Joan Crawford was a great actor because she was extremely talented and hardworking. I think one of the reasons her acting is so special, is that she began in silent pictures and learned that most of communication is with the face and gestures. It adds an extra richness and depth whenever she's on screen. Watch her in Baby Jane, Davis and even Madie Norman have all the juicy lines but Crawford's desperation and fear as Blanche is unmistakable and unsettling even when she doesn't say one word.
The answer is no: Hollywood threw away this beautiful, driven, imperfect creature when she became old and no longer bankable. But she lives on in the hearts of her fans where we don’t demand that she deliver millions, or demand she stay thin or demand that she be perfect- so yes Joan; We the fans still love you young and old, perfect and imperfect just the way you are
Lovely comment. And the amazing thing is that Joan may have gotten older, but she retained her looks until the very end. She never took a bad picture or looked anything less than spectacular her entire life. Who else, except perhaps those who died prematurely a la Marilyn Monroe, could ever make such a claim?
Pure class ! Rip Joan Crawford may you never be known as the defeated angel ..but a brave , strong, woman you always are and forever were and forever will be ..the roughest diamonds are the purest cut and most precious.just as exquisite ! Joan your awesome !
Sono italiano, faccio parte di un popolo con una cultura millenaria, di fronte a questi artisti americani.. in tanti casi autodidatti.. resto profondamente impressionato.. queste persone sono un dono di Dio che.. anche se criticata.. la società nordamericana ha dato i giusti meriti. Joan immensa... invidio per il privilegio di chi l'ha conosciuta e frequentata.
Probably one of the most driven women in the history of Hollywood to become a damn good successful actress. She did not allow anyone to chew on her and spit her out. Her talent was genuine.
This song fits Joan's soul so perfectly. She only craved love she never got from her parents. She achieved everything all by herself, constantly working to improve her craft, her looks, her relationships. And she never took love for granted, always feeling she had to work hard to deserve it from men, her children, her fans. It cost her a lot... If only she had a normal, loving home in her childhood. I think she would've traded all her career for that.
She had an iron will and invented herself IN SPITE of her meagre beginnings. Give the woman some credit without your armchair psychoanalysis. She wouldn't have "traded" anything. She was destined for stardom and she will always be Hollywood's earliest great beauty. Faye Dunaway and Christina Crawford be damned. Joan triumphed.
Oh please! She was a narcissist! I know how they work! She abused her first two adopted children! When she got the next two she treated them better! In the mind of a narcissist she believed, see I am a good mother, see how I take care of theses two! Her first two were the narcissist's victims!!!!!!! It is all a show! Even Bette Davis said Joan's first daughter had nothing and was living in a horrible place with nothing! What rich mother would allow their daughter to be in that situation? People live in dream world worshipping movies stars, who are most often not good people! They have their phony public face! Most can't see through it!
She was a Narcissist Deva are you for real? She also abused her children and is a poster child for why people shouldn't adopt. She was a terrible human being.
J No, actually that’s not true. You seem to have some sick need to only believe one side of a story. People often say “there are two sides to every story.” (Regarding Joan and others accused posthumously.) Well in this case there is only ONE story. Because Joan was DEAD and wasn’t able to answer. All these tell-all books are a joke and are for monetary gain and attention. They still keep being churned out, and the “writers” never have the guts to write them while the celebs are alive. Now all these books claim awful things about famous people and also make claims about their sexuality that they can’t possibly know! And it’s always when they’re DEAD. Alive? Always straight. Yep, isn’t it remarkable?! Redford- alive therefore straight! Newman - dead! Therefore he had to have had a bunch of gay flings. And countless others who’re always DEAD now. Christina’s book was the beginning of this negative nonsense. Joan had many defenders, and you don’t become a psychopath overnight . Some behavior would have shown up. Fairbanks Jr said that this claim had nothing to do with the Joan he knew. Barbara Stanwyck thought it was nonsense as did Myrna Loy. Myrna even went further! She thought Christina was awful. So did Elvis who kicked her out of his house. LOL. But y’all go ahead and hang on to this one-sided story by a bitter child who didn’t have the looks or talent she so desperately desired. Why does she keep the Crawford name if it was so horrid ? Because it’s a Cash Cow!! 🤑🤑 Oh and whoever said Joan kept Christina in poor circumstances- you don’t even know what you’re talking about. I know a heck of a lot more about her real life via biographers and experts; one preeminent expert in particular, who owns a huge treasure trove of Joan memorabilia and has interviewed hundreds of people! He’s real and I know him. So don’t even go there. You’re flat out wrong and ill-informed. Much more is to be revealed..... just wait and see. Christina lied under oath and it’s provable. That’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, too!
Joan WAS queen if Hollywood. But she was so under rated. Just something special about her. She wasn't just an actress she was JOAN!! ESPECIALLY in the early 30s. What a stunner!!!!
It would have been interesting to have been alive during Joan's reign in Hollywood. Without the social media aspect that we have now, these screen legends must have seemed even more untouchable, and our only access to them was when we actually saw them on the screen, or a magazine. There's a charm and vulnerability in her that we just don't see anymore.
I'm black,a Joan Crawford fan and I understood what they were saying. She said not for the social and political aspect of the time period. She was talking about the culture of celebrity and that actors were mysterious and seemed larger than life than now. Two different things.
Brittany Jamison she said social media darling, nothing about anything else. I too understood what she was getting at but the two things cannot be completely separated. Like a laundry list of other things, old Hollywood should always be taken with a grain of salt for POC.
Recently discovered this remarkable woman. I recall “Mommie Dearest” and wire hangers, however I had no idea it was based on a real woman. When I watched Jessica Langue’s representation of Ms. Crawford, my interest peaked. I’ve been researching her life story, her career, and her legacy. What most struck me was her resiliency to overcome and survive. She was robbed of a childhood through an emotionally and physically abusive mother, a conniving brother, and a sexually abusive step father. All from a very young age. Of course this would result in unhealthy coping mechanisms. She strove for acceptance from the world and all she got was more ridicule and abuse. She was overlooked, underestimated, and a target. She never had universal love and appreciation. Her life was marked by a series of two steps forward and three steps back. What strikes me most in regards to her talent was her ability to convey an emotion and a perspective through her eyes. Without speaking you can see the character coming alive, all through her eyes. Through all of the reinventions, highs, and lows she never achieved true contentment. She lived through a persona and mistook the fleeting love of adoration as something true. She was disappointed. Though she gave much, she died with little. I believe her answer to the question in this song would be no. I have a lot in common with her and I’ve felt that pain. I’m thankful to be able to escape the cycle and it breaks my heart that she wasn’t able to.
Beautiful talented amazing Joan Crawford was not a movie star she was a great actress. One of the best Hollywood has ever laid their eyes on And Hollywood knows it too.
Joan Crawford had something that no other actor or actress had. I’m not sure what it was, but every time she was on screen you couldn’t help but look at her!
Joan was totally dedicated to her art. She prepared hard, she worked hard, she was constantly self-improving. Though on the screen she looks dauntingly strong and in the stratosphere, in real life she was one of the friendliest and most social people in Hollywood. Her friends included not only great stars, but character actors, technical people and people she simply liked. When she walked on a set she knew the name of every person working on set, lighting and sound. Barbara Stanwyk was known for the same earthbound sensibility combined with God-like talent.
That's true! Joan had the most respect and genuine care for the others. Unlike Davis who, despite her great talent, was known to be often rude and arrogant to her co-workers. Joan always wrote back to her fans, not only that - she would always remember their birthdays and basically treated them like her family. She financed many medical treatments and kept helping people in need. And she never talked much about it.
@@Deva7 perhaps, but Bette Davis was not in the league as Joan. I love them both, but Crawford was old Hollywood glamour. Davis was almost blue collar in her demeanor, and I admire that. There was nothing like the black and white movies of the 30's and 40's.
@@Deva7 Joan kept her fan popularity because she treated them far better than she treated her first two adoptive children: she let them keep just one gift at birthdays and Christmas; kept Christina stranded alone at boarding school the entire month of Christmas holidays; and when Christopher was grown, a father, and asked Joan for money to pay for his seriously sick baby's medical treatment, Joan refused, saying that's not my grandchild. Her largesse was for public display.
@@JudgeJulieLit Oh, the horrors of taking gifts away from the brats. How much torture they must have had to go through because they were not spoiled and taught to appreciate what they had. Christopher called Joan a bitch on the phone and had already drained her dry from her money. If someone insults me and then asks me for stuff later, even I'd tell them to screw themselves.
Joan was breathtakingly beautiful and an amazing actress. She really was a remarkable lady. Such a pity her legacy has been tarnished for many by the lies Christina wrote about her. The twins Cathy and Cindy ,totally dispute what Christina wrote and said Joan was a wonderful mother and grandmother. As did many people, friends and colleagues who knew her for decades. She actually was very caring and loyal. I only became aware of her after her passing as I was born in 1970. My grandmother was a fan and I saw Mildred Pierce and Humoresque when I was 10 and became hooked. Joan remained beautiful until the end. Thank you for putting together this beautiful tribute to this amazing lady. Such a pity that she became reclusive after her 1974 Townhall appearance where unflattering photographs were published. If you actually look at some of the pictures, she was still an incredibly beautiful and striking woman. If only she had lived longer. She would have been phenomenal in a 1980’s super soap. Would have been perfect playing the role of Alexis’s mother on Dynasty. RIP lovely lady, many of us still treasure your memory.
Joan thought no one would love her when she was "no longer young and beautiful" that is why she fought to maintain her beauty little did she know she was loved by many even though the people closest to her didn't
Joan Crawford died when I was 17 and yet I have the biggest celebrity crush on her. I’ve seen at least half of her 80 films and in my opinion there has never been a more beautiful and drop dead sexy woman to grace the silver screen. When I watch her 1930s films my heart literally pounds through my chest. Mesmerizing, captivating and raw sexuality! Oh and by the way a great actor!
bought a box-set containing four of Joans Films - Humoresque, Possessed, The Damned Don't Cry, Grand Hotel and Mildred Pierce. Such a beautiful mysterious and talented woman
That is perfect song that describes ms. Crawford. I still wonder of why she have been so strict thinking she won't be needed in older age. Hollywood was cruel, not her.
Love this, and a perfect song choice. Although she would never have admitted it, I bet a lot of Bette Davis' resentment of Joan had to do with Joan's captivating beauty--something Bette, as great as she was--never had.
Bette never considered herself beautiful, and yes, she was jealous of Joan - ever since Franchot Tone fell madly in love and married Joan. Bette loved him and til the end of her days couldn't get over it.
Chris N I disagree. I was not alive during their popularity. I've become more interested in the old movies then todays garbage. I thought Betty Davis was very attractive in her early days as well. Neither one of them were attractive when they reached their later forties.
Timeless beauty, to the end. So sorry for what she endured as a child and that the generational trauma continued to her first two adopted children. They all deserved better.
This is my favorite video tribute that I have ever seen on youtube. This song perfectly encapsulates Joan's spirit and drive. She started her career during the roaring 20's which is a great coincidence since this song was made for the film "The Great Gatsby", an accidental homage to her being the "quintessential flapper girl". She is such a remarkable woman, she was able to go through so many iconic decades in her career. I hope wherever she may be.. That she knows how loved and adored she is still to this day.. The eternal woman, Joan Crawford. ❤🔥
So well done! Bravo! I'll never forget sitting in the stands at the Academy Awards in 1969. When Joan Crawford walked by, the crowd was stunned. She was elegant, regal and beautiful. Someone yelled, "We love you, Joan!" and she smiled. The crowd went wild. What a moment!
She is mesmerizing. I can’t stop watching her. I rewind constantly when she is in a scene, and I have a hard time watching the other actors. She’s just that magnetic! Her beauty is haunting... her soul is bare and open and her laughter and smile are truly infectious. I have to smile, when she does! It can’t be helped! She helps me to feel my feelings..
I think this really captures Joan’s obsession with her appearance and mental illness over the years. She was stunningly beautiful, and when thought she had began to lose that, (although I never thought she did) it broke her. Beautiful video, and the song is perfect for Lucille LeSeur, Joan Crawford.
MAGICAL ----- "We didn't need Dialogue --- We had Faces then." --------- Awesome. " I never go outside, unless I look like Joan Crawford the Movie STAR. If you want to see the girl next door ------- go next door." JC
I've always preferred Bette Davis, whom I thought the greater actress. However, whenever I see a Crawford film, I cannot take my eyes off her for a minute. That lady (and I use the term very loosely) certainly had a face that refuses to be forgotten ---- and in the right role, she was pure electricity.
Bette Davis overacts and it is easy to say initially that she is “greater” because it’s so over-the-top, and she did have talent. But I think that Joan is way more understated and subtle, PLUS she is also incredibly powerful. She just isn’t theatrical at all . Guess it’s a matter of taste but I don’t go in for the very theatrical types. I prefer the more natural style. Joan was unearthly beautiful and interesting and cute too!! Bette was not that! Bette is not a good listener as an actress; she is always trying to upstage and “work up” something. It’s a bit tiresome but can be fun. I’m for Joan all the way, though. She is absolutely mesmerizing....
@@beckylink - Bette Davis also had the good luck to get many, many better roles than Joan Crawford did, especially after she won her two Oscars: Of Human Bondage, Dangerous, Jezabel, Juarez, Elizabeth and Essex, Dark Victory, The Letter,The Little Foxes, Now, Voyager. The Old Maid, Watch on the Rhine, Mr. Skeffington, The Corn is Green, A Stolen Life, All About Eve, The Star, The Virgin Queen, The Catered Affair, Baby Jane, etc. Crawford insisted on always looking like "Crawford" and looking like a "star". Davis never cared how she appeared as long as it was keeping with the character. Yes, she was sometimes "over the top" but she won acclaim for roles that Crawford would have never been able to undertake, especially Queen Elizabeth, old maids, school teachers, aged women, etc. Davis played them all.
Larry Mitchell I don’t care for Jezebel at all. It’s a poor man’s GWTW, and is simply bad. Her accent is laughable. I’m a Southerner and I’ll admit that it’s a hard accent to do but c’mon !! And Henry Fonda is a vanilla wafer in that film. I don’t even like All About Eve or most of her films. Now, Voyager is pretty good. The Letter is the best one of all, imo. Also like The Great Lie. But I love Joan’s films more all the way. She conveys a sense of fun and yet has gravitas at the same time. Bette is heavy-handed and I don’t feel the fun, or see the twinkle in her eye. She’s a force of nature, but so is Joan. I just prefer Joan. So many even going back to her silent gems and her early films such as Dancing Lady, Sadie McKee, Possessed 31 (and 47), Mannequin, The Bride Wore Red (so underrated and magical!) to her transformation to The Women, A Woman’s Face, Mildred Pierce, Humoresque, and the list goes on... most were indeed very good productions with great writers and scores. 😄🌟💫 Her beauty is mesmerizing. I can’t take my eyes off her for a second. And I have to rewind to see her smile or her eyes. She’s just beautiful !!!
Larry Mitchell My phone wouldn’t let me read the rest of your comment until I updated it! I have to disagree about some of those movies you hold up as so great . Mr Skeffington is horrid!!! Her accent and high pitched way of “affecting” the character is just intolerable. The Catered Affair ?! Really?? Davis is always Bette Davis. Not always the character. She’s Bette playing so-and-so. Her whole way of acting is so over the top that all the “characters” run together. Joan is more subtle. She’s glorious. I used to love Bette Davis when I was young but I just see all the wheels turning now. Joan was a beauty so their roles were naturally different but Sudden Fear is hardly about Joan’s looks. Even in Straight-Jacket , she is hilarious and terrifying. I do like Bette in The Corn is Green. One of her more understated performances. I can’t even possibly name all of Crawford’s from the 30s that I LOVE ... it would take all day. 😆
Absolutely wonderful ! Joan Crawford was so talented & beautiful and it would be nice to know she knew how loved she was by so many . God Bless you Ms Crawford !
It's not that they threw her away. MGM just have her bad scripts, so she moved to Warner Bros. Clever move, and better scripts. Bette Davis tried to imply that Joan was only a movie star, and not an actress. However that came out of jealousy.
This video is perfect! Most people only remember Joan for negative things but she was a tormented soul and a true talent and should be remembered for so much more than negativity. I will always love Joan. Thank you for this amazing upload❤
Hats 👒 🎩 off to whoever made this beautiful video. Joan Crawford would have been proud 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 We have seen almost every single one of her movies and watched numerous interviews on Crawford!!! She was an amazing Hollywood Film Actress and your music video really captured the essence of her beauty and love of the camera. The Music matched up well and was timed with every scene. Bravo!!! I love watching this video of a Young Joan Crawford dancing effortlessly with Clark Gable was a true reminder to her glamor. We are now a subscriber to your page job well done!!!
That video is absolutely beautiful! One couldn't make a more perfect video for Joan Crawford of that song. It really is incredible work that you did there - thank you!

always liked her as an actress
She was also a bookkeeper or plumber?
Joan Crawford was a great actor because she was extremely talented and hardworking. I think one of the reasons her acting is so special, is that she began in silent pictures and learned that most of communication is with the face and gestures. It adds an extra richness and depth whenever she's on screen.

I like this video and I like people know she was a great actress and one of the first starlet and not just see mommies dearest movie.
Yes!! What a beautiful woman and a True STAR❤❤❤
Yes, I agree. ❤
She’s a true star love her
I don't know what it is about her, she's enchanting. I love her.
She is just wow
This song fits Joan's soul so perfectly. She only craved love she never got from her parents. She achieved everything all by herself, constantly working to improve her craft, her looks, her relationships. And she never took love for granted, always feeling she had to work hard to deserve it from men, her children, her fans. It cost her a lot... If only she had a normal, loving home in her childhood.

She had an iron will and invented herself IN SPITE of her meagre beginnings. Give the woman some credit without your armchair psychoanalysis. She wouldn't have "traded" anything. She was destined for stardom and she will always be Hollywood's earliest great beauty.
Faye Dunaway and Christina Crawford be damned. Joan triumphed.
Oh please! She was a narcissist! I know how they work! She abused her first two adopted children! When she got the next two she treated them better! In the mind of a narcissist she believed, see I am a good mother, see how I take care of theses two! Her first two were the narcissist's victims!!!!!!! It is all a show!

Elizabeth Anderson You weren’t there!!
She was a Narcissist Deva are you for real? She also abused her children and is a poster child for why people shouldn't adopt. She was a terrible human being.
J No, actually that’s not true. You seem to have some sick need to only believe one side of a story. People often say “there are two sides to every story.” (Regarding Joan and others accused posthumously.) Well in this case there is only ONE story. Because Joan was DEAD and wasn’t able to answer. All these tell-all books are a joke and are for monetary gain and attention. They still keep being churned out, and the “writers” never have the guts to write them while the celebs are alive. Now all these books claim awful things about famous people and also make claims about their sexuality that they can’t possibly know! And it’s always when they’re DEAD. Alive? Always straight. Yep, isn’t it remarkable?! Redford- alive therefore straight! Newman - dead! Therefore he had to have had a bunch of gay flings. And countless others who’re always DEAD now. Christina’s book was the beginning of this negative nonsense. Joan had many defenders, and you don’t become a psychopath overnight . Some behavior would have shown up. Fairbanks Jr said that this claim had nothing to do with the Joan he knew. Barbara Stanwyck thought it was nonsense as did Myrna Loy. Myrna even went further! She thought Christina was awful. So did Elvis who kicked her out of his house. LOL. But y’all go ahead and hang on to this one-sided story by a bitter child who didn’t have the looks or talent she so desperately desired. Why does she keep the Crawford name if it was so horrid ? Because it’s a Cash Cow!! 🤑🤑 Oh and whoever said Joan kept Christina in poor circumstances- you don’t even know what you’re talking about. I know a heck of a lot more about her real life via biographers and experts; one preeminent expert in particular, who owns a huge treasure trove of Joan memorabilia and has interviewed hundreds of people! He’s real and I know him. So don’t even go there. You’re flat out wrong and ill-informed. Much more is to be revealed..... just wait and see. Christina lied under oath and it’s provable.

Joan and Clark were pure magic together...their chemistry was bewitching! This song is perfection and very fitting!
She was stunning.
Joan was always beautiful and is still loved by her many fans. She was a phenomenal actress RIP lovely lady
That is perfect song that describes ms. Crawford. I still wonder of why she have been so strict thinking she won't be needed in older age. Hollywood was cruel, not her.
Love this, and a perfect song choice. Although she would never have admitted it, I bet a lot of Bette Davis' resentment of Joan had to do with Joan's captivating beauty--something Bette, as great as she was--never had.
Bette never considered herself beautiful, and yes, she was jealous of Joan - ever since Franchot Tone fell madly in love and married Joan. Bette loved him and til the end of her days couldn't get over it.
Bette Davis openly said how beautiful Joan was and said she respected her talent.
Chris N I disagree. I was not alive during their popularity. I've become more interested in the old movies then todays garbage. I thought Betty Davis was very attractive in her early days as well. Neither one of them were attractive when they reached their later forties.

Will love you forever Ms Crawford !
There’s just something about her. She’s so lovely 💕
Absolutely beautiful. Joan will stay forever young and beautiful.
Overwhelmingly beautiful.
Timeless beauty, to the end. So sorry for what she endured as a child and that the generational trauma continued to her first two adopted children. They all deserved better.
I would have merry you Joan, you are so beautiful still and greatest actor ever!
Joan was a screen Goddess and will forever be worshipped by her loving fans .
You change the sound and suddenly the acting seems so modern and realistic, thats sooo cool!
nice editing, thanks
So the 1920's and 30's was really her time. By the 40's is when she started aging to Joan we knew/know now.
Fascinating...
Gable brought out Joan’s sexiness!
This is my favorite video tribute that I have ever seen on youtube. This song perfectly encapsulates Joan's spirit and drive. She started her career during the roaring 20's which is a great coincidence since this song was made for the film "The Great Gatsby", an accidental homage to her being the "quintessential flapper girl". She is such a remarkable woman, she was able to go through so many iconic decades in her career. I hope wherever she may be.. That she knows how loved and adored she is still to this day.. The eternal woman, Joan Crawford. ❤🔥
So well done! Bravo! I'll never forget sitting in the stands at the Academy Awards in 1969. When Joan Crawford walked by, the crowd was stunned. She was elegant, regal and beautiful. Someone yelled, "We love you, Joan!" and she smiled. The crowd went wild. What a moment!
That is an awesome memory. Thanks for sharing it. 🤩🤩
joan would've loved this song
This video is absolutely wonderful. And yes, there is something magical about Joan Crawford.

George Hurrell was quoted as saying "Joan had no bad angles. The camera made love to her face". He was right.
She is mesmerizing. I can’t stop watching her. I rewind constantly when she is in a scene, and I have a hard time watching the other actors. She’s just that magnetic! Her beauty is haunting... her soul is bare and open and her laughter and smile are truly infectious. I have to smile, when she does! It can’t be helped! She helps me to feel my feelings..
I think this really captures Joan’s obsession with her appearance and mental illness over the years. She was stunningly beautiful, and when thought she had began to lose that, (although I never thought she did) it broke her. Beautiful video, and the song is perfect for Lucille LeSeur, Joan Crawford.
This is one of those rare videos that possess a beautiful yet haunting quality
She was ALL❤❤❤❤
She was absolutely fucking stunning. My God.
MAGICAL ----- "We didn't need Dialogue --- We had Faces then." --------- Awesome.
" I never go outside, unless I look like Joan Crawford the Movie STAR. If you want to see the girl next door ------- go next door." JC
Canción homenaje, perfecta para la reina CRAWFORD. Como anillo a la medida... . Salve a la Reina JOAN...
Exactamente.
What an amazing video, 2.50 Mins of pure art
I love this video. It makes me sad for some reason.
Haunting. Love Joan!
I've always preferred Bette Davis, whom I thought the greater actress. However, whenever I see a Crawford film, I cannot take my eyes off her for a minute. That lady (and I use the term very loosely) certainly had a face that refuses to be forgotten ---- and in the right role, she was pure electricity.
Davis was a character, not pretty. Joan was an actress and stunningly beautiful. Even Davis admitted that.
Bette Davis overacts and it is easy to say initially that she is “greater” because it’s so over-the-top, and she did have talent. But I think that Joan is way more understated and subtle, PLUS she is also incredibly powerful. She just isn’t theatrical at all . Guess it’s a matter of taste but I don’t go in for the very theatrical types. I prefer the more natural style.
Joan was unearthly beautiful and interesting and cute too!! Bette was not that! Bette is not a good listener as an actress; she is always trying to upstage and “work up” something. It’s a bit tiresome but can be fun.
I’m for Joan all the way, though. She is absolutely mesmerizing....
@@beckylink - Bette Davis also had the good luck to get many, many better roles than Joan Crawford did, especially after she won her two Oscars: Of Human Bondage, Dangerous, Jezabel, Juarez, Elizabeth and Essex, Dark Victory, The Letter,The Little Foxes, Now, Voyager. The Old Maid, Watch on the Rhine, Mr. Skeffington, The Corn is Green, A Stolen Life, All About Eve, The Star, The Virgin Queen, The Catered Affair, Baby Jane, etc.
Crawford insisted on always looking like "Crawford" and looking like a "star". Davis never cared how she appeared as long as it was keeping with the character. Yes, she was sometimes "over the top" but she won acclaim for roles that Crawford would have never been able to undertake, especially Queen Elizabeth, old maids, school teachers, aged women, etc. Davis played them all.
Larry Mitchell I don’t care for Jezebel at all. It’s a poor man’s GWTW, and is simply bad. Her accent is laughable. I’m a Southerner and I’ll admit that it’s a hard accent to do but c’mon !! And Henry Fonda is a vanilla wafer in that film.
I don’t even like All About Eve or most of her films. Now, Voyager is pretty good. The Letter is the best one of all, imo. Also like The Great Lie. But I love Joan’s films more all the way. She conveys a sense of fun and yet has gravitas at the same time. Bette is heavy-handed and I don’t feel the fun, or see the twinkle in her eye. She’s a force of nature, but so is Joan. I just prefer Joan. So many even going back to her silent gems and her early films such as Dancing Lady, Sadie McKee, Possessed 31 (and 47), Mannequin, The Bride Wore Red (so underrated and magical!) to her transformation to The Women, A Woman’s Face, Mildred Pierce, Humoresque, and the list goes on... most were indeed very good productions with great writers and scores. 😄🌟💫 Her beauty is mesmerizing. I can’t take my eyes off her for a second. And I have to rewind to see her smile or her eyes. She’s just beautiful !!!
Larry Mitchell My phone wouldn’t let me read the rest of your comment until I updated it! I have to disagree about some of those movies you hold up as so great . Mr Skeffington is horrid!!! Her accent and high pitched way of “affecting” the character is just intolerable. The Catered Affair ?! Really?? Davis is always Bette Davis. Not always the character. She’s Bette playing so-and-so. Her whole way of acting is so over the top that all the “characters” run together. Joan is more subtle. She’s glorious. I used to love Bette Davis when I was young but I just see all the wheels turning now. Joan was a beauty so their roles were naturally different but Sudden Fear is hardly about Joan’s looks. Even in Straight-Jacket , she is hilarious and terrifying. I do like Bette in The Corn is Green. One of her more understated performances. I can’t even possibly name all of Crawford’s from the 30s that I LOVE ... it would take all day. 😆
Yes. We still love you.
Everyone must bow to the all time queen of Hollywood, Miss Joan Crawford!
She was middle aged in many of these clips stunning
She was the best actress of all !!!
My God!! She was beautiful!! I know people go on about Bette's eyes but Joan had some sultry eyes also!!
Joan was all sexy
This presents Ms.Crawford in a way that she should be remembered!!
SO BEAUTIFUL @ 1:27/1:28 .. Even in the scenes without makeup she was a resplendent classic beauty.
Absolutely wonderful ! Joan Crawford was so talented & beautiful and it would be nice to know she knew how loved she was by so many . God Bless you Ms Crawford !
thank you , magnetic and magic shining star , a face made for what you just did with it , beautiful stunning Joan , great job you did .
so stunning , Joan was so beautiful.
thank you for making this video.
A great and dignified tribute to a amazing Actress. May you rest in Peace Joan....
It’s so sad how Hollywood threw her away when she was no longer young - but she was always beautiful. They could not take that from her.
It's not that they threw her away. MGM just have her bad scripts, so she moved to Warner Bros. Clever move, and better scripts. Bette Davis tried to imply that Joan was only a movie star, and not an actress. However that came out of jealousy.
I can't think of a more perfect song for this tribute!
This video is perfect! Most people only remember Joan for negative things but she was a tormented soul and a true talent and should be remembered for so much more than negativity. I will always love Joan. Thank you for this amazing upload❤
The shot at :31 is absolutely stunning....her eyes Pierce you through the screenAnd the shot at 1:31 was equally stunning #ilovejoan4eva
I love you for doing this.
LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE WAS.
Absolute QUEEN of Hollywood
How older she got, more beautiful she‘s got. I‘m still in mourning.
Perfect Lana Del Rey song for this video

Whoo...that was beautiful and intense.
this made me cry
Bette and Joan were very popular in Spain and Latinamerica inmensly..today no cinematic actress is such popularity
The most fabulous edit of Joan Crawford I've ever seen.
Hats 👒 🎩 off to whoever made this beautiful video. Joan Crawford would have been proud 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 We have seen almost every single one of her movies and watched numerous interviews on Crawford!!! She was an amazing Hollywood Film Actress and your music video really captured the essence of her beauty and love of the camera. The Music matched up well and was timed with every scene. Bravo!!! I love watching this video of a Young Joan Crawford dancing effortlessly with Clark Gable was a true reminder to her glamor. We are now a subscriber to your page job well done!!!
CLARK AND JOAN WAS SOO IN LOVE
I love Her too
Whoever made this did a great job - for many reasons. Hollywood is so youth orientated, especially during the time of Her Highness.
Qué guapo era Clarck Gable! Y Joan Crawford también era muy guapa, pero sobre todo, los rostros de antes eran especiales.
That video is absolutely beautiful! One couldn't make a more perfect video for Joan Crawford of that song. It really is incredible work that you did there - thank you!
With you Jenny 👌
