In 1943, Joan Crawford left her home at MGM for Warner Bros., where she won an Oscar for Mildred Pierce and also a variety of roles to greater acclaim than ever before. I find her courage in the face of sexism and aging tremendously inspiring. And, I wonder how far anyone might have gone with a fraction of her drive and ambition.
Here is an excerpt from Crawford at Warners, my documentary for Warner Home Video's DVD of Flamingo Road. You can see it as "enhanced content" on The Joan Crawford Collection Vol. 2.
