A Portrait of Joan: The Autobiography of Joan Crawford

A Portrait of Joan (1962, Doubleday) Joan Crawford Steele with Jane Kesner Ardmore

Description: 239 pages. Joan's somewhat sanitized autobiography.

Sample Text:
Then one day on Sadie I was rehearsing a scene where I have to walk up to a table, pick up a film magazine and glance casually through its pages. Just as the director said, "Action," I started to read. DOUG AND I ARE MARRIED THE MODERN WAY, SAYS JOAN CRAWFORD - in bold, black print. It happened to be two years old, that story. I'd let myself go in the interview as I had many times because, growing up publicly, I believed I owed my private thoughts, my life and emotions to the public who'd been so kind to me. I asked Clarence Brown if I might have a minute to adjust my make-up before the take. What I adjusted was my emotions. I clenched my jaw, determined that I'd never be quoted again on anything pertaining to my personal life that I might live to regret.
