I connected very much with all the work of Joan Crawford because she started as a flapper. She used to dance and sing and she was very cute. She had something that was so different from what she is at the end of her life and she started in the silent movies and then went into the talkies.
I watch an awful lot of old Hollywood movies - I'll devour anything with Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. My absolute favourite is 'Sunset Boulevard' starring Gloria Swanson.
To be playing Joan Crawford is as good as it gets.
There's is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money.
There may be a heaven, but if Joan Crawford is there, I'm not going.
It's weird, because American films in the 1930s and '40s, particularly melodramas, were made for woman, from Bette Davis to Joan Crawford to Barbara Stanwyck to Katherine Hepburn, and for some reason we've taken a step backward in this sense.
A Joan Crawford dress looks really good on an hourglass figure.
I wouldn't piss on Joan Crawford if she were on fire.
The Joan Crawford that I've heard about in 'Mommie Dearest' is not the Joan Crawford I knew back when.
I get up at seven for the make-up, Rita Hayworth at six, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis at five. I don’t want to know the time when I’ll have to come to the studio even earlier.
As a human being, Joan Crawford is a great actress.
Many years ago, I had the pleasure of editing a book by Joan Crawford, who, like Norma Desmond, was still a big star; it was just the movies that had gotten smaller.
I think that the work that Bette Davis and Joan Crawford did was truly extraordinary, and that's their legacy. Not the other petty stuff.
Joan Crawford is a movie queen. I had never met one before. I know now what I don't want to be.
I love the 'Mildred Pierce' miniseries.
