... and I have , carefully watched all of their movies and they included so many scenes that came without any doubts from Crawford's filmography. Anyway thanks again, very touching homage.
My god that was amazing! You are extremely talented, the title of your video doesn’t suggest that it’s the fantastic piece of art that it is. Thank you!
bobby Lawrence yes!! she was beautiful in all the ages, my opinion. My favorite was probably be 40s and 50s and also 60s because she became more wiser I guess
I have 29 Joan movies: *Our Dancing Daughters *Our Modern Maidens *Untamed *Our Blushing Brides *Dance Fools Dance *Possessed *Grand Hotel *Dancing Lady *Sadie McKee *Chained *Forsaking All Others *The Women * Strange Cargo *A Woman's Face *Above Suspicion *Mildred Pierce *Humoresque *Possessed *Daisy Kenyon *Flamingo Road *The Damned Don't Cry *Harriet Craig *Goodbye, My Fancy *Sudden Fear *Torch Song *Queen Bee *Autumn Leaves *The Story of Esther Costello *What Ever Happened to Baby Jane
Suelo ver estos videos cuando estoy embriagado , rodeado de mi soledad y sólo puedo sentir el dolor y la lucha de Joan en cada película que hizo en su vida como aquel dolor que todo llevamos dentro.
@FRANCISCO LÓPEZ A pesar de tener el AMOR Y LA COMPRENSIÓN DE MIS SERES QUERIDOS he experimentado la soledad en los ultimos 14 y 3 meses y lo entiendo perfectamente lo único que GRACIAS A DIOS NUNCA HICE NI HARIA ES EMBRIAGARME CON ALCOHOL pues un ser querido alcohólico nos arruino la vida en mi niñez...Q.D.E.P. PAPÁ...
I know the things that’ve been said and written about her and they may be true but my goodness she was gorgeous. And I think very talented. Thank you for the video. Oh, and Tramp Tramp Tramp. What a title!
Joan Crawford was underrated, especially in Dancing Lady n Possed also in WEHTBJ, why wasn't she nominated for Best Supporting Actress, yes Bette Davis stole the show, but Joan Crawford was more convincing playing up to Davis , she made you really believe she was the Victim,until that Shocking ending.. in Johnny Guitar and Autuam leaves she was Awesome, actually all of her films were very entertaining and she was always believable in the roles she portrayed. Thumps up to JOAN CRAWFORD.
This is wonderful. Thank you. My only comment/wish is that the earlier clips at the beginning were longer so that I could look at her & the title for more time etc. Great stuff.
How does Bette get praised for being one of the best actresses and people say Joan couldn't act? Its actually insane to me. They are on the same level.
And to those asking I did make a Bette Davis one if you would like to see.

secondhandroses Please make an Audrey Hepburn and Greta Garbo video.
Do you know the name of the piano song in the beginning it’s lovely
Let us build a fabulous shrine, one to end all shrines to the Queen, her majesty Joan Crawford. It is long past time to give her her due.
gosh i watch this so many times
She was and still is, the GREATEST of them all!!! ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
I didn't realise Joan's versatility. The clips from her films show a depth of acting that rivals all contemporaries and exceeds most.
If my tears were collected every time I rewatched this video I'd have pails filled.
Ingrid Mermadette ❤️
lmao
She was so much more versatile than often given credit for. Thanks for this, it really proves what a frickin' great film legacy she left us.
Sad that her legacy is not more known and acknowledged outside of true cinema circles. She broke societal taboos about dance and showing skin in the silent era and then volunteered to usher MGM into the talkies era. Everyone was petrified and she volunteered to be first heard.

She worked like every year up until 1970! 🤩 wow
One of my all time favorite actresses. She was incredible at her art. She deserved the Oscar for Possessed in 1946 and an Oscar nomination for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane in 1962. She was as good as Betty in that movie. Good job with the me video. This made me cry.

This woman is a legend plain and simple. Respect
I don't know how many times I've already watched this video. It's so touching and the editing is beautiful. Thank you so much for this.
Same me
I always cry...
Can’t stop watching this. Love Joan and the music. Bravo!
Very touching! What a career! Thank you Ms Crawford!!! 💋
Just perfect! I completely enjoyed this Movie collage Of THE ONE AND ONLY , Miss Joan Crawford . What an Icon💯♥️
Fantastic what a body of work and what a legacy. Bravo.
I've watched this video many times, and I still get teary-eyed. I really love this tribute. You are a very talented person, secondhandroses! Joan would be sooo proud of this.
The Eternal Queen of Cinema.
Born 1904 not 06
Beautiful tribute to my favorite and one of the greatest..... talanted, beautiful and very often misunderstood. I love Joan
That was beautiful and quite moving. Thank you for this.
She was gorgeous
Strange Cargo was such a beautiful picture 😍
Rise and fall...but never fall as long as shes in our hearts because she is the queen!!! The star may be gone but the films stay forever
This is so, sooooo beautiful- I can't believe I hadn't seen it until now.
She was beautiful, and she was the definition of a movie star.
No one can take that away from her.
So beautiful. It makes me cry. Thank you for sharing.
I love forever miss Crawford! my inspiration.
This feels like the most beautiful tribute I have ever seen for Joan Crawford❤️
Beautifully done. A gift to the stars for one of its brightest.
Hollywood's Best
JOAN CRAWFORD
joan... forever young and always beautiful.. a hard working and talented legend
What a wonderful career, she was so talented and so underrated, love you 4ever Joan 😍😍
Her face changed so many times.. all Beautiful! I think Humoresque is her peak of Beauty 🥀💕
She looked different in every decade. I feel Mildred Pierce was the peak of her beauty, but then she looked beautiful even in her 60's.
Just love joan she us my all time favorite actress u really can't take ur eyes off of her
A lovely, sensitive tribute to Joan Crawford. My favourite actress of the Golden Age.
I didn't realize there was a funny side to Joan Crawford!!!! 😁 I laughed a few times during this video! Thank you for this!!!! ❤

thanks to all of your videos! You built some fantastic videos👍
Very well done, thank you.....:)
Both touching and sad at the same time...
That's beautiful!! Congrats and thank you!! ;-))
This is wonderful. Thank you.
My only comment/wish is that the earlier clips at the beginning were longer so that I could look at her & the title for more time etc. Great stuff.
How does Bette get praised for being one of the best actresses and people say Joan couldn't act? Its actually insane to me. They are on the same level.
Beautiful
really good, wonderful
Awww I loved it 😊💖
