Happy Birthday Joan Crawford!!!

(March 23rd, 1904 - May 10th, 1977)

“In private life, Joan was a lovable, sentimental creature. A loyal and generous friend, very thoughtful–dear Joan, she forgot nothing: names, dates, obligations. These included the people at Hollywood institutions who had helped to make and keep her a star. When it was fashionable to rail against the studio system and the tycoons who had built it, she was always warm in their defense. She spoke of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a family in which she was directed and protected, provided with fine stories and just about every great male star to play opposite; later, she built up a similar relationship with Warners.”
