| Summary: | "Film historian and New York Times bestselling biographer Scott Eyman has written the biography of Hollywood icon Joan Crawford, drawing on never-before-seen documents and photos from the Crawford estate. Joan Crawford burst out of her poverty-stricken youth to become a bright young movie star in the 1920's, drawing the admiration of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the attention of audiences worldwide. She flourished for decades, working for multiple studios in every genre from romance to westerns (Mildred Pierce, Johnny Guitar), musicals to noir (Torch Song, A Woman's Face), and being directed by a young Steven Spielberg in one of her last appearances. Along the way she accumulated four husbands, an Academy Award for Best Actress, and the undeniable status of a legend. Joan Crawford: A Woman's Face looks at the reality of this woman through the prism of primary research, interviews with friends and relatives, and with the same analysis of character and motive that author Scott Eyman brought to John Wayne and Cary Grant, among others"-- Provided by publisher. |
