About Me

born to severe poverty and domestic unrest, she pulled herself up by her bra straps through hard work and determination. "Self-improvement" was her watch-word.facing the world with the sort of determination not seen since Joan Crawford in Flamingo Road... like so many americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.

"I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but the pain of it is a positive pleasure to me. Each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next."
-Mahatma Gandhi

a tribute to j.c. on the 29th anniversary of her death

I know it sounds odd, but somehow I didn't believe that Joan Crawford could ever die. She was the perfect image of the movie star and, as such, largely the creation of her own indomitable will. She ...
