The greatest flapper in the '20s, the great lady od comedy in '30s, the lady of drama in the '40s, the greatest bitch in the '50s and horro films in the '60s, Joan is my model, she is the Queen of Hollywood, the epitome of the movie star, every inch of STAR

@83survivor I totaly agree with you. I have never seen her early movies before, and it's hard for me see her this way. But i love it! Ha.

@craftiestcraftstress When I was a kid in the 40s and 50s I didn't know anything -- she just scared me. In those days you didn't see old movies. Now we can see her 20s and 30s movies, and appreciate her earlier work. Also there is strong evidence that Mommy Dearest is a lie. I'm looking forward to seeing the remake of Mildred Pierce for HBO next year, with Kate Winslett.

@Axgoodofdunemaul I read Mommy Dearest, and its actually how i came to Love Joan Crawford... Anyone with a brain could read between the lines of that book and see how Christine was spoiled little brat. I think Joan is amazing... but your entitled to your opinion.

I think the fact that she survived as long as she did in an industry that cares little for anything but the dollar proves she's got character and stamina. She was a smart lady and knew when to reinvent herself. Madonna comes to mind today. You change or you disappear.

Joan Crawford used to scare me as a kid in the 40s. Her awful clothes, hairdos, the vulgar empty sets of her movies, and her made-up face like a mask always turned me off. Even now, I have a hard time seeing her as a cute flapper. A recent biographer says Mommy Dearest is mostly a lie by her daughter Christine. Her popularity is a mystery to me.

@firefly198 she's the one dancing, same girl in the beginning with her mom, and the maid, and asking about the perfume.

i don't think her dancing is bad.

she wasn't classically trained, obviously, and was never considered a "graceful" dancer- it was her energy and wild abandon that won people over in these early days. Silly looking as it may be over 80 years later, it was this movie that made her a star, and it was this dancing scene that people remembered from this movie.
