Actress Jocelyn Brando dies at 86
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - Actress Jocelyn Brando, who appeared in more
than a dozen films including two with her younger brother, Marlon, has died.
She was 86.
Brando, whose married surname was Pennebaker, died Sunday of natural causes
at her Santa Monica home, said her son, Martin Asinof of Tillamook, Ore.
Brando, who often defended and praised her better-known and controversial
brother, made her Broadway splash in the late 1940s as the leading nurse in
Mister Roberts.
She appeared in more than a dozen major motion pictures, beginning with
Fritz Lang's The Big Heat with Glenn Ford in 1953 and ending with Mommie
Dearest, which starred Faye Dunaway as mercurial actress Joan Crawford in
1981.
Brando appeared with her brother in two mid-1960s releases, The Ugly
American and The Chase.
She also appeared in more than 50 television programs, including Alfred
Hitchcock Presents, The Virginian, Little House on the Prairie and Kojak,
and had a recurring role as Mrs. Reeves in episodes of Dallas.
In a 1953 interview with the Los Angeles Times, she described her brother as
a sweet, hardworking man.
"I asked him for a tip about pictures, and he answered, 'Oh, I just say the
words. That's all I know about picture acting.' He probably was smart at
that to let me find my own way," she said.
She was at her brother's side when he died at 80 of lung failure in Los
Angeles on July 1, 2004.

i don't know why people have such an image of her. i think she does
have a big ego but if she didn't she wouldn't be julia roberts. she's
be a houseweife in smyrna. and i do think she is a control freak and a
bitch for the way she treated danny's ex BUT...i don't see her as a bad
mother. you saw one picture of the nanny holding her kid and she's
mommy dearest? i think julai is pretty low-key for such a huge
superstar. i see pics of her in the new york papers all the time
shopping at home depot looking like a bum. and she doesn't seem to be
chasing movie roles these days now that she's become a mother.
if anyone is a cold mother, i'd guess nicole kidman. she's always off
doing movies and anyone who would allow crazy cruise to have that much
control over her kids (kids that she acquired as props for him) is not
such a great mother, IMO.

>"Mom has told me Mom wants >to talk about the kids. "Mom >doesn't want Uncle talking >about the kids."
Cuz Mom's a control freak who only had the children so she could brag
about them to the media. Don't you know that about your sister Eric?
Wasn't all the years of her frost towards you for no apparent reason a
hint that she's a psycho?
I'll never forget all those pictures of nanny Marva carrying the kids
while horse-mouth just walks ahead of them. She's going to be a bad
Mom, I can already feel it. She's VERY cold...I'm thinking she might be
a Joan Crawford wire-hanger-type of Mom. Maybe little Hazel will write
a book one day.

I remember seeing a documentary once and a very close female friend of
Marilyn's said it simply could not have been suicide because Marilyn
would never have killed herself naked and without full make-up. She
would never let herself be found that way. I'm not a big fan of
conspiracy theories but that ran true. Sometimes the anwser is right in
front of our faces.

Steve:
Which is why Tom Cruise should play Joan Crawford in the upcoming remake of
"Mommie Dearest".
There is a scene in which Joan (Tom) gets to say "I battled bigger monsters
than you in Hollywood for your years. Don't fuck with me boys".
It could be income related.

Regardless it was several billion and Ms. Helmsley's INCOME TAX for 1989
alone is more than Tom Cruise's total worth. Tom Cruise, reminds me of Joan
Crawford and I think I predicted about one year ago that he would be
selected to play Joan Crawford in the remake of Mommie Dearest and everyone

passed the hollywod and london frosted and glassed assortment of
flibberdy-gibbet females like Meg Ryan to marry a woman he'd known and loved
for years who loved Russell for himself. The only other woman who seemed
real and down to earth that he dated was Jodie Foster and while Jodie
ocassionally walks on one side of the street, she's happier on the other.
Too bad I've had several really good friendships that sometimes because
sexual--yeah, yeah with me dominant, I can't help it, though brutalized as a
child I'm strictly an alpha male--and in ana odd way it was very nice. Well
adjusted Lesbian' who ocassionaly dabble on the straight path are a lot of
fun and can be sweet and girl but don't freak out as easily if you get
distracted by a passing pretty lady because they are interested too. Also
whil a lot of straight women can do guy stuff, fixing motorcycles and
getting on horseback and going aone a camping trip in the desert or
prospecting in the mountains I've had several Lesbain friends who were real
buds, and who's competitive instinct made them keep up with you even when a
lot o guys wuss out. I've known a few straight women like that, sort of like
Lud in Giant played by the great Mercedes MacCambridge whose affair with
James Dean's Jett Rink was only hinted at inm a fifties film unable to deal
with a harder older woman character in love with a handsome low class
younger man. Just imagine the amazing scenes they could have done.
MacCambridge radiated a tough sexuality that in simple minds mind seem
merely Lesbian but which was raw and real. Just watch her as Sadie the
cynical campigin cordinator in love with brute corrupt Huey Long style
southern politician in Robert Rossen's great "All the Kings Men". There a
wonderful implicit scene when shes brushing her hair after having bedded
Willie Stark after she has taunted him to get drunk. And the scenes when she
sees WIllie with a showgirl on each knee and she's cursring, Kill him, I'll
kill" protray a more real female in loved than most of the smarmy efforts
by glamourous actresses of even today who'se featherweight sexuality is a
bad pparody of something rightout of the Playmate trainging school. And for
Lesbian Tension, Her battle and visual and verballly tense exhanges In
Nicholas Ray's Johnny Guitar between Bi-lady Joan Crawford and the
heterosexual Ms. MacCambridge were some of the most implicitly sexual
moments on screen even the men were like icons for the kind of men who might
tempt and ocassional fling with a man, The amazing physical presense of
Sterling Haayden, the first real teenage delinquent homo-erotic male Turkey
and the various slick pimp ttypes and slick wavy haired good-bad guys were
like every coded sexual underground type right up there in beautiful
technicolor. And the gunfight shoot out between Crawford and MacCambridge is
one of the best western gunfights on film. I only wish they'd made more
female character centered pulp western stories. There were a few others but
not many and none with the weirdly dynamic energy and semi-camp set design
of Johnny Guitar. Lately we'v had some, that thing with Andy MacDowell and
Drew Barrymore as bank robbers, but the was painfully formulaic, and
the thing with Linda Farentino which would have been better if she'd worked
out and built up her strength enough so it wouldn't show that when she was
trying to point the gun that it wasing awavering in the air because it was
so heavy that she was struggling to balance it when she aimed. Even Kim
Darby in true Grit managed to handle that terriblly heavy ball firing 44-50?
caliber pistol which had been her fathers, with more authenticity. Then
there was that Sharon Stone thing, which I liked dispite it's improbably
overtensed somewhat repetive which was like one high noon gun fight
scene after another, but Sharon was strong and believable at least, (I'd
love to see her play Belle Starr or Clamity Jane) and while I liked Little
Joe with the beautiful Susie Amis, the cross-dressing sexual politics
weighted it down in a way that could have been avoided if someone had
delivered a western first with political overtones secondary. If your
going to rob The Major and The Minor Or that other movie With Katherine
Hepburn dressed as a boy, like Victor Victoria did or Yenty even better you
have to do it with delicate skill and care.
I really like the modern Western, Thelma and Louise, I don't know but
I'm assuming Kallie Khoury wrote her as an adventure first, and let
the politics fall where they may (with a lot, especially the ending owed to
that guy--who was it, director George Roy Hill?--who wrote the for
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.)
They keep trying but Westerns are gone for good. Though I'm clinging to
my hope of a good Belle Star with Sharon Stone and someone cool as Cole
Younger and someone cool as (was it Charlie) Star in the great deadly
western love triangle with Belle at the center. The scenes in Long Riders
with Cole and Belle and Charlie Star were classics even with an Apache knife
fight scene. Apache knife fighting being one of my recent martial arts
fixations since I completed two years study of Brazilian knife fighting
techniques.
Ok, so I digress. But I do it quite well, you must admit.

What do you expect? Not only does he not know what a hot woman looks like,
he also would have no idea what to do with one if she came on to him. Let's
not forget, Quasidmodo worships Barbra Streisand, Liza Minelli, Diana Ross,
Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, and Mariah Carey, and pretends
to be them in front of a mirror every day, holding a brush that he pretends
is his microphone, and says: "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Demille." Maybe
dad should've taken him to a few more football games and less viewings of
The Wizard of Oz.

Mommy dearest
April 18, 2005
BY LUCIO GUERRERO Staff Reporter
Britney Spears and motherhood -- not exactly the first combination that
comes to mind when you think of the pop princess. But after her official
announcement last week that she is expecting her first child, Britney is
going to be under the microscope as people try to figure out what kind of
mother she'll be.
Will she be Joan Crawford -- not the wire hanger! -- or
model-turned-mothering-guru Cindy Crawford?
One thing is for sure: She is going to be a Slave 4 the Baby.
"Parenting can change anyone," said Janet Chan, editor of Parenting
magazine. "Parenting is hard work and it's frustrating and it's scary and
it's wonderful every step of the way."
Chan said she hopes Spears surrounds herself with a good support group, gets
plenty of information -- including a subion to her magazine -- and
isn't afraid to ask for help.
Spears is coming to her pregnancy with love and optimism, which are among
the two most important things to have, but "babies don't come with a
guidebook," Chan said. "Having resources like magazines and books as well as
a good support network all really add up to what a new mom needs."
Spears has been thinking about motherhood for some time. In November, she
wrote fans on her Web site, www.britneyspears.com, about her longing for
children.
"A lot of people think you should wait till you're older to have kids,"
Spears wrote. "I've had a career since I was 16, have traveled around the
world and back and even kissed Madonna.
"The only thing I haven't done so far is experience the closest thing to God
and that's having a baby. I can't wait!"
So it wasn't exactly a shock when Spears and hubby Kevin Federline made it
official last week. Of course, Spears won't be at this alone. Federline has
plenty of experience with kids -- he's already fathered two other children.
Spears has a pretty clear idea on what she thinks makes a good mother. In
that same November letter she outlines the basics -- it turns out she plans
on being very hands-on.
"I feel your child needs to be your full-time job," she wrote. "I want to
raise my kids and share all of those precious moments with them and not rely
on nannies."
Well, we'll see about that -- chances are it will all be on TV.
Motherhood changes things
Britney Spears, who last week announced she is pregnant, is no Christina
Aguilera -- although we hear X-Tina has toned it down -- but she does have
her wild side. From late-night antics to tabletop dancing, Mrs. Federline
has been known to let loose.
Will having a kid slow Spears down? Here are some "bad girls" who were
changed by pregnancy -- for better or worse.
ANGELINA JOLIE: The actress talked openly about her one-night stands,
bragged about her sexual prowess in the back of limos and ran around
Hollywood with a vial of former husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood around
her neck. But in 2001 she adopted a son, Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie, and
morphed into a devoted mom.
"It's an amazing thing to take care of a child and have a child trust you
and love you. It makes me feel like I somehow have a purpose," Jolie told
ABC's Barbara Walters in 2003. "I've learned that I love being a mom. He's
just focused my life in this way that whatever anything else is going on,
just this grounding other life. If he's OK, if he's healthy, nothing else
matters to me."
MADONNA: The Material Girl was all about controversy back in the day -- just
take a look at some of her videos, some of which couldn't be aired until
after 6 p.m. But what a difference a baby -- or two -- makes. Now, Madonna
has found the religion Kabbalah and writes children's books. She is even
talking about having a third child. Last year she said, "I'm the person who
stands at the door when my husband comes home from work, waiting to rub his
feet. And I'm the person who helps my kids with their homework and puts them
to bed. I'm exhausted."
DENISE RICHARDS: This Downers Grove native and former Bond girl may be
famous -- or is that infamous? -- for her steamy menage-a-trois with Neve
Campbell and Matt Dillon in "Wild Things." But when it comes to her
1-year-old daughter Sam, she's no-nonsense. "Having her changes everything,"
Richards told People magazine in December. "To see things through Sam's eyes
is really amazing." She is currently expecting a second child and is
separated from her husband, actor Charlie Sheen.
KATE HUDSON: She's married to a rocker -- the Black Crowes singer Chris
Robinson -- so you know she can party. But now she thinks more about their
son Ryder Russell Robinson, born in January 2004, than backstage parties.
"When we're apart, it's hard," she told London's Daily Mirror. "I can't
begin to describe what it means for us as a couple. All of a sudden you have
these emotions where you think you have to be the perfect mother, you'd
better breast-feed the right way or people will think you're weird. And then
you think, 'Well, wait a minute. This child is in our life and what we can
do is show him who we are, be honest with him, and give him as much love as
possible.' "
LIV TYLER: Being a bad girl is in her genes -- her pop is Aerosmith frontman
Steven Tyler. But "Lord of the Rings" star Tyler would rather spend time
showing off her little elf. New York tabloids have been full of pictures of
Tyler and 5-month-old son Milo William Langdon taking walks together.
COURTNEY LOVE: This singer may the baddest of all mamas. The wife of late
rocker Kurt Cobain and mother of his daughter Frances Bean, now 12, Love has
been arrested more than once and is in and out of courtrooms for incidents
including assault and drug use. Child welfare agents took her daughter away
in 2003 because of her drug problems, though she is reported to have
regained custody of the 12-year-old earlier this year.
WHO'S NEXT? WE RANK THEIR CHANCES
The announcement by Britney Spears that she is pregnant finally separates
her from the rest of her peers.
But we wonder who's going to be next of the Tiny Canine Club (Britney,
Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, etc.) to be with child.
We rank their chances -- one dog being the least likely, four being the
most.
JESSICA SIMPSON
She would have been the front runner about six months ago. But the last
couple of months the pop diva's marriage to Nick Lachey appears to have hit
some rough waters. The tabloids have been full of reports that Lachey has
had a wandering eye -- a lot. Reports have also surfaced that Jessica may
have been getting a little too close to her "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star,
Johnny Knoxville. She says they're friends and told US Weekly this past
week: "Nick and I are strong. It makes some people feel better to think we
aren't. But we are. We are so in love. That is the truth. I can't worry too
much about anything else."
Rank: 2
PARIS HILTON
We saw on "The Simple Life" how Paris can handle herself in the real
world -- and it wasn't pretty. If she were to have a baby, let's hope she
hires a nanny, or three -- not to mention she'd have to put on some weight
if she plans on carrying a baby. Unfortunately for Paris, she won't be able
to stick her baby in a Louis Vuitton bag.
Rank: 1
JENNIFER LOPEZ
J. Lo sparked speculation after canceling a trip to London in February. She
bared her midriff during New York Fashion Week, but the loose-fitting dress
she wore to the Grammys led to whispers. She's not getting any younger and
was complaining about a loud ticking inner clock in a 2000 interview. And,
she married third husband Marc Anthony last year. She told the Daily Mirror:
"I come from a very close-knit family, and I would love to get married and
have children in that order. It's a big part of the journey through life,
and I'm looking forward to that day. Everything else is nothing if you don't
have someone to share it with and children to love."
Rank: 4
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
She has definitely softened her bad girl image recently. She is currently in
her Marilyn Monroe moment -- blond hair, vintage clothes -- and recently
announced that she got engaged to her boyfriend of two years, music
executive Jordan Bratman. But babies may have to wait. She has told friends
that she doesn't want to rush into marriage. And a baby out of wedlock --
well, that's questionable.
Rank: 2
TORI SPELLING
She has benefitted from being the daughter of a high-powered Hollywood
mogul -- Aaron Spelling -- so she knows the benefits of being a Spelling
baby. The former "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress married actor-writer Charlie
Shanian last year. She has a movie coming out, "Hush," where we'll see how
Spelling handles motherhood. The film is about a young couple who are trying
to have a baby. We wonder, however, what would "90210's" David think of all
this?

Caught In The Act
Sometimes screen sex is for real. Only the actors know for sure, and
Angelina Jolie isn't telling. Ali Catterall looks back over the history of
cinematic sex including all those rumours about who actually did the deed on
camera.
According to Mighty Aphrodite star Mira Sorvino, "It rarely happens that
actors have proper sex in films. But it does, though, now and again. One
actress told me she had made love during a very popular film. These people
would not lie about their experiences."
Or would they? Ewan McGregor's angry denials that he and Nicole Kidman had
indulged in a little ooh-la-la during the filming of Moulin Rouge sound
convincing enough ("It's shite. I haven't f***ed Nicole"), but sex on and
off camera is as old as Hollywood itself.
On one legendary occasion, producer Harry Joe Brown disturbed serial-seducer
Bette Davis with her Dangerous co-star Franchet Tone, who was then attached
to Joan Crawford. As author Andrea Love describes in 'Secret Sex Lives of
the Rich And Famous', on opening the unlocked trailer door "the producer
apologised, the actor laughed, and Davis returning to action, said 'Close
the door as you go out.'"
As Sorvino suggests, actual rumpy in movies is rare - but not unknown. Ai No
Corrida, Baise-Moi, The Idiots and Romance all feature genuine sexual acts,
though in most cases, as with Last Tango In Paris, it's all just smoke,
mirrors and margarine. Even Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg's notorious
knee-trembler in Nic Roeg and Donald Cammell's Performance has been revealed
as something of an anti-climax. According to producer Sandy Lieberson, who
owns the outtakes, although Jagger's not actually in flagrante, "he's up and
ready". More noteworthy was the action happening off-set, with Cammell,
Jagger, Pallenberg and her lover, Keith Richards, reputedly enmeshed in a
real love quadrangle throughout the shoot.
Rumours were rife during 1974 that Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland had
performed non-simulated sex in another Roeg film, Don't Look Now. If US
censors considered the four-minute scene too explicit, and snipped
accordingly, the BBFC judged it "tasteful and integral to the plot". As film
critic Kim Newman, who likens watching genuine cinematic nookie to viewing
"open-heart surgery", says "You almost never see married characters having
sex in films - the emotional context makes it unusual, rather than the
amount of buttock thrusts." However, according to Christie, "It was pretend
sex, (but) it was tough on both Donald and myself. We did the scene at the
beginning of the film and we were dreadfully embarrassed. After the film
came out, my stepfather said to me, 'I hope you're not doing any writhing in
your next one.'"
Basic Instinct director Paul Verhoeven recalls Michael Douglas and Sharon
Stone similarly reacting with shock to his storyboards. As he told 'Total
DVD Online' in 2002, "They were like 'What the f*** is this?' But I
explained it and they ended up going through the scenes like machines."
Conversely, Kerry Fox remains refreshingly unfazed about her own performance
(an on-screen blow-job for co-star Mark Rylance) in Patrice Chereau's
Intimacy. As she told 'Inside Film', "We spent a lot of time getting it
right - it was rehearsed like any other scene."
A quite different approach was taken by former screen-partners Antonio
Banderas and Angelina Jolie, who according to Original Sin director Michael
Christopher, "just took off and sort of did it". Said Jolie, who decided to
forgo a modesty-preserving pubic patch as she felt too confined by it,
"sometimes he'd just let us explore each other's hands or faces and he'd
just let the cameras go." But according to the actress, then married to
Billy Bob Thornton, the idea of genuine adultery never crossed her mind: "I
think very little of people who do things like that."
Jolie had met Thornton on the set of 1999's air traffic control drama
Pushing Tin, marrying him a year later. According to reports, Jolie told
friends Billy Bob was "the biggest in Hollywood", vital for an actress who
claimed she needed sex "more than anyone I know". Three years later, the
marriage was in tatters.
As sexpert Emily Dubberley, founder of Cliterati.co.uk, says, "If actors are
playing at being in love, they can all too easily convince themselves they
actually are. Some people may feel that 'tour rules' apply - if your
partner's out of sight, they're out of mind, and what happens on set, stays
on set. There is also a lot of pressure on set to get things done on time,
because time is money, and research has shown that people get more aroused
in times of stress as the adrenaline runs through them." Real-life porn
performer Mark Sloane, star of Customs And Sexcise among others, agrees: "If
you're working together in a tense situation, it can overpower everybody -
but you can't blame it all on filming."
Finally, proving that real love can blossom through cinema, Jack Nicholson
told Adam Sandler on the set of Anger Management - a film about a man who
can't commit - that he'd lost his lifelong love Anjelica Huston because he
wouldn't settle down. Heeding his words, Sandler took his girlfriend of
three years, Jackie Titone, down the aisle during a private ceremony in the
summer of 2003. Who said romance was dead?

- Celebrity Gossip
- It's one of Hollywood's fey jokes that one of the most dominant of female stars is probably best known to a whole generation of moviegoers as the wire hanger-wielding Mother From Hell, but that does an injustice to this amazing performer. In her youth a saucer-eyed, curvaceous beauty, Crawford underwent a remarkable metamorphosis as she got older; her hardened features, including flashing eyes and a cruel mouth, perfectly suited the manipulative, catty, unscrupulous women she later played. In truth, she clung to leading-lady status longer than she should have, but it was a hard-won status and one she was loathe to abandon. (And it can be legitimately maintained that, unlike many actresses who clawed their way to the top, she was as talented as she was ambitious.) A backstage child-her stepfather was a vaudeville theater manager-she took up dancing and by age 16 was working both in a Broadway chorus and an after-hours nightclub W_hen MGM executive Harry Rapf spotted her and signed her to a studio contract. She debuted-under her real name-in 1925's Pretty Ladies then became Joan Crawford in Old Clothes that same year. More substantial roles followed in Sally, Irene and Mary (also 1925, as Irene), and The Boob (1926, as a Prohibition agent!), before she was loaned to First National to star opposite Harry Langdon in Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (also 1926).
She returned to MGM and costarred in numerous melodramas, among them Taxi Dancer, The Unknown (opposite Lon Chaney), Winners of the Wilderness (all 1927), and Four Walls (1928); her roles were largely decorative, and contemporary reviewers didn't indicate any special confidence in her ability. But then came Our Dancing Daughters in which she performed a spirited Charleston atop a table, literally dancing her way into the memories of moviegoers. The picture's surprise success made Crawford an "instant" star, and she worked hard to convince both her bosses and her newly won fans that she had the right stuff. (She later top-lined in two follow-ups to Daughters 1929's Our Modern Maidens and 1930's Our Blushing Brides More romances followed: Dream of Love (also 1928), The Duke Steps Out, Untamed (both 1929, the latter her first talkie). Crawford demonstrated her hoofing abilities once again in a vigorous novelty number in The Hollywood Revue of 1929 She bulldozed her way into Hollywood's royal family by marrying Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., that same year; they divorced in 1933.
Crawford was an MGM stalwart for more than a decade, generally playing tough, independent-minded women-often poor shop girls or secretaries striving for success against formidable odds-in the likes of Paid (1930), Dance, Fools, Dance, Possessed (both 1931), Grand Hotel (1932, as the secretary), Rain (also 1932, out of character but very convincing as South Seas trollop Sadie Thompson), Today We Live (1933, opposite Franchot Tone, whom she wed in 1935), Dancing Lady (also 1933, singing and dancing opposite Fred Astaire in his screen debut), Sadie McKee, Chained (both 1934), The Gorgeous Hussy (1936), The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937), Mannequin (1938), Ice Follies of 1939, The Women (both 1939), Strange Cargo, Susan and God (both 1940), and A Woman's Face (1941). But her star went into decline (she'd been labeled "box-office poison" by a movieindustry trade paper in 1938), and after completing Above Suspicion (1943), MGM prexy Louis B. Mayer showed her the door.
Crawford did not work on-screen for two years except for a guest shot in Hol- lywood Canteen (1944). She persuaded Warner Bros. to cast her in the title role in Mildred Pierce (1945), and her Oscar- winning turn as a sacrificing mother put her back on top. It was a gamble for the actress, who didn't relish playing mother parts and feared she'd be typecast in them. Crawford remained at Warners in such films as Humoresque (1946), Pos- sessed (1947, which earned her another Oscar nomination), and Flamingo Road (1949), and rebuilt her reputation as a top screen star. Her later work was somewhat erratic, but her more memorable charac- terizations of the period include the defin- itive horror-housewife in Harriet Craig (1950), the terrorized playwright in Sud- den Fear (1952, an Oscar-nominated per- formance), a bitchy Broadway star in Torch Song (1953, back at MGM), the tough saloon-keeper in Johnny Guitar (1954, to this day a favorite cult Western), frustrated women in Female on The Beach (1955) and Autumn Leaves (1956), and a nasty magazine editor in The Best of Everything (1959).
In 1955 she married Pepsi-Cola chair- man Alfred Steele; he died four years later, and she remained on the board of directors. In her 50s, she seemed to be at career's end, but in 1962 director Robert Aldrich teamed her with Bette Davis (not exactly a harmonious pairing) in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? a critical and commercial smash that revitalized both women's careers and kicked off an entire cycle of horror movies featuring older women. She dropped out of the follow-up, EB>. Hush, Sweet Char- lotte but did make two for horrormeister William Castle, Strait-Jacket (1964) and I Saw What You Did (1965), as well as Ber- serk (1967) and Trog (1970, her final film) for English directors. Crawford's last nonhorror role was that of a venal nurse in The Caretakers (1963). In 1969 she starred in a telefilm that served as the pilot for a series called "Night Gallery." In it she played a wealthy woman who will stop at nothing to find a donor for her eye transplant operation. One of her last performances, it was also one of her best; her director was a newcomer named Ste- ven Spielberg.
She had been dead barely a year when her adopted daughter, Christina, wrote "Mommie Dearest," chronicling her traumatic experiences in Crawford's tyrannical household. It sparked endless talk and seriously damaged the actress' public image. The book was filmed in 1981, with Faye Dunaway as Crawford, but it was done in a campy style that further chipped away at her legend. It was an ignoble footnote to a distinctive and fascinating career.
- "Damn it...Don't you dare ask God to help me." [Last words, spoken to her housekeeper, who had begun to pray aloud.]
- "Look, there's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!" (Crawford, criticizing Marilyn Monroe)
- "Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party."
- "You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed."
- "Women's Lib? Poor little things. They always look so unhappy. Have you noticed how bitter their faces are?"
- "Mother and daughter feuds make for reams in print; they also make for reams of inaccuracies: the greatest inaccuracy is the feud itself. It takes two to feud and I'm not one of them. I only wish the best for Tina." - in reference to the ongoing fued between herself and her daughter Christina
- "I think the most important thing a woman can have -- next to talent, of course, is -- her hairdresser."
- "Nobody can imitate me. You can always see impersonations of Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. But not me. Because I've always drawn on myself only."
- "Love is fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell."
- "I hate being asked to discuss those dreadful horror pictures I made the mistake of starring in. They were all just so disappointing to me, I really had high expectations for some of them. I thought that William Castle and I did our best on Strait-Jacket but the script was ludicrous and unbelievable and that destroyed that picture. I even thought that Circus Of Terror would be good but that was one of the worst of the lot. The other one William Castle and I did was the most wretched of them all and I just wasn't good at playing an over-the-hill nymphomaniac. Ha! Then came Trog. Now you can understand why I retired from making motion pictures. Incidentally, I think at that point in my career I was doing my best work on television. Della was a good television role for me, and I really liked working on that pilot episode of Night Gallery with young Steven Spielberg. He did a great job and I am very satisfied with my performance on that show. Funny, every time a reporter asks me about my horror pictures they never talk about that one, and it's the only one I liked!"
- "I realized one morning that Trog was going to be my last picture. I had to be up early for the shoot and W_hen I looked outside at the beautiful morning sky I felt that it was time to say goodbye. I think that may have been a prophetic thought because when I arrived on the set that morning the director told me that due to budget cuts we would wrap up filming today. The last shot of that film was a one-take and it was a very emotional moment for me. When I was walking up that hill towards the sunset I was flooded with memories of the last 50 years, and when the director yelled cut I just kept on walking. That for me was the perfect way to end my film career, however the audiences who had to sit through that picture may feel differently."
- "If I weren't a Christian Scientist, and I saw Trog advertised on a marquee across the street, I'd think I'd contemplate suicide."
- "They were all terrible, even the few I thought might be good. I made them because I needed the money or because I was bored or both. I hope they have been exhibited and withdrawn and are never heard from again." - regarding her films that followed "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"
- "If you start watching the oldies, you're in trouble. I feel ancient if Grand Hotel (1932) or Bride Wore Red, The (1937) comes on. I have a sneaking regard for _Mildred Pierce (1945)_ , but the others do nothing for me."
- "If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don't need an analyst."
- "[In Women, The (1939)] Norma Shearer made me change my costume sixteen times because every one was prettier than hers. I love to play bitches and she _helped_ me in this part."
- "If you want to see the girl next door, go next door"
- "I need sex for a clear complexion, but I'd rather do it for love."
- Wore size 4C shoes. (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
- Measurements: 35-25-35 (as model 1930), 35-25 1/2-37 (precise studio stats, 1937) (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
- Adopted four children: Christina, Christopher, and twins Cynthia and Cathy.
- Immortalized in the song "Joan Crawford" by Blue Oyster Cult
- Joan never liked the name "Crawford", saying to a friend that it sounded too much like "Crawfish". He replied that it was much better than "Cranberry".
- Joan adopted another son in the early 1940s, but during a magazine interview she disclosed the location of the his birth, and his biological mother showed up at her Brentwood home wanting the baby back. Thinking that a fight would hurt the well-being of the child, she gave him back to his mother, who then sold him to another family.
- When Joan adopted her eldest daughter, Christina, she first named her 'Joan, Jr.'. Baby pictures from the book 'Mommie, Dearest' show baby Christina lying on a towel with 'Joan, Jr.' monogrammed on it. Later, for reasons that can only be speculated, Joan changed the baby's name to Christina. Joan did the same thing to her adopted son, who was named 'Phillip Terry, Jr.', after the man that Joan was married to at the time he was adopted. After her divorce to Phillip Terry was finalized, Joan changed the boy's name to Christopher.
- Joan was dancing in a chorus line in 1925 W_hen she was spotted by MGM and offered a screen test. Joan, who wanted more than anything to continue dancing, turned down the offer at first. But another chorus girl pursuaded Joan to try the test, and a few weeks later she was put under contract.
- As a child, Joan was playing in the front yard of her home in Texas W_hen she got a large piece of glass lodged in her foot. After it was removed, doctors told her she would likely never walk again without a limp. Joan was determined to be a dancer, so she practiced walking and dancing every day for over six months until she was able to walk without pain. Not only did she make a full recovery, she also fulfilled her dream of becoming a chorus dancer.
- Joan adopted all of her children except Christopher Crawford while she was unmarried. Since the state of California did not allow single men and women to adopt children at that time, Joan had to search for agencies in the eastern United States. The agency in charge of the adoption of Christina Crawford was later uncovered as part of a black market baby ring.
- When Christina decided to become an actress, Joan demanded that she change her last name, so it wouldn't appear that she was using it to further her career. Christina refused.
- Met her biological father only once W_hen he visited her on the set of "Our Dancing Daughters". She would never see him again.
- During her later years, Crawford was drinking up to a quart of vodka a day.
- Drank excessively and smoked until she began practicing Christian Science, at which time she abruptly quit doing both.
- Decided to adopt children after suffering a series of miscarriages with her husbands, and being told by doctors that she would never be able to have a baby.
- Because Joan was bullied and shunned at Stephens College by the other students due to her poor homelife, she answered every single piece of fanmail she received in her lifetime except those from former classmates at Stephens.
- Sister of actor Hal Le Sueur.
- Joan always considered Unknown, The (1927) a big turning point for her. She said it wasn't until working with Lon Chaney in this film that she learned the difference between standing in front of a camera and acting in front of a camera. She said that was all due to Lon Chaney and his intense concentration, and after that experience she said she worked much harder to become a better actress.
- - It was recently learned from an excellent, detailed and objective TV bio of her life (including information from Christina Crawford) that Joan Crawford's hatred of wire hangers derived from her poverty as a child, and her experiences working with her mother in what must have been a grim job in a laundry. [6 August 2002]
- She disliked her 'new' name and initially encouraged others to pronounce it Jo-Anne Crawford. In private, she liked to be referred to as Billie.
- "Joan Arden" was chosen as the young star's screen name after a write-in contest was held in the pages of "Movie Weekly" magazine, but a bit player came forward and said she was already using it. Mrs. Marie M. Tisdale, a crippled woman living in Albany, New York, won $500 for submiting the runner-up name "Joan Crawford".
- Her final words before dying were quoted as being "Damn it . . . Don't you dare ask God to help me." which was said to her housekeeper, who had begun to pray aloud.
- In her final years at MGM, Crawford was handed weak scripts in the hopes that she'd break her contract. Two films she hungered to appear in were "Random Harvest" (1942) and "Madame Curie" (1943). Both films went to bright new star Greer Garson instead, and Crawford left the studio soon after.
- Despite being a big star, Crawford really didn't appear in that many film classics. One she missed out on was "From Here to Eternity" in 1953. When the domineering actress insisted that her costumes be designed by Sheila O'Brien, studio head Harry Cohn replaced her with Deborah Kerr.
- Her cleanliness obsession lead her to prefer showers to tubs, as she abhorred sitting in her own bathwater.
- After hearing that a plumber had used a toilet after installing it in her Brentwood home, she immediately had the fixture and pipes ripped out and replaced.
- Adoptive mother of Christina Crawford.
- In the early 1930s, tired of playing fun-loving flappers, Joan wanted to change her image. Thin lips would not do for her, she wanted big lips! Ignoring Crawford's natural lip contours, Max Factor ran a smear of colour across her upper and lower lips; it was just what she wanted. To Max, the Crawford look, which became her trademark, was always 'the smear'. To the public, it became known as 'Hunter's Bow Lips'. Crawford is often credited as helping to rout America's prejudice against lipstick.
- Whenever she stayed in a hotel, no matter how good and well-reputated it was meant to be, Joan always scrubbed the bathroom herself before using it.
- Was born Catholic but converted to Christian Science in later years.
- She was named as 'the other woman' in at least two divorces.
- Her 1933 contract with MGM was so detailed and binding, it even had a clause in it indicating what time she was expected to be in bed each night.
- Was forced by MGM boss, Louis B. Mayer to drop her real name Lucille LeSueur because it sounded too much like 'sewer'
- Always slept in white pyjamas.
- She would never smoke a cigarette unless she opened the pack herself, and would never use another cigarette out of that pack if someone else had touched it.
- She had a cleanliness obsession. She used to wash her hands every ten minutes and follow guests around her house wiping everything they touched, especially doorknobs and pieces from her china set.
- Born at 10:00 PM
- Niece-in-law of Robert Fairbanks.
- Cousin-in-law of Lucile Fairbanks.
- Daughter-in-law of Douglas Fairbanks.
- At the time of her death, the only photographs displayed in her apartment were of Barbara Stanwyck and the late President John F. Kennedy.
- Cartoonist Milton Caniff claimed he created the character of "Dragon Lady" for his popular "Terry and the Pirates" comic strip, based on Joan Crawford.
- She taught director Steven Spielberg how to belch while filming their episode of Night Gallery.
- After her friend Steven Spielberg hit it big, Joan sent him periodic notes of congratulations. The last one came two weeks before her death.
- She was so dedicated to her fans that she always personally responded to her fan mail by typing them responses on blue paper and autographing it. A great deal of her spare time and weekends were spent doing this.
- Was asked to take over Carole Lombard's role in "They All Kissed The Bride" after she died in a air crash during a war bond tour. She then donated all of her salary to the Red Cross who found Lombard's body, and promptly fired her agent for taking his usual 10%.
- Interred at Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, New York, USA.
- Each time Crawford married, she changed the name of her Brentwood estate and installed all new toilet seats.
- Worked as an elevator operator at Harzfeld's department store in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
- Quit Stephens College, a posh university for women in Columbia, Missouri, in the early 1920s.
- Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur on March 23, 1904 in San Antonio, Texas. She was the product of a broken home before she was born in that her parents were already separated before the birth. Her mother had trouble keeping husbands after having married three times. Joan was fond of dancing and had entered several dance contests. She wanted a career in show business because it was much more glamorous than the odd jobs she was working. One dance contest she won landed her in a chorus line. Before long, Joan found herself dancing in the big cities of the Mid-West and along the Atlantic coast. After almost two years dancing, Joan decided to take a chance and packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles, California and the movie colony of Hollywood. She felt movies might afford her a chance of fame and glory and she was determined to succeed. Not long after arriving in California, Joan got her first bit role as a showgirl in Pretty Ladies (1925) in 1925. Three other films quickly followed. Although the roles weren't much to speak of, Joan continued to toil away. Throughout 1927 and the first part of 1928, Joan was handed menial roles. That ended with the role of Diana Medford in Our Dancing Daughters (1928). The film was the one to get her elevated to star status. She had made the tough hurdle of making the "big time". Now she was faced with another. The "talkie" era was upon the movie colony and many stars of the era were suddenly worried about their futures. With silent pictures, it didn't matter what kind of voice you had, but with sound pictures it made a tremendous difference. While some stars saw their livelihood halted, Joan's strong voice enabled her to continue. Her first film with sound was in Untamed (1929). The film was a success and Joan's career was still in top form. As she entered the 1930s, Joan became one of the top stars in the MGM stable. Films such as Grand Hotel (1932), Sadie McKee (1934), No More Ladies (1935), and Love on the Run (1936), kept movie patrons and film executives happy. Joan was in top form.
By the time the 1940s rolled around, Joan noticed she wasn't getting the plum roles which once came her way. There were new stars in town and the public wanted to see them. She left MGM and went to rival Warner Brothers Studio where she landed the role of a lifetime. In 1945, Joan landed the lead in Mildred Pierce (1945), a film depicting the rise of a housewife to a successful businesswoman. The film landed Joan her first and only Oscar for Best Actress. The following year she appeared with John Garfield in the well-received Humoresque (1946). In 1947, Joan landed the role of Louis Graham in Possessed (1947). Again she was nominated for a Best Actress from the Academy, but lost to Loretta Young in Farmer's Daughter, The (1947).
Joan continued to pick and choose what good roles she wanted to appear in. 1952 saw Joan nominated for a third time for her role of Myra Hudson in Sudden Fear (1952). This time the coveted Oscar went to Shirley Booth in Come Back, Little Sheba (1952). Her career slowed down tremendously after that. Movie after movie saw her relegated to menial roles, with the possible exception of 1962's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) with her arch-rival, Bette Davis, who she detested. By now the feud, between the two was well-known. No one is sure exactly how it started, but one time Miss Davis said of Joan, "She's slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie." In return Joan said, "I don't hate Bette Davis even though the press wants me to. I resent her. I don't see how she built a career out of a set of mannerisms, instead of real acting ability. Take away the pop eyes, the cigarette, and those funny clipped words and what have you got? She's phony, but I guess the public really likes that".
Her adopted daughter, Christina, wrote a tell-all book that did not put Joan in a flattering light called, "Mommy Dearest". Needless to say Christine was cut out of the will. Her final appearance on the silver screen was a 1970 flop called Trog (1970). Turning to vodka, she was not seen much afterward. On May 10, 1977, Joan died of cancer in New York City. She was 73 years old.
