I loved that she defined a love story as a man with short hair and a woman with long hair. Not good acting or a nice story or acting...you can also tell that she has no respect for that man interviewing her. He is being kind and polite and discussing interesting things and she just interrupts like she is still a huge star. But by that te she was hardly a huge star anymore. She was obsessed with her image and fame.
George Cukor was THE director whom all the great leading ladies of the time wanted to work with. Greta knew it - Joan did as well, The "two Judy's" (Garland and Holliday!) had their greatest film triumphs with Mr. C. And, Marilyn Monroe, would insist upon having him as her director a bit later. It all added to the same thing - the brilliant "women's director" was called George Cukor.
I love watching all of Joan Crawford's old movies, especially, "The Women," "Mildred Pierce," "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane," "Grand Hotel," really, there are so many wonderful movies in which she gave wonderful performances -- I love them all!!!
I like Joan Crawford. Was she really a lesbian? I read in a book that she and Marilyn Monroe had an affair. I don't particularly believe it, but whatever floats her boat.
@nj8562 : Yes, there were rumors but all were dispelled by those who knew her well. Crawford was very critical of Monroe, and known to be an insatiable man-eater...while that too is rumored it seems to be something many who know her well have agreed to. However who the hell really knows Ms Crawford is a legend with a an alluring mystique which still today keeps the flames burning.
This is one self-absorbed woman. Notice how, right up front, she grandstands and makes it known that she was a star before Liz Taylor. At least it was decent of her to acknowledge that it was wrong of her to publically criticize Taylor's private life. But one thing she said that I absolutely agree with: "The world is so angry; I'm no Cinderella, but by golly, the world is so angry." But regardless of what kind of woman she was, she was one heck of an actress.
I understand what she's saying about the past. The sad part about these comments is that it makes the person saying them seem antiquated and out of touch, which diminishes and trivializes its truth. The way we see ourselves is the way we treat others and ourselves. Respect lives in the heart and mind. When it dies, humanity goes with it. Anger for the sake of anger becomes fashionable and anything else is laughed at.
Joan Crawford's comment about Elizabeth Taylor becoming one of the "finest actresses on the screen that I've ever seen" is accurate, in light of Taylor's performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1967) I'm not sure if Crawford's interview was after 1967? If so, then I'm sure her praise of Taylor is based on that performance. Truly, the most compelling film performance in the history of cinema. Joan's portrayal of Mildred Pierce is also great. With the right script and director..Magic!
I'm amazed that she came from humble beginnings. She carried herself with such dignity and grace, and spoke with such wonderful diction and intelligence, that it's hard to believe that she didn't have a privileged youth. She was a self-made woman, who became something grand due to her own talent and determination. I admire her greatly. <3
@bloodncorsets Amen! You hit the nail on the head. Joan Crawford had guts and great determination. She made it on raw talent. What a great actress. Even if the picture wasn't great, Joan's performance was.
She's totally wasted. I love it. Also, I do like that she apologized for throwing shade at Taylor. (Karma, as we know so infamously know, is a bitch.)
Joan aged much more gracefully than Liz Taylor....Ellizabeth Taylor looked in need of exercise and slimming down...regretfully, she looked gross and bloated, unhealthy, I'm sorry but she did, ...
@martind586 .. I still think Liz made no effort to eat less and be more active, regardless of possible hypochondria because she was lonely and losing her youth.. she always gave the impression of being falsely frail, like a great big cossetted doll...she really did not age gracefully or naturally. She could've been stunning ..but she resorted to horrific bouffanted dyed hair, and harsh eye makeup...oh well, if that's what she preferred....who am I to say otherwise?
Very nostalgic for me. I remember when people actually looked like this. And Joan was every inch a star—smart, stylish, strong and sophisticated. This clip is a refreshing break from our current world of bad manners and unrelenting grunge.
if only her ungrateful daughter hadn't written that BS book, maybe nowadays Joan Crawford would be remembered by most as a great actress and person, and not a crazy lady as depicted in the book+movie...it's very unfair because she wasn't alive when it happened, she couldn't tell her side of the story, she couldn't defend herself..cowardice much
@erikazilla - Amen!! A few people know the truth, but just those of us who care about research. People in general would rather believe the worst, which just ticks me off, frankly! That book and esp the film were fiction and camp.
What year was this interview, does anyone know? Joan is very beautiful here, i love her silver hair.
@erikazilla Her daughter spoke from a bias, but I'm not surprised that some of it was true. When she said that she quit MGM, that was a lie. If it were not for her daughter's book, we wouldn't have glimpsed that micro expression of hers that reflected contempt. "So much money to be made or lost: stars to be made or lost." was the most truthful statement that came from her own experience.
I love Joan's comment from 3:09 to 3:22. It is indeed too much an angry world today. Men should get their hair cut, and ladies let theirs grow, and bring romance back into films. The world would be so much more a beautiful and lovely place. She was so right. Unfortunately, things have never panned since Joan made this comment.
@mrshinyshoes I agree with almost everything she said except men cutting their hair. There are men who doesn't look good with short hair but cute with bangs and yet they have class & substance w/ big dicks and full of cum.
@mrshinyshoes naaw come on! That is a lot of bull crap. You cannot just show romantic films all the time because that wouldn't be sincere, you have to have diversity though.
A 'sizemologist,' Miss etrax2000, is otherwise known as a 'size-enthusiast', in other words a woman who does not allow anything under 8 inches(on the tape measure) to penetrate her parts! We can proudly confirm that we are a sizemologist as well!
@bubbam20- LIE. She was not fired. I love how people hear something and it becomes fact. While it's true MGM was trying to ease her out by giving her lousy films, she still had a contract. She was NOT fired. Show us the documentation supporting you claim, or this is just baseless garbage.
You know she was probably thinking about her daughter Christina when she was slapping Osa Massen. Joan Crawford was a self absorbed Hollywood bitch! And that LAME apology about speaking so negatively about the true queen of Hollywood (Elizabeth Taylor) was only because she was quoted in print by that other Bitch of Hollywood Hedda Hopper. If Hedda woudn't have printed what Joan said about Elizabeth, than no appology would have been made. Elizabeth Taylor was loving and gracious to everyone.
Old Hollywood had glamour...elegance...CLASS....todays "celebrities" have none of those things. They are all pure trash having landed their roles via a friend or network, but not talent, spark, charisma or even great looks. Those days of classy stars are long gone.
" If all the young men got their hair cut"...LOL, omg, such an old fashioned way of thinking...I like Joan and all, but she was definitely always "on". She did some great films though.
No ..... More ... WIRE ...... HANGERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I can't think of Joan Crawford without thinking about the book and that line.
On the positive side, and I would consider it positive, she liked sleeping with women. She met Marilyn Monroe at a party once and asked her if they could have "another go", meaning another romp in the hay. Marilyn talked to her psychiatrist about Joan and either the notes or tapes or both were released proving that happened.
She was a self-made woman. She came from nothing to become one of the biggest movie stars ever. She, like Lana Turner, never relied on a man for financial support.
She was always gracious to her fans because she knew that they put her where she was. And she aged gracefully, without plastic surgery.
Really? Correct me if I am wrong, after ending her acting career, Crawford married the CEO Pepsi Cola, Alfred Steele. Upon Steele's death, she was given a seat on the board of Pepsi, Co. To say that she made it financially without the help of a man is a misnomer, considering that she was married four times!
@fredrika27 At the time she married Alfred Steele, Pepsi was not the company it is now. As spokesperson for Pepsi, Crawford increased the sales of the company, and it could be said that Alfred married her for her star-power. While she had been married three times before, the marriages were not long-lasting nor with men who were wealthy. Joan bought her house in Brentwood with her own money and it remained her home all the time she lived in Los Angeles. She adopted three children and
I love her, she may have been a prude, self centered, egotistical woman, but that's what made her strong and fabulous! She's old Hollywood glamour indeed!
Whatever happened in Joan's personal life will be questioned forever but when she talked about Hollywood and how a star looks in front of the camera and how they should look and carry themselves when in public shows this woman had style and class and loved her fans and respected her public.
Later on in life, Joan stopped listening to her make-up people and managed herself. She looked strange with dark eye brows and no one could tell her how to look younger. Her eyes were all she wanted to accent.
@iriisblue LOL she is telling a story, she didn't say she would tell the truth, lol. The part about the director saying something to her and she burst into tears, lol yeah Joan, Sure ya did. LOL. She was a very tough lady, I doubt if she cried at all, well only for the camera.
GABLE couldn't stand Cukor. mainly because Cukor no doubt was one of Clark.s clients back when Gable was a male prostitute.. no attack... a proven Hollywood fact.
She was so right... Alot of these actors nowadays are all the same. It's rare to find an actor that stands out from the rest. There's no originality anymore and she was right to say that this world is angry.. We live in a world where people lost simplicity and lost gracefulness..the old hollywood actors had class, they stood out and their names will never be forgotten.
She screwed Marliyn monroe and had a whole string of lesbian affairs with other actresses.She was something else, and she was right about the way society was heading with the "women with short hair and men with long hair" line.Look at the feminist nightmare were living in today.
@ilovejayceon Recently released documents from Marilyns physchiatrist and tapes where she says she indeed did have a "one nighter" with Crawford and said Joan had a "monster orgasm" but Marilyn said she didnt enjoy it at all and said it only reafirmed to her that she had only interest in men not the slightest in interest in women.
@ilovejayceon Crawford was notoriously forward in her advances, her own daugher even said she would get blind drunk and try to get in to bed with the maids in her house.
She is right: you can't manufacture stars. They either have talent or don't. But the studios were great at tweaking them to make them more glamorous for the public - and at creating good PR about them.
"I still think we should go back to romantic pictures. The world is so angry. I'm no Cinderella but, by golly, the world is so angry if we could get romantic pictures back again and no angry young men and have the young men have their hair cut and the young ladies let it grow, I think we'd get back to nice human relationship again throughout the world".
Only the individual should be able to determine for themselves their own gender.
Imagine someone telling you that you are not he gender you say you are, even though you show them your genitals and then they send you away for "gender correction"
I know what you mean but it seemed like she was imposing.
I wish we could return to lades being ladies and progress to men being intelligent myself.
None of this fighting, racism, sexism, sexual discrimination of orientation.
@kiribula I just think it would be a story that would be great updated. Instead of a petty thief Angelina could be a terrorist. Up the ante a little. Throw in some special effects.....Just a thought but Joan in A Woman's Face was just BRILLIANT
Oh please Joan!! The only reason you apoligized was because you didn't realize that Louella Parson was a blabber mouth and repeated everything you had ever said about other people to them. Marilyn Monroe was another u apoligized about. Not only was she a bitch but a hypcritical one as well.
I dont doubt Joan probably was a demanding mother....and no one but daughter was present when her personal life overtook her skill, but there will be no finer actress/star to come along because there will never be a time that great actresses were given the best vehicles. If you see her body of work you will realize that she was not only beautiful, but smart as a whip. Even in this interview notice how she listens and responds without missing a beat.
@scisan60 - I agree wholeheartedly. She was a very hard-working professional and deserved every good thing she got. Regarding the problems with two of her children, well that's very unfortunate. The older I get though, the more empathy I have with her being a parent. I don't think she adopted five children with bad intentions. And those children surely did get many advantages as a result.
I love it when people wait until they get old to say " we don't have music like we used to", or "people don't look like they used to," etc. It has been said since the beginning of time. We can only admire the past and move on. Nothing stays the same. That is what makes the present more interesting. There may never be another Joan Crawford I'm sad to say, but at least we had one.
she doesn't seem like a bitch to me at all. I' sure she had her issues and perhaps she wasn't as likeable as people like their Hollywood stars to be but she's a lady.
No matter what anyone may say about her, she was a very sensitive lady...She has talked about bursting into tears on the sets of her movies and on The Lucy Show even, Lucy wasn't too pleased with Joan for being nervous and goofing up and bawled her out, and Joan left the stage and went to her dressing room and cried her eyes out over it... I love Joan and I always will =) I can def. see a side most people don't care to look for, and that makes me love her even more...

after working with Miss Ball, Miss Crawford stated one of her famous quotes - "and they call me a bitch"
Lucille Ball was a STAR in the 50s and 60s. Her contemporaries were fading and couldn't get a job. Maybe it was a little payback for the way Lucy was treated in the 40s.
You can tell..how dramatic she is..about reality and non- I get the picture she would intermix the two realities of non-reality..and when reality would hit her she over dramatiZe...it to the hill. Just my view, watching this interview.
I have always loved her(Ms Crawford) old pictures because when I was a kid growing up in Chicago, Il the local networks played her moives alot during the evenings. She had that face that the camera loved.
She is right about modern acting, although in this interview, years ago, acting and movies had not yet deteriorated into the gross state they are in today. I love classic movies. I despiise the modern stuff.

@sceptember I t hink she meant the essence that makes one a star can't be manufactured. Clearly Clark Gable or Errol Flynn were born with that special quality. Howvever, they were cast in certain r oles that create a certain image- which was manufactured. There were many actors who were manufactured and their appeal has not transitioned with time-- I think Lana Turner is a good example.
I loved that she defined a love story as a man with short hair and a woman with long hair. Not good acting or a nice story or acting...you can also tell that she has no respect for that man interviewing her. He is being kind and polite and discussing interesting things and she just interrupts like she is still a huge star. But by that te she was hardly a huge star anymore. She was obsessed with her image and fame.

Sorry, I can't think of Joan Crawford without thinking about the book and that line.
On the positive side, and I would consider it positive, she liked sleeping with women. She met Marilyn Monroe at a party once and asked her if they could have "another go", meaning another romp in the hay. Marilyn talked to her psychiatrist about Joan and either the notes or tapes or both were released proving that happened.

She was a self-made woman. She came from nothing to become one of the biggest movie stars ever. She, like Lana Turner, never relied on a man for financial support.
She was always gracious to her fans because she knew that they put her where she was. And she aged gracefully, without plastic surgery.

Really? Correct me if I am wrong, after ending her acting career, Crawford married the CEO Pepsi Cola, Alfred Steele. Upon Steele's death, she was given a seat on the board of Pepsi, Co. To say that she made it financially without the help of a man is a misnomer, considering that she was married four times!
fredrika27 10 months ago
@fredrika27 At the time she married Alfred Steele, Pepsi was not the company it is now. As spokesperson for Pepsi, Crawford increased the sales of the company, and it could be said that Alfred married her for her star-power. While she had been married three times before, the marriages were not long-lasting nor with men who were wealthy. Joan bought her house in Brentwood with her own money and it remained her home all the time she lived in Los Angeles. She adopted three children and

Whatever happened in Joan's personal life will be questioned forever but when she talked about Hollywood and how a star looks in front of the camera and how they should look and carry themselves when in public shows this woman had style and class and loved her fans and respected her public.

She was so right... Alot of these actors nowadays are all the same. It's rare to find an actor that stands out from the rest. There's no originality anymore and she was right to say that this world is angry.. We live in a world where people lost simplicity and lost gracefulness..the old hollywood actors had class, they stood out and their names will never be forgotten.

@ilovejayceon Recently released documents from Marilyns physchiatrist and tapes where she says she indeed did have a "one nighter" with Crawford and said Joan had a "monster orgasm" but Marilyn said she didnt enjoy it at all and said it only reafirmed to her that she had only interest in men not the slightest in interest in women.

@jimmy27paul Well, sexual behaviour is apparently very flexible according to todays example, therefore, Ms. Crawford was way ahead of her time.

She is right: you can't manufacture stars. They either have talent or don't. But the studios were great at tweaking them to make them more glamorous for the public - and at creating good PR about them.

Only the individual should be able to determine for themselves their own gender.
Imagine someone telling you that you are not he gender you say you are, even though you show them your genitals and then they send you away for "gender correction"
I know what you mean but it seemed like she was imposing.
I wish we could return to lades being ladies and progress to men being intelligent myself.
None of this fighting, racism, sexism, sexual discrimination of orientation.

Oh please Joan!! The only reason you apoligized was because you didn't realize that Louella Parson was a blabber mouth and repeated everything you had ever said about other people to them. Marilyn Monroe was another u apoligized about. Not only was she a bitch but a hypcritical one as well.

I dont doubt Joan probably was a demanding mother....and no one but daughter was present when her personal life overtook her skill, but there will be no finer actress/star to come along because there will never be a time that great actresses were given the best vehicles. If you see her body of work you will realize that she was not only beautiful, but smart as a whip. Even in this interview notice how she listens and responds without missing a beat.
scisan60 1 year ago
@scisan60 - I agree wholeheartedly. She was a very hard-working professional and deserved every good thing she got. Regarding the problems with two of her children, well that's very unfortunate. The older I get though, the more empathy I have with her being a parent. I don't think she adopted five children with bad intentions. And those children surely did get many advantages as a result.

I love it when people wait until they get old to say " we don't have music like we used to", or "people don't look like they used to," etc. It has been said since the beginning of time. We can only admire the past and move on. Nothing stays the same. That is what makes the present more interesting. There may never be another Joan Crawford I'm sad to say, but at least we had one.

@MissGarland18
after working with Miss Ball, Miss Crawford stated one of her famous quotes - "and they call me a bitch"
Lucille Ball was a STAR in the 50s and 60s. Her contemporaries were fading and couldn't get a job. Maybe it was a little payback for the way Lucy was treated in the 40s.

@sceptember I t hink she meant the essence that makes one a star can't be manufactured. Clearly Clark Gable or Errol Flynn were born with that special quality. Howvever, they were cast in certain r oles that create a certain image- which was manufactured. There were many actors who were manufactured and their appeal has not transitioned with time-- I think Lana Turner is a good example.
