Glamorous and hugely popular Joan Crawford raised herself from brutal poverty to Academy Award-winning stardom by guts determination and hard work. During her fifty-year career she made over eighty films. But her obsessive perfectionism led to the later caricature of coat-hanger-wielding harridan that even the adoration of fans could not counter. Still she has endured as one of the most popular icons of the movies an early role model to a million young women who aspired to her image of stylish magnetic power and unquestioned independence.
