Joan Of Art

Some celebrities have 'one hit wonders,' others are the hardest working people in Hollywood. Joan Crawford was a workaholic, sincerely dedicated to her craft. While Hollywood was in its infancy, Joan Crawford was there just about from the very beginning. From silent to talkies, from black and white to color, from the stage to the big screen to television, for more than fifty years was not afraid of the camera, and appreciated her fans like no other star before or since.

Although dead for almost forty years, the legend of Joan Crawford lives on. There are websites and internet groups that are dedicated to her contributions to the film industry, the art of celebrity, and commercial appeal. There are artists who are inspired by her timeless 'look,' and authors inspired to write chapters about the character and human being known as Joan Crawford, and she lives through the stories still being written for her and about her today.

Personally, I consider the legend as a living work of art. This is one of my little online spots dedicated to the art of Joan Crawford.

Throughout her more than fifty year of employment in the film industry, Joan Crawford always took her name seriously, cared enormously for her fans, and understood where she stood in the scheme of life. She worked for everything she got. The movie, "I Live My Life," is one example of the art of Joan Crawford.

Looking back throughout Joan Crawford's public domain information and files, one can see the beauty of her brand as her name transcends from one product to another. In the beginning, it was not unusual for her to be working on three to six movies during the course of one year, plus public appearances, interviews, training, and more. Joan Crawford is one of the first celebrities to knit her way through the movies. There are articles about her sharing favorite recipes, latch hooking rugs, designing her own hats and dresses.
