Good Time Gal
"I looked over at Margaret, who was surrounded by five guys in a booth. There she was with the hair, the furs and the big gestures. I thought, 'Boy, now that's New York! That's glamour!' I had to meet her." - Jack Wrangler

Oh, My!
We haven't forgotten about you, darlings; we've just been busy little bees, full of stings, making honey, day and night, night and day...
We'll be back shortly!

Joan Arden
Trivia time: In 1925, MGM teamed with Movie Weekly magazine to hold a contest, bestowing $1,000 upon the lucky reader who chose the perfect name to rechristen their latest starlet, Lucille LeSueur. But, there were multiple entries with the winning name: "Joan Arden." Rather than award multiple prizes, the thrifty Metro went with the second choice: "Joan Crawford."

You Mean, All This Time...?
"There is no need to hole up in an apartment and die alone. No. None. Poor Joan. I wish I could have liked her more." - Bette Davis
Wishes Do Come True
"Joan Crawford is a movie queen. I had never met one before. I know now what I don't want to be." - Mercedes McCambridge
Fine Feathered Friends
"To me, Joan Crawford’s screen portrayals are all one: a series of transparencies through which she projects her daydream –- herself –- a wonderful abused kid. On the screen, every ladylike effort is stretched by the memory of self-abasement; the salt of every tear is the salt of self-pity." - Louise Brooks

Rock Star
You would think that dear Joan Crawford would be the most likely to cast stones at Norma Shearer; but, as per usual, being married to the boss had its perks, and Irving Thalberg took care of that -- check out the sparkler on Norma's wedding ring finger. All the better for her to see with, as the acid-tongued British actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell once venomously cooed to her Riptide (1934) co-star, "...your beautiful, little, tiny, tiny eyes!"
