the magnetism of her beauty , the voice, a Queen .

A true movie star the likes that we will never see again.

She was a true legend!

I AM 80 AND WHEN I WAS IN MY EARLY TWENTIES I GOT TO MEET MS. CRAWFORD ON THE SET OF "THE CARETAKERS"...WHY? BECAUSE MY FATHERS FRIEND WAS THE FATHER OF HALL BARTLETT THE DIRECTOR..IT WAS FILMED ON THE OLD RKO STUDIOS WHICH WAS THEN CALLED DESILU STUDIOS...SHE WAS MOST KIND TO A HICK FROM THE MID WEST....NO "I AM A STAR" ACT AT ALL.

I hope you're doing well, Jim. Thank you for commenting. It's not everyday we get to hear from someone who was actually, on the set with a great star like Joan Crawford. It gives me a certain thrill to reply to you. I wonder what part of the mid west you are from. I lived in Wisconsin for 10 years and enjoyed the people a great deal.

If Joan Crawford were the age she is here today and looking and sounding like that, she would be getting terrific parts in movies and on Netflix etc. Yet in the sixties they rarher abandoned virtually all their old stars who were reduced to budget horror films or nothing. Joan is mesmerising here. This is a star, her screen presence, her diction, her command, are all superb. She gives really interesting and revealing answers, none of which he seems to follow up.

I totally agree. I can't understand why they wouldn't give an actor of her caliber good scripts that would really sell a picture. It baffles me.

Now that's a movie star 🌟

Joan's words about how people should be again is so current to this day. Thus is an old clip but it all still means the same value. I loved this interview. Thank you so much for this. Joan Crawford is an amazing woman.

She was so beautiful and this era these ppl all gone but never forgotten. Class and elegance which just doesn’t seem to be here anymore :(

I couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t know what ever happened to ladies acting ladylike and gentlemen being gentlemanly. Especially with the stars. Joan radiated class, beauty and what a lady should be.

She spoke so articulately and eloquently. She was a pleasure to hear. And Herr words about anger in the world....fabulous

I love she gives Tallulah props here!!

WOW! "Everybody knows too much about stars nowadays...there's no more glamour...we know we all have problems...but who cares? And why put it in somebody else's lap?" Oh my gosh! She'd flip in her grave if she saw "stars" now. lol. I wish this interview would pop up in every celebrity's twitter/instagram feed now.

She called Bette Davis a fascinating actress. So was she. Two very consummate, talented, extremely professional women who gave their sweat and tears to their careers. I am grateful to both of them for the impeccable legacy they left in the art of acting and move making.

I think she must be under so much pressure during her life. She was so grateful and talented but the under score is believable that she was to fall. She did her best both professional and personally. It was what it was. RIP Joan

I agree Mrs Crawford...no more glamour in Hollywood,classy women ......

I have a great respect for anyone who can publicly admit they were wrong about something. So many people struggle with that even when they're not famous, and can do it in private.

Her voice and diction were superior

Fantastic interview. Joan Crawford was a legendary actress who was always interesting. Her extraordinary beauty is obvious but there was so much more to her. I could watch and listen to her all day long.

We shall not see her like again , truly amazing

What a fantastic interview! It's a shame that interviewers now focus on sordid gossip, sex lives, twitter drama, and fashion rather than on the gift of acting and remarkable scenes.

I love her in What Happened to Baby Jane. I even love her voice,too.

im so obsessed with joan crawford. she’ll always be my favorite. class, style, grace and talent. true icon. ❤️🤩 literally hollywood royalty.

She was one of the best leading ladies of all time!🤗👏

If she thought the world needed that back then…she wouldn’t want to see the world now would she? She was lucky to live in that era. Luckier than she would ever know.

Joan was a star in every sense of the word. Her voice is so unique. I could listen to her read a phone book.

She was Brilliant..Hollywood royalty. She breathed acting . In 2020 world she would of been an acting instructor #prefectionist

What a lady ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for this. JC is beauty, elegance and class personified here. Yet totally honest and down to earth. She comes across as a very warm and lovely lady. Thank you for all these gems you bring us on your channel.

' The world is so angry' well nothing's changed !!!!2019!!!!

JC was always lavish with 2 things: criticism of herself, and praise of others.

It was unfair how hollywood those days treated her towards the end of her career, unlike today where Jane Fonda is still active and acting. Furthermore Joan Crawford looked stunning in this interview.

Joan Crawford will forever be among the greatest female actors in American film history.

There is NO comparison to the female "stars" today. Joan Crawford puts them to shame in this interview. Restrained elegance.

Misunderstood. Very beautiful. She didn't suffer a fool. Classy chick.

I have been enjoying Joan Crawford movies. She was a wonderful actress. Worked hard. Anything else she did was due to being a top star. Unlike most actors today she was genuinely great.

Total class.

She is utterly mesmerising

She spoke very fond of Bette davis I don't believe they had a feud people spread rumors lies specially about motion picture stars.

Loved her voice and laugh .when actresses had class!!!

Joan Crawford would hate the way things are in Hollywood today. The glamour is gone. Joan looks so beautiful and elegant in this interview.

Joan Crawford was a tough broad but that was because life made her that way. I truly respected her work ethic, how she led and conducted herself during her career . she had an incredible work ethic and she was a great actress. She created herself to become a lady and a great star! And who respected all the support from her fans. they simply do not make them like that, she was one of a kind and may she rest in peace. Thank you for keeping her memory alive.

I found one of the most endearing moments in the interview was Joan's admission that she didn't get beyond grade five and had to look up certain words in scrips and learn how to pronounce them. This was laying bare her vulnerability publically. She was a consummate, nuanced thespian.

She looks lovely, and most likely to be classicly trained actress.😘

I was captivated by this interview. I think I will go back and start watching some of her old films. I think I have only seen two.

This was fascinating, thank you. What an incredible women Joan was and beautiful too.

One thing people don’t often think about with Joan is that she made it through every single phase of the film industry progression, beginning as a dancer, studio contract player, made it from silent to talkies, then reinvented herself every single decade. In fact she may be the only female star to do so. A true original movie star,🌟 She was a huge influence on me as far as her glamour and style bc I’ve watched her films since I was a kid.

Joan Crawford and her elegant died with her. Never seem a more gracious woman since.

Miss Joan Crawford made lots of movies in her actress career. She loved acting. She would've enjoyed her retirement a lot sweeter had she done so. She ran her course. She just wasn't ready to give up the spotlight. Always wanting to be top actresses and surly didn't want to deal the fact she was getting older. RIP Miss Crawford

Joan nailed it when she said we need to get back to making romantic movies again. It applied then at this interview time and now. And she said she’s no Cinderella not putting herself out to be the perfect person. What a wonderful and humble lady .

Very intriguing lady.

She was so beautiful

A great great actress... Nothing of this from actresses in films today... Women of Joan Crawford, Katherine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwick and Marilyn Monroe were very strong women. “Tallulah Bankhead” my god... So much money to be made or lost I loved Joan’s response of “So much talent to be lost too.” I alI hope someone in present Hollywood will pay attention. This interview os a gem.

She made herself a star in the grand manner ..a glorious woman...and a romantic..she had a big heart and I wish I could of met her in her new york residence especially while Franchot was there.

What a Great Lady!!! This interview is very honest and real. I love Joan Crawford so much!!!!!! Thanks for this, B. I just have to see it ever so often. :)

SHE LOOKS SOOOOOOO FUCKING GOOD!!!! I can with that face

First time i’ve seen Crawford interviewed. What a lady. And considering the difficulties with Barrymore she had on the balcony scene, well she overcame them remarkably and made a classic scene in cinema

I really enjoyed watching this video of her...she's got such beautiful features, and she's very well spoken.

And she didn't even get an 8th grade education. She taught herself.

They can say what they like about Joan Crawford, But she had Class considering her background!

It's always great to see interviews with Joan Crawford. I hope that everyone who watched that piece of garbage "Feud" will see the real Crawford in these clips. She was obviously a capable, articulate human being; not that sad wreck that Jessica Lang and Ryan Murphy would have one believe.

I love how she mixes the real Crawford with the actress. Would have love to have seen the behind the scenes Crawford.

She had an amazing. film career full of Oscar winning caliber moments . Whatever she may have been like in her personal life , it shouldn't taint her career

We will never see a MORE GLAMOROUS, MORE PROFESSIONAL, MORE ENTERTAINING, Hollywood ever again....

That's a fckuing brilliant interview! Crawford comes across quite sweet, cunning and genuine. If you look closely though you can sometimes see the contempt and arrogance shimmering in her eyes and the hypocrisy behind her sometimes too spontaneous smiles. She was one calculating lady and a great actress at that!

Dear Joan Crawford your fans love you .

As soon as she's thinking about her response, the smile goes, the eyes go sad & she looks depressed. Then she looks back at him & it's full on smile & lit up eyes. Interesting.

Her face is perfection and she is all class. Love her voice, too.

She is a great actress the intensity of her eyes She was able to deliver a lines without saying a words

Don't talk to me about self respect That's something you tell yourself you've got when you've nothin else

Joan Crawford was so delightful in this interview. She worked her way up to a long, dazzling career. What a lady!

Joan Crawford 💕💐💖💐💕

Loved watching this! Especially when she talks about Bette Davis! Brilliant!

Brilliant interviewer.

Such an elegant woman

She was so beautiful and awesome, pure class. She looks so pretty with her hair lighter. Such an elegant woman.

That was nice what she said about Elizabeth Taylor

Joan is such a tremendous star. I forgot how soft and lovely she looked in her younger years.

Love her. Gifted talented smart one of the greatest

Wonderful closing scene of Joan Crawford after a most interesting and insightful interview.

Stunning

My favorite actress of all time. I think she is much better than Bette Davis. I think about all the plastic surgery of today, would Joan of indulged? Joan would look so much more attractive without those dark, heavy eyebrows. A very beautiful woman indeed. Thank you for continuously posting new or (old) unseen footage of Joan.

I think Joan would have indulged with the big plastic surgery nightmare. Wrinkles and possibly facelifts. I like her eyebrows. I guess because we’ve seen all the plucked, tiny, straight line eyebrows for a long time during that age and time. I hated when my daughters would pluck too much of their eyebrows during the 90’s etc...I liked Brooke shields natural beauty. Now, we have the regular to big eyebrows back. It’s all just a big circle of life. All of the fads and trends come back around. I do enjoy that part of it. I prefer all the women through the past. We had real life beauties! Today, women thrive to change their looks, as in plastic surgery. Big, bulbous breasts that are very unnatural; nose jobs, fat blown up lips, wigs, ass implants, chin implants....etc....they change every aspect of their faces. They lose their real beauty. They are doing these things in their teens and twenties. I don’t understand that or the parents allowing it at a young age. So many beautiful women, have destroyed their looks and don’t think of what they will look like as they really age. Ex: Michael Jackson destroyed his handsome looks. He went too far. Kim kardashian ruined her natural Armenian look. Kylee Jenner has tried to look like the Armenian sisters, instead of focusing on her natural cute girl next door look. She now looks older and like a tramp. The mother is to blame for much of this. I’d never advertise & push for the sex tapes of her daughter. This could go on and on. It’s okay to be unique....to show your natural beauty.....

The heavy eyebrows only came during the later period of her life&movies. Watch her early movies where she's 20-40something, and you'll not see them 🙂

Fascinating! I love her commentary about stars keeping their business private and "who cares?" How prolific!

Amazing woman and actress! My goodness was she exceptional!!! A genius of acting!!!

Joan tells the TRUTH with her simple but significant words at the beginning of this short doc.and in the coarse of it..... I love all these old clips and what she has to say about the past and her past.

She is so Beautiful , Classic , Genius and Funny ........... She is Royalty and Legend 👑😍😭

Bryan, I am just eating this up! What a good interview with clips to highlight this marvelous career Joan had. Bravo!

Became a fan after Cristina's book/movie . Absolutely amazing woman 💗

As much as there’s this cloud of her abusive behaaviour abt her, I cannot dislike her when I se her in interviews. I wonder if she’s acting ‘real’, or really is/was that humble and classy...?

The Perfectionist that she was, it makes you wonder if they gave her the script for the interview. Great Actress, "Legend" but of course.

What a strikingly beautiful woman.

She’s right though. The world can use more love on the big screen! Definitely more romance films are needed.

No other description besides EXCELLENT FITS JOAN AND BETTY . GENUINE ACTRESSES!!❤❤❤

Dear, I'll never get tired of saying this: Thank you so much for sharing this. I adore u. XOXO.

What a grand lady!

Loved it. What a star she was.

SHe is wearing a beautiful necklace

Anyone who thinks she wasn't a real actress only a movie star is wrong wrong wrong she was both to the hilt,amazing

I just love Joan Crawford one of Golden Hollywood great actresses ever had they sure don't make them like this anymore...A TRUE LEGEND...HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY.
