Love this quote:
"If you want the girl next door, go next door." -- Joan Crawford
You tell 'em, Joan!
I finally saw Sudden Fear this past year, after Alex bitching at me for 2 years straight about what a loser I was for not having seen it. Here's my post on it. If you haven't seen it: seriously, do yourself a favor and rent it. It's Crawford's master class in the old-school style of acting. She is unbeLIEVable.
I must say, I've never been big on Joan, but I will head straight to Sudden Fear on you recommendation, Sheila, as well as the one my heart is making to me right now as I gaze at that picture you posted. I love that shot! Hope you're having a great warm-up for the holidays!

Yeah - and Sudden Fear - check it out - and just watch how palpably Joan plays those high high stakes - she's fantastic - her panic and terror is REAL - and Jack Palance is TERRIFIC. Really good movie - with a great performance by Crawford. She was an acquired taste for me - but Sudden Fear converted me. :)
I might have do another "Favorite Faces" post - since you've inspired me!
