Yes it was quite HUGE, her face, I can't work out if it is just her individual features, or her skull, maybe her jaw, but it is quite jarring looking at her, I never thought she was amazingly beautiful, though I did enjoy some of her performances.
@@michaelreilly3513 Many people that knew here said the first thing you noticed when you met her in person was how beautiful she was. You saw beauty that the camera did not capture. The second thing you noticed was how HUGE her head was. There are a few home movies on youtube that shows her without make-up. She was stunning. Her face was full of freckles.
@@brentaudi9354 I have read all that you said elsewhere and seen her face with all its freckles, I would have covered them too, if I was her, as they did nothing for her on screen glamour. Now, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my eyes when I look at Miss Joan Crawford, do not see a great beauty, I see a well made up face with strong and big features, not ugly by any means, striking, yes, strong, yes, but not beautiful. Not a criticism, just MY observation.
He just wouldn’t stop talking, instead of interviewing her he would interject his own opinion all the time, which was visibly annoying to her; but you can also see how used she was to it, by how she just stared at him going on and on doing his dumb thing; indeed those were the “men” of the day. It does make me think of what all the other women of this planet had to put up with if the big Hollywood stars were having to take the nonsense to this degree, and from interviewers at that. He was also standing too close to her, even awkwardly touched her shoulder at some point tf was that?! You can see her quick reaction to that tho, in rising the tone of her voice ever so slightly and answering the question with command and authority _ that was her way of saying hands off while keeping her composure and class; and whenever he did allow her to get a word in for like three seconds she would always deconstruct his bs narrative in that precise amount of time too haha Queen! 😂
@@SerafEnd - no, she luckily lived in age without distracting devices glued to our eye sockets. She grew up in a time where people actually made eye contact with one another as they spoke...
Too close for comfort tho. Maybe it’s just that the guy is a close talker but it’s still not okay to be in someone’s personal space like that. Give us some space to breath much!? Love the eye contact she makes with him tho, it tells him that she is not afraid, and that SHE is in control. You are no longer prey if you stand the potential predator in the eye. She knows what she’s doing. I had to learn what she’s doing, and so did she. The Japanese have an expression called reading the air, most westerners are so oblivious to it it’s sad. Learn to read the air folks, she is setting her boundaries and asserting her control in staring him in the eye like that, razor blade sharp, chin constantly held high. Queen!
her eye contact is so strong and powerful. People say it can come off as rude if it's for too long, but i stare into people's eye's while they talk, especially when responding to a question I ask in a more casual lighter toned conversation because I feel I listen better. I'm glad I have that in common with her.
In the 1950s she began to look mannish as her strong features hardened and her hair and brows made her look like the camp caricature you see here. (7/27/24)
Joan came from nothing and worked hard to become a true star. She had real class and never forgot her fans who remained loyal to her throughout her life. Miss Crawford was a legend.

She wasn't just a good actress, she was a GREAT actress when given the opportunity in superior films like "A Woman's Face", "Sudden Fear", "Mildred Pierce", and "Possessed".
Joan’s 1950s films remind me of a gladiator going into battle against the new wave. She refused to give up her title. Her armor was thicker eyebrows, more prominent make up and a colder, bitchier veneer/attitude. She played the imperious Grande Dame so well and that is 99% of her camp appeal…..her 1930s films she was a soft and dewy ingenue with a core of inner toughness but it was not as pronounced as the late 1940s/ early 1950s
I’ve seen people say her eyebrows made her look older but they’re dead wrong- it was the hairstyles she wore in the 50’s that aged her. Should have always kept some sort of shoulder length wavy cut to frame that beautiful face.
Her eye contact was to keep HIM on an even playground. Don't try to patronize and treat her like a "little woman," she must have thought. He tried to do that by his, quick wit, his, ass kissing, and his dry humor, and she wouldn't fall for it. Especially when he tried to touch her. He was trying to gain control of the interview. She didn't flinch she was most professional, and you can see he was nervous. She intimidated him by sitting real close to him and even leaned forward and straight into his eyes. That is years of training on how to deal with all BS of Hollywood men, and executives. "DON'T FUDGE WITH ME FELLOWS! I KNOW HOW TO WIN THE HARD WAY."
Thank you for sharing this video of Joan. I love the fact how she was discovered and made into a star by the system. Remember no matter how good an actor or actdress is does not mean they are automatically a star.
I love Joan so much, she always tries to be so positive and humble. Of course, she knows she is a star, but she tries to stay humble because that's part of what kept her hungry to do a better job each time she did a film. This movie they are talking about was an Oscar-worthy film and performance.
I wish people would leave Joan Crawford alone she grew up in poverty and got out of it all by her self she worked very very very hard to be a hollywood movie star that has to mean something.
When he puts his hand on her shoulder and “cracks a joke” but she doesn’t laugh and even continues with her sentence not allowing him to interrupt again.
Bugged me too, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. No need to touch this lady, I would apologize profusely even holding her hand gently to say hello excitedly, touching her on the shoulder? Never.
You can tell she became her characters, the gaze, the dramatic cuts of the camera to her face close up. She makes norma desmond look like normal desmond.
I just came here to look up on her because I discovered about her in a book how she turned her childhood pains and weaknesses into strength, and this video says a lot about her strength, the way she look at the interviewer in the eye. ❤️

P. Folliard well then they didnt know much about Joan's childhood and where she came from. I know its not okay how she treated her older children but who are we to judge her so damn much. She was a complex person, but deep within i think she was very lovely, tho tough, strict and proffesional.
She was probably thinking of "Ice Follies of 1939" when she said, "I've made a few stinkers." I've always been a Joan Crawford fan. A striking woman, a formidable presence, and she most definitely is playing "Joan Crawford" here, the way she holds her head at just the right angle for the camera. I bet she spent some time getting the lighting just right.
Joan is great here , total eye contact and her body is forward close to the interviewer and i would say giving him all her loving attention, she was great !!!!!😊🇬🇧
She was a complex woman, perhaps a bit more complex than most people think. I find it hard to swallow that she was a complete shrew in her private life. She was amazing.
It's a shame how she's depicted. From the interviews I've seen her in, I got a sense of the woman and mother described by her twins, than the monster described by Christina. Also, she has a great sense of humour and a gracious, down-to-earth vibe; nothing like any of the depictions I've seen of her. Good people, talented and successful people, attract smear and jealousy, I guess.
The reporter should not have touched her. She is a star and the best role she ever had was playing Joan Crawford. She loved it and did not want it to end. She put up with a lot to keep it going like doing interviews like this one.
I think he sucks as a interviewer but Joan went through it with class. She is so put together, she's a beauty!! She also had a very strong sex appeal. That explains alot. Lol
That stare she does is a bit too intense, it's like a snake hypnotising it's prey before it strikes (that snake in Jungle Book). Interviewers back then seemed to sit so close. Poor microphone tech? And eugh with the touchy stuff!

You don’t touch JC, dude. Back off! Lol
I an surprised she didn't push his hand off
Yeah, only she gets to touch you! And that’s only “touching” as in strangling you, and only if you’re lucky enough to be one of her children
@@trimmien2350 exactly! All of that energy is right there!
J ADORE ❤ JOAN CRAWFORD ……..BEST ACTRESS , BEST STAR ,,,,BEST WOMAN ………-FOREVER ,,,,,,
They had much respect back then look at news reporters today they don't adresse you by your last name anymore.
A true lady ❤️
she did temporarily retire after this movie and marries Al Steele ;)
Joan is beautiful as always. I love her dark eyebrows.
She is a true Professioal! She believes in doing things the right way. Heart ♥
That stare she does is a bit too intense, it's like a snake hypnotising it's prey before it strikes (that snake in Jungle Book). Interviewers back then seemed to sit so close. Poor microphone tech? And eugh with the touchy stuff!
He's pissing her off.
That used to be considered polite. And it was feminine to look directly into a man's eyes.
It’s a narcissistic stare.
