I know she wasn't perfect, but does anyone else believe the media embellished the short comings of this beautiful, talented, and generous actress. The woman had a big heart. Enough so that she adopted multiple children who could have done alot worst than Joan Crawford. Posted over a year ago

Hi all, i have just joined here this morning (Ireland). I have looked everywhere for Joan's filmes and cannot find them, the ones i'm most interested in. I'm dying to see "The story of Esther Costello" and some of her later ones. I remember when Esther Costello was released i wasn't allowed go to see it as i was too young and innocent i guess. Does anyone know where i can see it? I'm not joining all those movie sites and signing up with them. Delighted to have found this club. Posted over a year ago

No matter what her children or others may say about her personally, she is one of the best atrizes of all time. I am watching Mildred Pierce for the umpteenth time and I see something great about her atuação every time I watch it. She must of been a deeply emotional person to give such depth to her acting. She may have had a mental illness as many do, so her personal life may have been difficult and not entirely her fault. Only Kate Winslet (latest Mildred Pierce) has that depth. Go Kate.
