Today the TCM cable channel starts a salute to a STAR, Joan Crawford who would be 100 years old today--below are the movies they will b showing--go to tcm.com for schedule.


Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star--a documentary

Mildred Pierce for which she won an Oscar

Torch Song This is an unbelievable movie--Joan in blackface! Joan dances! Joan sings! Joan is worried about how her legs line up! (Listen for that line!!) Joan is CAMP! Joan is unintentionally funny! That the whole "Two Faced Woman" song production wasn't cut just boggles the mind!



Spring Fever

Grand Hotel

Dancing Lady She is so clumsy and heavy footed that it is hard to believe she was ecer considered a dancer

Sadie McKee

The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937)

The Women A classic

A Woman's Face (1941)

They All Kissed the Bride

Humoresque This has to be seen for the classic ending (and the music!)

Harriet Craig In my opinion one of her best films/performances--this is a woman you don't play around with--makes Bree of Desperate Housewives look like an amateur


If you aren't familiar with Crawford, her career, her performances and what was considered a STAR in the old days here she is--she was extremely devoted to her fans and was always a star until the day she died.
