Joan Blondell - High-spirited gal

This is my tribute to one of the most enchanting celebrities ever, whose heyday took place in the '30s, my most favorite decade when it comes to movies. Joan Blondell (1906 - 1979) was one of those actresses who always lighted up the screens, and not only because of her blonde hair and beautiful big-blue eyes, but also because of her marvelous talent for comedy and drama, as well as her vivacious attitude and huge charisma. It's a pity that she never reached the true stardom she deserved for many reasons. She was truly a hard-working girl and one of the biggest symbols of the Warner Brothers Studios during the Great Depression years.

Thank you, dear Joan, for having shared with us your marvelous talent and that gorgeous smile of yours! You were a remarkable lady and your amazing legacy lives on.

Love Joan Blondell. One of the people we interviewed for "Queer Icon: The Cult of Bette Davis" wrote a biography of Joan.

Glad to know that! I love her too! I remember I've read that Joan Blondell was one of Bette's best friends since her early days at Warner Brothers. That makes me so glad, as she seemed to be such a nice and friendly person to be with! I would certainly love to read that book.
