Scott Eyman Discusses His Latest Book - Joan Crawford: A Woman's Face

Описание: ⭐Scott Eyman Discusses His Latest Book - Joan Crawford: A Woman's Face⭐

🍿This episode dives into Joan Crawford’s craft and career through an interview with author Scott Eyman about the book Joan Crawford: A Woman’s Face. We trace her trajectory from Texas/Kansas poverty to chorus-line gigs, and then to an MGM contract, where she learned by watching greats—especially Lon Chaney in The Unknown (1927) —and honed her fierce concentration and presence. Directors discussed include George Cukor (a favorite), Clarence Brown, and collaborators Michael Curtiz, Nicholas Ray, and Robert Aldrich, with on-set professionalism underscored during the filming of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. The conversation spans silent and pre-Code eras, MGM musicals, mid-career drama, and late-period “horror-hag” roles, arguing her audience aged with her because she continually refined a resilient, lower-class-to-self-made persona. Notable elements include her refusal of plastic surgery, reliance on lighting/camera to manage age, and a third-act reinvention tied to Baby Jane. The result is a three-dimensional portrait—flaws, generosity, controversies, and all.🍿
