Her films include Sadie McKee (1934), The Women (1939), Possessed (1947), Sudden Fear (1952), and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962). How to thank TFD for its existence?

Bob Hope once worked there and Marion Brando and Joan Crawford were among the stars spotted there enjoying hot fudge sundaes. The only fault I found in the book was on page 232, where the author has Olivia de Havilland as the sister of Joan Crawford. And in the Joan Crawford manner ("Joan's made her film again") Hermann Nitsch has staged variations on his "Orgies Mysteries Theater" many times and seems set to continue--good news, at least for factory farmers of eggs and tripe. |
