Joan Crawford MEGA MIX

[Guest jeffOH]

OK, HUGE queer here!! As much as I LOVED Faye Dunaway's take on Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, there's no GREATER tribute to MISS Crawford, than Dan-o-rama's video. FYI, I read that Lucy was VERY irritated with Joan Crawford's performance on her show in which she was supposed to be doing The Charleston. Allegedly, Lucy was SO frustrated with Joan's dance steps that she openly critiqued Joan and wanted to cut her dance number with Gail Gordon saying that, 'this is how you got into show business and you can't even dance."

Lucille Ball had to be talked out of firing Crawford, when Lucy realized that Crawford was drinking on the set.

 

When could be more fitting than to have a former B movie star, but now head of a studio (Lucy, not Bette Davis) almost fire Crawford from a TV sit com. IMO Joan Crawford was the most over rated star in Hollywood, with an artificial personality readily apparent during her talk show appearances.

Miss Lucille was quite a drunk herself. And a terror on her sets. She gave everyone line readings, including the great Richard Burton, prompting Miss Taylor to call her "Miss Cunt" -- to her face.

 

Forthcoming bio of Miss Crawford largely focused on her screwing and muff diving, which she apparently did with equal abandon (including a tryst with Marilyn Monroe). Joan liked big dicks (no wonder gay men made up most of her friends.) Gary Cooper and Franchot Tone are described as "two handers," a new term to me. Gable, the love of her life, had a teenie-weenie.

Ball had two huge advantages over Crawford:

 

1. "I Love Lucy"

 

The series will always be considered a landmark TV show, given it's

ratings, awards, reruns and DVD releases and, above all, invention of the modern sit com.

 

Crawford's only landmark movie was "Grand Hotel." She was wonderful in the film, but was not the star.

 

2. Ball was very rich and left most of her money to her two children.

She was a better mother than Crawford, but not by much. But Lucie and Desi Jr. do not need money, so have no financial need to write a "Mommy Dearest" book about Lucy.
