Just the Facts (and the Films), Ma'am...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book is one of many in the Pyramid series on movie stars that came out in the 1970's. This was one of the better entries in the series and honestly, would be a small treasure to any fan of Joan Crawford movies. The book (published in 1974, around the time Joan was beginning to retreat from view but was still making public appearances), the book does NOT delve into the personal. This is a detailed account of the ACTRESS, and her FILMS. That said, those who are salivating for sensationalized juice about Joan sleeping with Marilyn Monroe, Yul Brynner or Rock Hudson...feuding with Bette Davis...or beating the crap out of her daughter will NOT enjoy this book. What the book DOES provide is a rich overview of Joan Crawford's career, dicussing her films, circumstances surrounding filming, and critiques of each film and Joan's performance therein. It's tidy, well-researched, nicely illustrated (for a compact book), and a good companion piece to Lawrence Quirk's THE FILMS OF JOAN CRAWFORD.
