Joan Crawford Trivia
|
- Her final words before dying were quoted as being "Damn it . . . Don't you dare ask God to help me." which was said to her housekeeper, who had begun to pray aloud.
- Because Joan was bullied and shunned at Stephens College by the other students due to her poor homelife, she answered every single piece of fanmail she received in her lifetime except those from former classmates at Stephens.
- One of the original MGM Contract Stars from the studio's early period.
- In her final years at MGM, Crawford was handed weak scripts in the hopes that she'd break her contract. Two films she hungered to appear in were "Random Harvest" (1942) and "Madame Curie" (1943). Both films went to bright new star Greer Garson instead, and Crawford left the studio soon after.
- Her 1933 contract with MGM was so detailed and binding, it even had a clause in it indicating what time she was expected to be in bed each night.
