Lolly Gagging

"I have known Joan Crawford for more than thirty-five years. I still don't know her at all..She is the only star I know who manufactured herself...She drew up a blueprint for herself and outlined a beautiful package of skin, bones and character and then set about to put life into the outline. She succeeded, and so Joan Crawford came into existence at the same time an overweight Charleston dancer, born Lucille LeSueur, disappeared from the world. It took me a long time to realize this. I believed, for some time, that Lucille existed under the skin." - Louella Parsons
