A big shout-out to you, ms. Venus! Haven't bumped into you here for awhile. Hope you and yours are healthy and happy in TX.

As for Miss Crawford: The girl knows her power colors: Blood red lips and huge blackblackblack eygebrows. No wonder she always looked so intimidating...

Didn't they used to shave the eyebrows off and just paint them on with eyebrow pencil? In the UK you can still see women wearng this style, along with nylons that still have seams!

Joan Crawford Fact:

Miss Crawfords brow shape was natural. What gave them their drama was the black mascara she used to darken them.

 

[veg-o-matic]

That's no lady.

That's a Broad.

Honey, that Broad's kitty has teeth!

I was relieved when closer examination revealed that most of that explosion of black above her face was hat and not hair. Some would swear that the photo gave us a glimpse of her aura.

 

[brettsomers]

Glimpse of her aura...

From what ive read, joan loved to be photographed, and the pic i posted DOES show us her trademark bravura. she was a great star. im reminded of joan more and more as i see Madonnas career continue. here is an image (one of my favorites) showing the young and vulnerable side of Joan...

 

[whirlcool]

YOu can tell one thing in these photos

and that was JC was one determined broad!

 

[polkanut]

Just don't cross her path or she'll beat the s#&@ out of you with a wire clothes hanger!!!

If nothing else, her story is a warning to all adults who mistreat children. The kids will outlive you and expose you for the horrible person you were. You don't have to be famous to have people interested in hearing about abusive parents. The tragedy of Ms. Crawford's family was that there was no one to step in and rescue those children from a woman who should never have been entrusted with the care of anything that had life.

This Str8 guy could never stand her in movies and when I watched Mommie Dearest that was it nothing for me.

She wasn't a broad or a strong woman or anything like that. She was an insecure angry witch.

 

[toggleswitch]

Unless we were there witnessing the event(s), we don't really know what happened.

There are three sides to EVERY story *yours*, *mine* and the truth.

As they say in these parts, only the large wooden spoon knows what is really going on at the bottom of a pot of pasta.

(I think she did it... but anyway..)

 

[jasonl]

Well, you have a point but everything most of us know about JC is she was an abusive lady especially to her children.

Show me otherwise and I may change my opinions. Joan Crawford is not very high on my to-do list anyway, actually, she's not even on the bottom.

 

[toggleswitch]

Oh you can be SURE she was NEVER on the bottom.

 

[jasonl]

But she never was or never will be on top with me. I'd take those shirtless guys on the other pic before even thinking about one minute with Joan.

How un-sexy can someone be?
