From what you hear and read about this blessed creature, you would think she was a cruel, humorless, rude, fake person. But I believe it's all a creation of what people assume(d) in their own imaginations. Listen to the woman herself, hear her own words coming from her very mouth and realize she was a REAL and a wonderful gift to us all. You do not get this anymore. She was and still is a beautiful person no matter what slander you may read/hear. Yay Joan lol =)

@MissGarland18 Joan was a great actress and talented artist, but she was also a raging alcoholic, that is fact. Here, she seems sober so she's graceful and polite. But in the video of Joan at the Jerry Lewis Telethon where she is clearly bombed, you can tell by the way she drags Christina off stage she was a tough mother. I don't think Christina Crawford had any reason to make up the things she wrote about her mother. I believe all of them. She was a narcissist. A talented actress, but a mess.

@ttiiyy Yes, an actress who was apparently a movie"extra" or background performer. Extras don't generally become famous or well known, but have an actors equity card (a union member). There couldn't be 2 actors in the union with the same name as Joan Arden.

9:31 ...

There's a part that I did not get clearly at around 4:30. She said that there's another Joan Arden. So that's also an actress?

... sexy back then, maybe yes. But not today.

Lighting up back then was no big deal, smoking was an acceptable habit by most of the public.
