What a classy and marvelously poised woman Joan Crawford was. She was a true vision of grandeur from the time when real movie stars roamed the earth. She was so perfectly relaxed and at ease in these interviews that you just want the interview to go on endlessly. And that fabulous face of hers. Let's just say the word iconic was never more fitting than in her case. The alpha and the omega indeed. Rest in peace wherever you are, you gorgeous creature, you!

Joan crawford will never be forgotten.

This clip is from a time after the peak of Crawford's career. She didn't have a studio contract anymore and no steady supply of film rolls or income. Despite that, she looks totally put together. It likely was expensive to maintain the stylish wardrobes that she exhibits in this clip (the white outfit more than the initial dress). You got to give her a LOT of credit for never giving up. She kept herself in shape, stylishly dressed and handled the interview very professionally. A lot of celebrities these days appear to throw in the towel when their career starts to wane. Crawford definitely did not do that. I've always thought Crawford may get a bad wrap. She may not have been "mother of the the year" or the easiest person to be around. However, there is a LOT to admire about her work ethic and determination. Crawford came from nothing and was self-made. This clip shows that, despite being over 60 and with an accomplished career that was winding down, Crawford kept going.

This is a nice segment with Ms. Crawford - she's much more attractive in natural lighting and "daytime" makeup rather than the harshly accentuating appearances on TV during this same period - let's face it, not complicated, just a hard working gal who made the most the cards she got dealt in life - her simple downright sincerity in this interview, and kind of toothy grin, is really kind of endearing - all for a Pepsi bottling plant opening - ah, back in the day, good times :-) - thx for posting!

She had such a youthful inner side to her that shines through the tough exterior. I bet she was actually a very sweet person to be around, I've always felt that.

She didn’t diss anyone. He asked about her family. She mentioned the twins first because they both still lived with her and one happened to be with her at the time. So it was a natural jumping off point. Not to mention, At this point Christina and Christopher no longer lived with their mother. Besides she talked about Christina in the very next sentence, no reluctance at all. She logically assumed he meant the members of her family she was still rearing. As that’s who she was referring to in the sentence just before that question. (The twins would’ve been 15 at the time) Though to be quite honest and in my opinion from all of the first hand accounts and written records I’ve watched, read, and researched Christina was a manipulative monster and habitual liar. And Christopher had some sort of serious mental health problems so I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to talk about them if that were the case. However it obviously is not the case here. I think this is a case of projection. No offense intended.

One can be fascinated by her and the complexity of her on and off screen life and still recognize that she was a malignant narcissist who abused her children. Whatever goodness she had buried was preserved maybe only in certain screen roles. These fans want to believe this goodness is radiating in these real life clips when they’re getting a movie star mask instead.
