Miss Crawford was the Queen of Hollywood, she is the epitome of the movie star, a superstar!

Nowadays everything is dreadful, today actresses are dreadful, they look and behave like men !

These ladies of the silver screen were all as tough as old boots - they had to be, when dealing with people like Mayer and Warner. Dont judge them by the standards of today

She was at her peak and she had Gable!

She sounds a little like Helen Morgan here.

@mysarcasmhurts "though love go past". I have the sheet music and play it on the piano often.

@Rouben19 It wasn't "faux British". Quality, well-born society people on Beacon Hill in Boston and in New York come by it generationally and it's still used. You need to do your research.

@VTMCompany Yes. The lovely "Fifth Avenue/Boston Brahmin" accent of earlier times .. It's about as close to The Queen's English as we come in the States. That Joan mastered that accent and made it hers is a testament to her talent, intelligence, and perseverence. Joan (Lucille LeSueur/Billy Cassin) will always have my respect and admiration for pulling herself out of that "cowtown" in Texas and taking herself to the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom. She is the American dream.

@paulj0557 I like Stanwyck too but I soured on her when I found she betrayed Joan late in life. She certainly like Joan well enough when they had their torrid affair in the 30s and 40s. No one even came close to Crawford's flawless beauty.

[Shubael1809]

Joan Crawford in her heyday (in this scene) was the most beautiful creature ever to grace this earth. Look at the perfection of that face. George Hurrell said "she had no bad angles.. Joan adored the camera and it adored her". True enough.

ive always thought her singing was really excellent. every register of her voice was nice, her musicianship was perfect.

had she invested in it she could have been a singer

i mean look at Marlene Dietrich, who is my favorite star

[paulj0557]

I love Joan Crawford. Flawless beauty and flawless soul. However, I am a Stanwyck freak who would like to think of her as a queen of the early talkies because of her open contract status. She was given this independence while most of the other famous actresses were tied to contracts with one studio. I also think that the freedom she had made her ambiguous at award time.

Only as a point of fact there was only one official Queen of the Screen by a special vote from a particular orginasation, late '30s. Myrna Loy....... Clark Gable was her King. From that time on Clark referred to Myrna as Queenie. They having made numerous films together and being good friends. BTW....Myrna and Joan were best friends from the silent screen days and when Joan and Myrna were together in the chorus at Graumen's Chinese Theatre in the 20's.
