This glamorous and hugely popular actress raised herself from brutal poverty to Academy Award winning stardom by sheer guts, determination and hard work. In a career that spanned fifty-years Joan Crawford made over eighty films. But her obsessive perfectionism, ever present in her later films, led to a damaging reputation that painted her as a caricature of coat-hanger-wielding harridan that even tainted the adoration of her many fans. Still, Crawford has endured as one of the most
popular of Hollywood icons and remains a role model to young women who aspire to her image of stylish magnetic power and unquestioned independence.
