Joan Crawford interview [3 of 4]

[azula123321]

"WHAT'YA THINK ABOUT POT?" "Honey that's obviously your problem, scotch is mine." a prefect answer for a smart mouth child.

My friend, Kraig Ashley, who does drag shows in Atlanta, loves Joan! She's too heavy to do Joan in drag, though.

[jhburch1]

Classy lady. There will never be another one like her!

[thadxxx]

Awesome. The question at 8:42 about Bette Davis

[1958louief]

She is SOOOOO right. Actors should stick to ACTING!

[Shanniquitie]

awesome interview, a classroom full of gay boys around their beloved Diva

[briangorrell]

The fawning over her is fabulous.

[Shanniquitie]

@briangorrell it's like being in a cage with a gilded tiger

[janetleigh100]

"I didn't see the film" - Absolutely classic. Thats our Joan!

[SOLE2SOUL]

@janetleigh100 It's too bad Joan didn't see the film, because if she had, she could've made a comment about how the woman Olivia DeHavilland actually slapped was clearly NOT Bette Davis but a stand-in!

[cuttock]

@janetleigh100

Well said young lady!!

[LexiixoxRoxx]

"If I could have Larry Olivier" :) haha lol. I have a picture of Joan having dinner with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier.

[Shanniquitie]

"never discuss politics or religion" it's all modern actors talk about now!! politicizing hollywood was the dirtiest thing ever

[taraniso]

Uh, yes she was a centerfold girl. MGM thought they bought up all copies. I think I saw a pic in the book Hollywood Babylon. There's no doubt that its her.

[wattever333]

yes, and she was with another woman. There was also pictures of her on her broom, but not nude, only in a baby doll.

And I'm pretty sure she did not spend 9 years studying opera. If she did, it had no results. She sings well enough, but not operatically at all. And if she did, MGM would have used those skills as they did with J. Macdonald, K. Grayson, J. Powell, etc.

[ScrapNfight]

This interview makes me sick the way the audience hangs onto her every word like she's some prolific writer or something. Stupid applause after everything she says. One doesn't have to listen closely to know she's not saying much of anything except alot of hollywood P.R. B.S.

[zenguy22]

A class act all the way in this interview. People should focus on her acting tips and wisdom, rather then what she did or diden't do to her kids.

[tyjeffries]

Well at this time Mommy Dearest hadn't been written had it...and there were few if any rumours in those days about her child raising abilities. Strapping children into bed was a common practice in those days...advocated by certain 'pediatricians' as safe. She may have done this...but with the best intention. Helen Hayes at the time I believe did refer to her dubious parenting skills though, but Helen Hayes said a lot of mean things about Joan but still accepted her hospitality and free champagne

[TrumanHugh]

@tyjeffries True that "Mommie Dearest" hadn't been written before this interview--it was published in 1978, a year after Joan died, allowing her zero chance to rebut her spolied eldest daughter's accusations--but, if you listen to the first part of the series, you'll hear the interviewer (who is the man doing this interview, btw??) make mention of her having raised four children, being known as a loving mother, yet "strict disciplinarian." There were rumblings, apparently...

[amymax1035]

This is great! Thanks for posting it. So cool.

[iiiiiccccc]

9.42-9.52 i completely agree here.
