Close Up: Joan Crawford (A Story of Billie and Lucille)

Who do you picture in your mind's eye when you think of Joan Crawford? Take a moment (or rather, 48 minutes or so) in this special Close Up episode of The Old Movie Lady Podcast to focus on the earliest days in the life and career of the woman who would become one of the most ambitious, iconic, and controversial figures in Old Hollywood. From little girl scrubbing floors, to dancer, to the Wampas list of 1926, to movie star, this is a story Billie and Lucille. This episode contains mention of child abuse (including sexual abuse, not detailed), sexual harassment and assault, and (mild) language that may be inappropriate for some listeners. Hosted on Acast.
