Joan Crawford's Secret Old Hollywood Diet Uncovered

Ойын-сауық

Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing Joan Crawford's old Hollywood diet.
There is an old article from the January 1929 issue of American magazine Photoplay. The article is titled Diet - The Menace of Hollywood. The writer Katherine Albery explains why eating like Joan Crawford and other period stars could be problematic.
'Diet!,' Albert writes. 'It has put one world-famous star in her grave, has caused the illness of many others, has wrecked careers and has become, largely through its practice in Hollywood, the Great American Menace!'
Albery compares the Holywood diet to a correct diet complied by one Dr. Willis 'from works of the most famous authorities on a diet'. The old Hollywood diet has a zero-calorie breakfast consisting of clear soup and two saltine crackers and a quarter of a pound of tomatoes for lunch totaling 138 calories. For dinner, the 1929 Hollywood diet consists of cottage cheese, two ounces of pineapple, and a glass of buttermilk, bringing the total calorie count for the day to a meager 305 calories. By contrast, the doctor recommended diet that will have you drop two and three pounds per week includes roast beef lunches and a breakfast of scalloped cod and stewed tomatoes.
THE HOLLYWOOD STAR DIET*
Breakfast:
A cup of hot water (calories - 0)
Luncheon:
8 tablespoons of consomme (13Kcal)
Two saltine crackers (100Kcal)
1/4lb tomatoes (25Kcal)
Dinner:
Cottage cheese (50Kcal)
2oz pineapple (50Kcal)
One glass buttermilk (67Kcal)
Total: 305
* Don't try this at home
Later in life, Joan Crawford had a series with Vogue magazine called "A Second Fame: Good Food," a series she authored for Vogue in the 1960s.
Vogue documented all of Joan Crawford's favorite foods, and Ugli fruit, a citrus fruit typically grown in Jamaica, was reportedly the actress's favorite fruit. Despite the exotic nature of this snack, the recipes Crawford shared in her Vogue interview remind us of a lot of down-home cooking: a spinach salad topped with bacon, a kidney bean salad, and boiled beef flanks.
Joan Crawford's Fried Apple Rings
4 green apples
¼ pound margarine or butter
Lemon juice
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Brown sugar
Core and slice apples into thick rings, but do not peel. Sprinkle with lemon juice-heat margarine or butter in skillet. Fry apples first on one side, then the other, until brown but not mushy. This is a matter of a very few minutes. While frying, sprinkle top sides of apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar to taste. Keep warm until all are done.
While working on a film, Crawford divided breakfast into two mini-meals. Shortly after waking up, she would have a piece of fruit and a cup of tea. An hour or two later, in her dressing room at the studio, she'd have a hard-boiled egg, bacon, or sausage-a protein blast before strutting onto the set and getting down to business. When not working, Texas dame Joan was known to enjoy a plate of huevos rancheros with hot sauce.
Joan Crawford's devotion to the first meal of the day was such that it was the last thing she ever did. Literally: One May morning in 1977, Crawford rose to make breakfast for her housekeeper and a fan who'd stayed over the previous night. She went back to bed to watch her morning soap operas and called out to the two women to eat the meal she had just prepared. Those were her last words.

"Fued" was so good but there are some great documentaries and interviews about them here on KZread. 😊 P.S. ooh I just remembered that A&E biography series is a good one about so many of old Hollywood and I'm fascinated with that, I don't have much of the same passion as I do for classic Hollywood. Cheers everyone, hope you are all having a beautiful day!! 😍

    I love fried apples but forgo the lemon juice due to an allergy. Growing up in the 80s my family used to eat cottage cheese at dinner with peaches or berries on it actually. It wasn’t weird to us and I do not hate cottage cheese. I eat spinach salad every week but not with bacon because I’m a pescatarian. The way these people ate is so amazing to me, I could never be ok eating pork chops or beef or a boiled egg. I guess I eat weirdly compared to others, I like sugar. I like ugly fruit though. Yummy

    You do several diets but I would like to share a tour of universal studios back stage in California in the nineties. I saw a vending machine for actors or in studio people filled with oranges, apples, small portions of carrots, little tea sandwiches all things healthy that had compartments you just lifted and took along with water or juice. We went back to the public side and the vending machine had snickers, Doritos, Coke’s and all things junk food along with prices to put in the vending machine.
