Joan Crawford - Flapper Girl

This song is fabulous and my thoughts went to Joan when I heard it so here's a little tribute to Joan Crawford's early career, c. late 1920s to mid 1930s, mostly because of the song but also because this period of her career, in my opinion, often take a back seat to the later years and since it is a personal favourite I thought it fitted quite nicely. Hope you enjoy it!

It's not fair having a crush on a woman past....If I had a time machine....I'd go back and pick this beautiful chick up, and bring her to our time. She would be worth it, so classy and elegant....drop dead beautiful.

Damn dude I was dreaming about the same thing :))

I love Joan Crawford So much!!!!!!

[@philmenges9887]

*Brilliant* job of film editing, coupled with an off-the-wall background score! There was just something _about_ Joan Crawford ... I'm sure that her oft "bad-ass" ways lent a guilty pleasure to many 'a male fans of the silver screen-from the late-20s "silents," throughout her heyday of the 30s and 40s. And Joan's glamour endured even into the Grade-B horror-flick era of the 50s/60s (where older actresses of the day went to die). I cannot imagine that anyone who has seen "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" (1962) left the theater, untouched by Joan Crawford’s gracious aura....

[@ShuShuMcJ]

This is wonderful! You so captured Joan's early years. So sweet and charming. Thank you so much for making this video. It's beautiful.

[@waynebrasler]

If you can, catch one of Joan's most interesting films, "Daisy Kenyon." What she does with that role is amazing. The film was a success but only got significant critical attention in the past few years. There is a lot going on in it and it's Crawford who really brings it alive amid an outstanding cast. The director, Otto Preminger, gave this project his thoughtful best in every way, and it shows.

[@robertosoto1370]

Im a huge Joan Crawford fan since a was 12 yrs old & eyebrows & big eyes captivated me, there is a photo of Crawford i just don't know if it was a late 50s or early 60s where she is looking at herself in a mirror in a dressing room getting ready for a show or a film , well she was wearing royal blue feathers on the left side of her hair & wearing a matching royal blue gown she must had been in her early 50s she looks absolutely Gorgeous her thick eyebrows & her big blue eyes along with shoulder pads became her trademark...

[@stevencortiella7609]

It is amazing how she knew how to change her look and give all these different type of looks, you must admit she was pretty

[@sansacro007]

Love this. My favorite period of hers.

[@TheTyranicus]

So, so lovely!

[@angierucinski5694]

So gorgeous, Crawford & Gable 😮🎇🔥🔥 Such a shame she & Valentino missed each other by just those couple of years, I think they would have been screen magic

[@andygreen1a]

I have so many of her films on dvd, she was stunningly beautiful and a fantastic actress. Captivating tribute you have made to her. Thank you

[@janetlieb2507]

Nice. This is also a reminder of what a pretty girl Joan Crawford was. That kind of gets lost in the shuffle. Nice video.

What a beutiful video.

[@ArtsyMark]

love this montage. song really fits with early joan, well done

[@arcticblonde6.334]

Wonderful video - I knew who she was of course - but I didn’t know what a huge star she was until the podcast You Must Remember This dedicated six episodes to her. I was familiar with the characature of her later image - the hard eyebrows and big shoulder pads that became fodder for parody. And the book. I had no idea what an actress she really was and how appealing she was on the screen until I started looking at clips of her old films. This was a wonderful tribute - the song is indeed wonderful. Thank you.

[@davidmcgrath3963]

nice to see something done with love & respect. Kudos and thanks.

[@telephilia]

Joan Crawford was determined that when talkies came along she would remain a big star (and did). This is unlike Clara Bow and Mary Pickford who just kind of gave up on Hollywood not long after the advent of talking pictures.

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

Bravo!!! Very well done!!

[@miriamhopkins8120]

A Beautiful video. I love Joan and I´m glad more people get to see a new side of her through this video. I love your scene selection, btw.

Lovely ! Thanks for sharing :-)

I find the music well matched with images even if it is not of the time. It's exciting and cozy. I gladly review the video several times.

que bonitos los ojos de Joan Crawford y se ve que era una chica muy picante y divertida.

[@maremare1655]

I agree, Good job Sari, I first saw your video of Jackson Brown for a dancer, and have been keeping tabs on you ever since. You have a good talent of bringing out the good and attractive of both s, ong and image. I wasn't too interested in spending the time when I saw Joan Crawford, however, I'm glad I did, the video was delightful. Keep up good work.

[@theblueangel28]

oh this is wonderful so seldom we get to enjoy her in a sweet way all your clips are fabulous!!! thank you so much

[@tammyt8306]

Of course there is only one Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, but can anyone think of any actresses today of the same caliber or close?? Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Cate Blanchette, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet and Toni Collette are probably my favs and I can see them commanding about any role they’re given.

[@philmenges9887]

I'm onboard with your list...but you left out Michelle Pfeiffer! Her acting chops really shined through in films like "Frankie and Johnny" -- then (upon turning 50), "Cheri." [The latter one will leave you in tears.]

[@tammyt8306]

@@philmenges9887 thank you, I'll def be adding Cheri to my watch list.

[@philmenges9887]

@@tammyt8306 Welcome! But I must warn you…Pfeiffer plays a turn-of-the-century (early 1900s) French courtesan who, upon reaching that “certain age” of retirement (from her “trade”), entices the 19-year-old son of an old rival (Kathy Bates). “Cheri” is actually the pet name of the young man (which fooled me). At any rate, I’d love to hear your feedback on this film!

[@oldhatcinema]

This tribute is an exceptional piece of work. What else can I say?

[@matthewfriend8448]

I too had forgotten how lovely she looked all those years ago - before the eyebrows took over and she became hardened I guess because she could no longer get the work she so loved.

[@irisdainter6507]

Quality Quality Quality.

[@MichelSarmento]

The video is really good but that music 🎵 doesn’t go well with a 1920s-30s footage

[@tedwatson9929]

Thanks Sara!

[@dannilevil]

So beautiful, love this stage of her career, I'm sure she would've looked lovely in her later years if she didn't try to look young and over do her eyebrows and make up. Nevertheless was so beautiful and talented, that's why we still talk about her today

[@funkster007]

She has shown her more natural look when she appeared on The Lucy Show in the mid 60's. No extra makeup. Very charming and cute. But otherwise yeah, the thick eyebrows and heavy makeup gave off a creepy vibe.

she was so beautiful. I wonder what happened to her face in later years. She looked like a different person as an older woman.

[@kellythomson8564]

It was her eyebrows she made them dark and big that's what made her look so much different, also her shoulder pads

[@missyglittervlogs3543]

Kelly Thomson yep,she was the First Lady to wear Shoulder pads! Because she had such broad shoulders I believe!

[@kellythomson8564]

I think your right

yes i think your right about that she always said she had big shoulders

[@roslyndecanio81]

Big mistake to darken her eyebrows as she got older. Joan was very beautiful and very feminine in her younger years!!She had a great chemistry with Clark Gable.

[@nikalest2846]

Roslyn Decanio probably because they were truly in love for decades, 30 plus years ♥️
