That woman had the guts to create a persona - out of very little but talent and ambition. The ultimate movie-star. Brava! Mesmeric. She could act, dance, sing etc. What more do you want? Shame her personal life was so sad, but that was the penalty she paid.
@@chrisallen7911 Yes you're right . Just today I had a conversation with my dad about a movie he was watching on Netflix... at the end of our conversation he told me that they can't make anymore movies or show's the way they did before .
Pink and charcoal gray were a BIG color combination of that era. ESPECIALLY for men. It was in fact, the introduction of the 'pink shirt' as a staple in mainstrean male attire.
I have heard that when she sort of "sings a long" with the phonograph record in the "Tenderly" scene it is actually Joan herself - don't know if that's true, it's awfully hard to tell - but at any rate Joan's own singing voice was not bad at all, they could have used more of her own singing rather than have India Adams do all of the numbers -
Look at joans clothes. They are designer. Her clothes are simple but exceptionally well cut. This is why they don't look so dated afyer all these years. Her Jewelry could easily be something found in Neimans today.
When her grandmother listen to the music of the greatest torch singer, her voice was dubbed by India Adams. We want to know from TCM's and Filmstruck's Alicia Malone why that movie made that musical number before it was the cinema's biggest ideas before it was a disappointment when torch Song plays before the Classic Film Festival is back to normal.
India Adams is the record playing, but if you listen closely, it's Joan singing along. The vibrato isn't as strong and if you listen to the video of Joan singing "follow me", you can tell.
@koln1996 For some reason, THAT video has a copyright issue... I did post it. That version of the song is not Joan singing, and I guess it's marketed, and they won't allow it to be uploaded.
Absolutely! Top-notch tailoring. What also impresses me about her is how impossibly thin she managed to remain throughout her career. So much so that even the less stellar outfits she was made to wear for a specific non-glamorous role, automatically looked absolutely stunning on her. She was a breathing mannequin and her discipline and dedication/devotion to her star image was a marvel unto itself.
It was no secret that Joan Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor detested each other. Joan called Elizabeth 'Princess Brat' and she had Elizabeth barred from visiting her 2nd husband Michael Wilding at the MGM film set because Joan found Liz's visits 'one too many' and very distracting from what Joan was doing on set. In retaliation, Liz told one reporter: "My husband is making his first and last movie with Joan." Also she told another reporter: "I'm glad that Michael's playing the part of the blind pianist so he won't have to look at Joan through the entire movie." 🤣🤣🤣
