Starring Joan Crawford : the films, the fantasy, and the modern relevance of a silver screen icon / by Samuel Garza Bernstein.

Summary:

"Starring Joan Crawford is a rollicking exploration of the powerful women this iconic performer vividly brought to life in her films-and the lasting, ever-evolving impact she has had on popular culture. Having carved out a revolutionary path through the entertainment industry while relying on men-whether her studio bosses or her many husbands-as little as possible, she created a gallery of strong, assertive women who outsmarted men and refused to conform to gender expectations. In movies like Mildred Pierce, The Damned Don't Cry, Johnny Guitar, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, among many others, she played to win, becoming a lodestar for LGBT audiences, a model of feminist self-determination for women, and an unforgettable icon for everyone"-- Provided by publisher.
