News about Joan Crawford

Oscar bosses have sparked eyebrows by releasing an 83rd birthday tribute to the actress, which includes only clips from her infamous 1981 film Mommie Dearest's. Fans of the actress also accused the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of taunting Dunaway with its choice of the over-the-top Joan Crawford biopic, which the actress is known to loathe and forbids interviewers from mentioning. 'She will hate this so much,' One wrote underneath.' Christina Crawford's adopted daughter Christina, who accused her mother of violence, was the subject of a big-budget film. But audiences howled with laughter, and it has since become a camp staple.

Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, screen stars, may have been able to Feud on screen, but the longtime collaborators remained chuffed as they ate their meal in New York on Sunday.

The ability to alter a person's chest by breast augmentation — or more commonly known as a "boob job" in our society — has long been a staple. People of all walks of life and professions are finding a once-taboo, often out-of-reach procedure for the elite. Take it from me: I've had two of them. It's true. I've had two boob jobs in my life, and I knew that one day I'd want to get them done. I was the girl who reached puberty at a young age, and although I suspected seemingly everyone around me blossomed into young women, I felt like the sign of my acceptance into womanhood never arrived. I wanted to fit into bras, not feel embarrassed that I didn't have a swimsuit top on my 21st birthday, and forget about the time my crush referred to as 'boyish' and 'flat as a wall'. I just wanted something that made me feel and see my femininity, to feel comfortable and confident in my own body. And I know that I was not alone in that feeling.

On Tuesday, a glamorous film actress disguised her good looks while filming on New York City's streets.

Hollywood actresses were considered over the hill at 30, 'washed up old b*tches,' in Jack Warner's insulting term, and they were left with no alternative but to deny their pride and play variations of Miss Havisham in her rotting wedding dress. Just pulchritude ensured major gains, according to the studio's chieftains. The film historian Caroline Young explains how the no-longer-youthful actors were traditionally portrayed as 'the old crone in a creepy house' in her elegant and polemical book (bottom right). They'd be put in wheelchairs and surrounded by cats, whether they be killed by nees or homicidal rabbits. One example of this is the 1962 film, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Bette Davis and Joan Crawford (left in character) are 'forgotten relics and bizarre caricatures of the women they once were'. Bette (left in top right picture) dresses in little-girl frocks and white clown make-up. On a silver platter for dinner, Joan (right in top right picture) is shackled in an iron cot and served with a rat.

Femail takes you inside one of New York City's most exclusive private social clubs that have been shrouded in secrecy since their inception in the Gilded Age. The Union Club (inset) is Manhattan's oldest private club that still prohibits female participation. It sparked a scandal during the Civil War. Dwight Eisenhower, Ulysses S. Grant, William Randolph Hearst, John Jacob Astor, and Cornelius Vanderbilt are among the notable figures of the years. Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, and Liza Minelli are among the famous actors to have jumped on players. It was established in 1888 by Edwin Booth, a well-known Shakespearian actor who was the older brother of the man who fired President Abraham Lincoln. The assassin's portrait is also on display in the club's upper living quarters. The Colony (inset) is NYC's oldest female-only group established by Astors, Morgans, and Whitneys. Husbands and visiting male guests were once relegated to 'the strangers room.' Later, as Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's 50th Birthday at the clubhouse, he ordered four of his guests to be wiretapped. The River Club is so discreet and exclusive that it has forbidden the use of its name in the media, and it has refused to honor Gloria Vanderbilt, Richard Nixon, and Joan Crawford as members.

It's A Wonderful Life, a Christmas film that has long stood up to time, has long been around for decades.
