The stone stairs outside #JoanCrawford’s summer house are a home insurance company’s nightmare. #SuddenFear #noiralley #tcmparty

Late for #JoanCrawford‘s birthday. #TCMParty

A technician reads while on a break from filming #TheWomen. He's surrounded by the stars' personalized chairs and their effects, such as #NormaShearer's dog-eared script and #JoanCrawford's knitting. The photo appeared in Town & Country magazine in Aug. 1939. #TCMParty #nextbook

Since it is JoanCrawford’s #SUTS day on TCM!! I do wish the network would have aired this documentary below. It is a favorite of mine and very interesting. You can, of course, find it online and in the Criterion version of Mildred Pierce. #TCMparty #JoanCrawford

Apologies for all the delays but finally #NoirMonth starts tomorrow with @ria_reads_books discussing #MildredPierce from the director of Casablanca, featuring #JoanCrawford’s Oscar-Winning turn as our title character and equally unforgettable performance from #AnnBlyth #PrepareForPrattle

DYK critics & censors worried that #JoanCrawford’s Marian Martin, #ClarkGable’s mistress in the 1931 movie “Possessed”, didn’t fall far enough for her sins? Nevertheless, it became a model for films about “ #FallenWomen ” who use their sexuality to survive. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
