    To me, there is nothing more glamorous than Ann Miller performing on the Mike Douglas show, and then having to leave early to star in a Broadway show. Glamour AND mystique

    Anne Miller was a huge huge star in the UK across the board - over and above her talent she had a quality that appealed to the troops and the working classes who wanted to have fun and dance and Anne always looked like she was having fun no matter how hard she was working - she was the kind of girl guys thought they could date and girls thought they could be and feel comfortable

      Check out ,”Joan Crawford:the Hollywood greats” documentary on RUclips. It is a pretty revealing insight from people who saw first hand the strict disciplinary side of miss Crawford towards her children. She certainly was an iconic Movie Star but like any human being she also had her flaws.

      Yes but others were there and saw and heard - and said the opposite. I don’t blame some sweet friend like Myrna who says something is a lie as she did not see it.

      I always found a flinty quality to Callas, like Galvani. Not to everybody's taste. (Although I like it.) Scotto was sweeter to my ear. (Though she seems a bit shrill at the high notes.) Both different and wonderful singers.

    Myrna Loy is wrong here about Joan Crawford in the Mommie Dearest book by Christina Crawford. The book details their respective lives at HOME, away from the public eye and something that Ms. Loy was not privy too. A child abuser almost never abuses you in public. Ms.Loy was just flat out wrong about that. Oh, well.
