TCM Tribute to Joan Crawford

[@scotnick59]

It was so refreshing to hear Ann speak so highly of Ms Crawford.

[@jaymesguy239]

Because SHE had good experiences with Joan and she seemed to be a very sweet and naive person. Joan was humble and on her 'good behavior' during this film because her whole career was riding on it, so she saw the best of her. Others saw other versions. ;)

@@jaymesguy239 Search under "Ben Cooper" and "joan Crawford" and you will find a tribute from someone who worked with her in the 1950's. Search under "Sally Struthers" and you will find he reminiscences of Joan helping her in the 1970's. Crawford was not the monster portrayed in that idiotic" Feud"

To hear someone speak so kindly and lovingly about Joan Crawford is like feeling a breath of fresh air. Many people only know her legend from a horrid tell-all book and equally horrid bio-pic, but I feel that maybe some people HAVE to believe that women who achieve it all must be conniving and vindictive and abusive to obtain it. Was Joan like that in real life? I don't know. I do know that my mother and I met Miss Crawford back in 1970 in Erie, PA. My mother said that Joan stood and greeted every single person in line and shook hands and said a kind word to them. When she came to me (I was about six months old) and she held me. My mother said that there wasn't any unkindness or weariness during the whole meet-n-greet. Nobody is that good of an actress.

Exactly. Thank you. Meaningful!

One of the true giants of Hollywood's golden age. She along with Norma Shear, Gable and Harlow was a dominant actor during the 30's at MGM, It's a shame she never got an Oscar nomination during that time and didn't win one until she was with Warner Bros. I love her early movies, especially the pre-code ones. Hollywood sure had great movie stars at one time.

[@krystaloy]

Joan was so beautiful it hurt, and so talented and underrated. People speak about her as if they know all this horrible things, every story has a side and a woman as beautiful and talented, successful and famous as her will always be hated. Queen of the screen and the most glamorous love you Joan.

[@jacquelinelarsen1721]

I don't think she was very beautiful at all. She looked harsh. And she aged terribly with those scary eyebrows. And I don't think she was that talented. Not more than anyone else. She was very uncomfortable to watch when she was not acting. She seemed totally fake.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Jacqueline Larsen Lol, Ignorant nonsense. She is considered one of the legendary beauties of Hollywood and she was recognized by the American Film Institute as the 10th greatest actress of all time. Have you actually watched her on gameshows or the famous episode of I Love Lucy? Have you watched any her earlier films? Doubtful. Joan also donated her entire earnings from a movie to the Red Cross after a major plane crash. You’ve made up your mind about her based on cheap gossip and an unreliable book. Why are you here watching this video if you hate her so much? Makes absolutely no sense.

[@avuncular300]

Nice to hear something positive about her life.

[@lindaeasley4336]

Joan worked very hard to get where she wound up - a top star . I think her feud with Norma Shearer stemmed from the fact that she resented Norma getting parts easily in her career do to her inside connections in the business ( husband )

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

She was a Goddess.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Joan is ranked as the 10the greatest actress of all time by the American Film Institute. No one forgot she could act.

Joan Crawford was a Huge Super Star and as. a human being she. was. a giant people that met her & knew BETTE Davis where always ready to help people during not only depression years 1930s,through out their lives always teach to their pocket books for any body that needed help and best, they. never accepted re payment when people try to pay back!!!that the kind of people these Huge legends of the screen were the world lost these two grand human beings HUge. loss... they are loved & missed always...

[@clumsytriangle2436]

She is the original Mildred Pierce for sure. The mini-series does not do it any justice. I think she is an amazing woman and actress. RIP JC.

[@wyomingadventures]

Thank you Anne for kind words about Joan she's one of the best actresses I watched ❤🤩👍

[@Themanwhocameback2]

People love to hate Joan Crawford, and idolize Bette Davis. It's very unfair.

[@scotnick59]

Well, Bette didn't much care for "looks" [she'd be the first to tell you that she was no beauty] but for "acting" & Joan was beautiful and the ultimate movie star: they were cut out differently much to the satisfaction of both their millions (literally) of fans world-wide

[@Marchant2]

Even if every single word of Mommie Dearest were true -- and I honestly don't know -- I still love Joan more than Bette, who I also consider a great talent.

[@paulinejordan6905]

@@Marchant2 I feel the same. I adore her and nothing can change that. She's always been my favorite movie star of all time.

[@Seabasstien]

Enjoyed this tribute from Ann Blyth for Joan Crawford. I think those who believe that Christina was abused are triggered by their own parenting and its probably the same reason I don't think she was abused. My parents were at least as strict as Joan Crawford and I wouldn't be alive if I had disrespected my folks the way Christina in her own book admits to disrespecting her mother. Just sayin

[@tomperkins4965]

[@hebneh]

Notice how the clip of Veda in the preview at 6:40 is NOT the same shot that's used in the actual film (at 0:20), as she criticizes her mother. Previews commonly used outtakes that weren't in the final cut of the movie, and this is an excellent example of that. Not only is a completely different view of Veda, but her tone of voice is different as well.

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

You definitely notice that kind of thing in previews for Sadie McKee, The Women, Titanic (1953) to name a few.

[@SWSimpson]

I Love Joan. Didn't Joan push for Ann Blyth to get the role for Veda?

[@2getha5eva]

She did- she also coached Ann Blyth to be more bitchy and horrible when she was in character.

[@jaymesguy239]

Of course, she was dedicated, she was a fanatic! But it's still nice to know some people had exposure to the best in and of her. ;)

[@robinpratt1516]

I never understood the titles on the trailer - all that "intimate affairs of an indiscreet woman" stuff. . It's absolutely nothing about that at all !!

Giving tribute to a certified alcoholic who had terrorized and beaten her kids with wire hangers? Something is wrong with the equation.

[@JCarlosCS1221]

Will you cut that Christina Crawford crap? Please, we will never know for sure! I wouldn't trust a woman who published a book right after her mother's death like wanting to have the last word and selling the rights to make a picture! Sounds more like a money-hungry woman than a victim of abuse.

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

anunnaki2007 i dont think she was as bad as Christina made her out to be .

[@Muirmaiden]

Christopher Crawford, unlike his sister, refers to their mother by her initials "J.C." and will use expletives in describing her. Otherwise, the siblings’ view of life with mother is very similar. "She was not a mother," said Christopher, 35. A lineman with Long Island Electric, his bitterness is apparent "She was not a family. I honestly to this day do not believe that she ever cared for me." www.joancrawfordbest.com/latimes78oct29.htm

[@JCarlosCS1221]

Muirmaiden what about the younger twins she adopted later? :)

[@Muirmaiden]

In the words of Christina: ‘Cathy has been very vocal about her experience, and that’s her privilege, but there was eight years’ difference between us. She was two when I was sent to boarding school. She couldn’t have known anything about my or Chris’s experience - zip, nothing. She wasn’t there - she wasn’t even born when I was adopted.’ Also, learn about narcissistic parents and scapegoating: www.kansascity.com/news/article304620/It-isn%E2%80%99t-rare-for-parent-to-single-out-one-child-for-abuse.html
