Donna Nowak loves and adores Joan Crawford and grew up watching Joan Crawford films on television. She is a freelance writer
and cartoonist, adores Golden Age mysteries and movies, and lives in New York City. Donna's "special" Joan film
is "They All Kissed the Bride," although her top favorite Joan film is probably "Mildred Pierce." She
has a website devoted to Joan (who else?)
Favorite Joan Crawford Films (so hard to choose): Mildred Pierce; A Woman's Face; Humoresque; Letty Lynton; The Bride
Wore Red; Flamingo Road; The Damned Don't Cry. Torch Song, Strait-Jacket and Female on the Beach are not-so-guilty favorites,
too! All Joan films are my favorites if I want it that way.

Peter Joseph Swanson

Peter Joseph Swanson is a novelist and artist who is often inspired by Joan Crawford because he feels she is one of the important
American icons of the 20th century. She not only was the face of Hollywood from the Silent Days to the 60s, but she also
became the first business woman superstar by putting Pepsi on the map.
Favorite Joan Crawford Films: Peter does not think that any one film pins Joan down. She was always evolving, and was
a far greater actress than most of her scripts called for. That said, FEMALE ON THE BEACH was delicious hokum that is usually
near the top of Peter's list of favorite Joan pleasures.

Robert Bertrand

As with so many people, Robert was introduced to classic film as a child when he watched 'The Wizard of Oz' on television.
That one magic film sparked a passion for Golden Age motion pictures that thrives strongly with him still.
Robert's introduction to Joan came years later, ironically, with the film "Mommie Dearest." The scandalous tale
prompted him to seek the other side of Joan's story and resulted with a great fondness of the star. The first Joan film Robert
saw was "Mildred Pierce," and while it remains one of his most loved, Joan's films from the 1930s are his absolute
favorites. "Sadie McKee," "Chained," "Possessed" and "Dancing Lady" are among his
top choices.
Robert lives in Louisville, Kentucky and works for a Public Relations and Advertising agency.

Kyle Michael is from Orange County, California and has been a Joan fan since his early teens. Kyle has collected every single
sound film Joan has made (including the TV films) and many TV shows and many silent films of Joan's. Kyle has also collected
a large amount of Joan memorabilia. One of his favorite items in his collection is a Vintage Bisque Kewpie Figurine owned
by Joan (that was produced sometime between 1904 and 1919). Joan donated this item to a museum, owned by Frank and Eleanor
Wright. Kyle would like to add:
"Neil's website is THE BEST one out there on Joan Crawford! He has worked tirelessly on transitioning Joan's image from
merely 'Mommie Dearest' to the rightful and true image of the real Joan Crawford: the beautiful, talented, great superstar
she was to countless fans. And a humanitarian to so many causes. What other website has Joan's own grandson (Casey LaLonde)
taking over where Joan left off: writing letters to Joan's fans with all kinds of informative news concerning Joan herself.
A more creative and insightful Joan Crawford website you will not find anywhere else online. NEIL, YOU ROCK!"
Favorite Joan Crawford Films - His favorite Joan films are ALL of them, but if narrowed down to the Top 5, would be: Strange
Cargo,Johnny Guitar, Baby Jane, Mildred Pierce and Humoresque. That wasn't easy!

Clint Lyle

Clint has been an "old movie" fan since the mid-60's when he was first exposed to classic Hollywood movies on TV.
It was then that he first saw and admired the beautiful and talented Joan Crawford. Later, in the 1970's and 1980's, Clint
saw more of Joan's movies when he lived in San Francisco, at the wonderful movie theaters which specialized in showing films
of classic Hollywood (The Richelieu, The Gateway, The Castro). The more of Joan's movies he saw, the more he enjoyed her
work and appreciated her talent as a film actress. Clint lives with his partner of ten years, Bill, and their beautiful Himalayan
cat, Thomas.
Clint's favorite Crawford film is THE DAMNED DON'T CRY (but there are about 15 others that run a close second).

Sam DeLong

Sam DeLong has been a Joan Crawford fan since seeing "Humoresque" in 1946 at his aunt's suggestion because of his
study of classical music at that time. He was riveted by her performance and she became his favorite actor. He is now retired
and lives in suburban New York City and is enjoying the luxury of the freedom to watch all of Joan's pictures that are available.
His favorite Crawford souvenir is a copy of "The Films Of Joan Crawford" autographed to him by Joan Crawford.
Favorite Joan Crawford Films: "The Damned Don't Cry" because of the range of situations that Joan encounters.
"Mildred Pierce" also of course is right up near the top along with "Grand Hotel" but there are so many
that he likes that he seems to be rewriting her filmography when he lists them.

enjoys travel and classic films.
A Joan fan since the early 1980's, he has collected many rare films and books on the legendary star and enjoys doing his

Christina in 1978.
His favorite Joan films: A Womans Face, The Bride Wore Red, Letty Lynton, Mildred Peirce, Rain & of course, Whatever
Happened To Baby Jane."

Mark Toscani & Tony Sparacino
|
|
Mark Toscani is a native Philadelphian who discovered Joan Crawford at the age of 8 in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
(1962). He wondered to himself, "Who is that beautifully cheek-boned wonder in the wheelchair?" His search continues
to this day.
His late partner, Tony Sparacino, was a Philadelphia clothing designer and they ran two mens stores in town. Tony became
a huge fan (one of the reasons Mark fell madly in love with him). He was Mark's Al Steele. As Mark once said, "I sold
Mark Toscani for so long all I had to do was sell Sparacino's clothes."
Mark has re-invented himself once again as a film editor for a web agency and is involved in countless fundraisers in
Tony's name. He is convinced Tony is designing new gowns for Joan this very minute. Move over, Adrian!
Our favorite Joan films are "Grand Hotel", "Letty Lynton", "The Women", "A Woman's
Face", "Humoresque", "Possessed" (1947), "Harriet Craig", "Sudden Fear", and
"'Baby Jane".

Kellye Walker Baptiste

Kellye Baptiste (nee Walker) was born in Buffalo, New York in 1966. She and her family moved to Toronto, Canada in 1978.
She has been working as a paralegal with a specialty in Corporate and Commercial Law for 20 years. At the age of 40, Kellye
married and had her first child. The baby in the picture is named Sannai Katherine, born in March of 2007. At 8 months,
Sannai has already sat through (and watched!!!) "Mildred Pierce", "Dancing Lady" and "Autumn Leaves".
Of her introduction to Joan Crawford, Kellye writes: "My initial introduction to Joan Crawford took place in the
mid-eighties. I saw a television version of "Mommie Dearest." I became fascinated with the main character, and
thereafter spent many a Saturday morning at the local libraries reading and signing out books about Joan. I devoured each
word and gasped at photo after photo. I learned that "Mommie Dearest," if true, only contained a smidgen of information
on this interesting, fire-ball of a gal. She always worked hard and did her very best in everything. I couldn't help but
admire that in a woman who lived in a time when a strong woman wasn't really required, respected, or wanted.
Joan was an Aries (The First Sign of Fire) to the core. She demonstrated fierce creativity, constant passion, and she
always moved forward in her live from point A to point B without distraction. She truly represented the fire, heat, intensity
and light of fire.
I feel at home at Neil's Place, and am happy to be included in a group of TRUE fellow Crawford Fans. You Crawford fans
know your stuff. Our discussions are a perfect blend of Crawford Knowledge, and Crawford Admiration."
In Kellye's spare time, she enjoys watching the baby develop, cross-stitching, embroidery, pedicures, and watching Court
TV and NFL Football (GO BILLS!!). She has been studying the Science of Astrology since 1978, and is obsessed with World maps
and YouTube movies of roller coasters.
Kellye's favorite Joan Crawford Films: A Woman's Face, Grand Hotel, Mildred Pierce, The Women, Harriet Craig, The Damned
Don't Cry and Autumn Leaves

Carolyn Geary was born and raised in Glendale CA (remember Mildred Pierce). She moved to Eureka, CA when she retired in 2002.
She has been a devoted fan of Joan Crawford as far back as she can remember.
She's not sure which movie was her first Joan Crawford film - either "Above Suspicion" or "Mildred Pierce."
Carolyn is an avid classic movie lover and has an extensive collection of films. Now that she is retired she can indulge in
her favorite pass time, watching classic movies.
Favorite Joan Crawford Films: That's so difficult, she loves them all. But some of her top choices are Chained, Sadie
McKee, Rain, A Woman's Face, Mildred Pierce, Possessed (1947), Harriet Craig, Sudden Fear and Autumn Leaves. Guilty pleasure
is Female On The Beach. Such wonderful quotable lines!

Darwin Bell

Darwin Bell is an artist/photographer living in San Francisco who has been (obsessed with) interested in Joan Crawford since
reading "Mommie Dearest" in the 7th Grade and deciding that a) the woman was fascinating and b) there had to be
another side to the story. Since then, he has seen all of her movies (save for "The Ice Follies of 1939") and voraciously
read every book available to fill in the blanks left by "that book" until she finally just became part of the fabric
of who he is. And he has successfully turned at least dozens of previously indifferent viewers into rabid fans!
His favorite Joan movies are (and this was difficult to cut it to 5..er..7) Queen Bee, Female on the Beach, Possessed
(both, why not!), Torch Song, Daisy Kenyon and Johnny Guitar.

David Cerda

Although enamored with Joan Crawford since childhood, David Cerda realized the brilliance that is Joan Crawford as an adult.
Cerda is a Chicago based playwright and performer. He is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Hell in a Handbag Productions,
Chicago's leading parody/camp/pop culture theater company and the author of various critically (and not so critically) acclaimed
pieces like Joan Crawford Goes to Hell, SCARRIE-The Musical, Poseidon! An Upside Down Musical, How Whatever Happened to Baby
Jane Happened, Caged Dames, The Birds, Debbie Harry Saved My Life, and Rudolph the Red-Hosed Reindeer. Cerda is also the founder
and member of The Joans, the first rock and roll designed from the Joan Crawford point of view. The Joans are a loving nod/homage
to Ms. Crawford.
David loves most things Joan but particularly embraces her work from the 1950's and beyond.
Favorite Joan films include Torch Song, Berserk!, Mildred Pierce, Humoresque, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Eyes
from Night Gallery. David chooses to embrace and celebrate the camp elements of Ms. Crawford's career *(and most things in
general!) rather then hiding them under the rug.

Timothy Hughes

Timothy Hughes was born in the year Joan Crawford entered immortality and is still not dead. He lives, with applause and solitude,
in the gayest village of the United Kingdom. It's not Soho, it's in the south east county of Kent.
The first JC movie he saw was "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?". A night spent at his Grandmother's saw him
witness "Mildred Pierce" for the first time and his life has never been the same again. With Joan's example of glamour
and determination he has learned to pull himself up from his jockstrap and face each day as it comes (although often through
a haze of vodka/pepsi and cigarette smoke).
His favourite Joan Crawford film is, of course, Mildred Pierce due to the sentimental attachment but his secret favourites
are "Possessed" and "Sudden Fear".
When he is nervous and trapped and panicky he simply reminds himself of the mantra "What would Joan Crawford"
do and bitch slaps the nearest co-worker.

them.

Erika Santy
|
|
Being a Classic Film Fan since High School her first REAL introduction to Joan Crawford was in the film Grand Hotel. After
seeing that film it was hard to believe that the actress in that film was the same lady from the "movie" "Mommie
Dearest"
Admiring Joan's sense of Self & Style that she showed in her acting roles & interviews really became something
that I began to admire & respect about her.
Being a fan also of the director W.S. Van Dyke my favorite Joan films really are Forsaking All Others & Love on the
Run.
Other favorite Joan Films include: Rain, Mildred Pierce (of Course) , A Women's Face, Susan & God, Torch Song &
Joan's TV Performance on Night Gallery in 1969.

Joan really was.

her spare time she paints or reads and watches old movies (Joan Crawford).
Ens first discoverd Joan or Joany as she likes to call her (smiles) when she was 15 and now she's 25, she came across
a book that had a picture of Joany in early 1932.. she fell in love with the image she saw, her eyes were something out of
this world! And the rest as they say is history!! And since then she's read and watched all her films and collected anythting
about her.What's not to love about her? She came from nothing and became one of the biggest and most influencial stars there
has ever been. She was not perfect but she always tried her best and fought for what she believed in. Not only was she gorgeous
beyond words and intelligent to top it off but also one SPECTACULAR actress! Ena is truly in love with Joany, she admires
and appreciates her and the work she has left behind.

Benoit Prevot lives in Paris. Joan Crawford is one of Benoit's biggest influences - at the young age of 7 years old he was
fascinated by Crawford when he saw her in a French magazine. Joan's extraordinary face has haunted him since.

Abbie Twiss

Abbie lives in Auckland, New Zealand and is a profoundly deaf self-employed artist. Abbie became hooked on Joan Crawford after
she first watched "Mommie Dearest" when she was seven years old. She wasn't sure if Faye Dunaway really was Joan,
and learned the difference between fact and fiction and was fascinated. Abbie has painted two paintings of Joan ten years
ago that are now undergoing restoration. In college, Abbie got an A+ from her English teacher about writing an essay on Joan
Crawford and Bette Davis's feud. Abbie had intensely read Shaun Considine's Bette & Joan "The Divine Feud" which
prompted her to write the essay - she knew the story by heart at age fifteen!
Joan is very magnificent in her movies and will still live in them forever. Abbie's favorite Joan films are: "Rain,"
"Humoresque," "Grand Hotel," "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?," "Mannequin" and "Sudden
Fear."

Terry lives in a small city in eastern Canada and has been a huge fan of Joan Crawford since seeing "Mommie Dearest".
Terry knew that if Hollywood made a film about someone they had to be an exceptional human being, and Terry also knew there
was much more to the story on this fabulous actress. Terry has nearly all her films on video and DVD, with his five favorites
being "Mildred Pieres", "Sudden Fear", "Baby Jane", "Queen Bee", and "Female
on the Beach". Terry also have a "listmania" list on Amazon where he goes into a little detail on the top 40
films of Miss Crawford's. Besides Joan, Terry's idol is Dolly Parton- how's that for diversity?!

Rick Cornett
|
|
Rick Cornett first became interested in the career of Joan Crawford in 1978 with the release of the book, "Mommie Dearest."
The 1981 film of the same title sparked his interest even more.
He resides in Toledo, Ohio and is a professional floral designer. He also enjoys photography, free lance writing, old
movies and classic country music.
Rick is most intrigued with the power Joan Crawford holds over her legion of gay fans. Many of whom we're not even born
yet at the time of her death thirty years ago. Today's silver screen queens could only hope to have as loyal fan base as Joan
still has today.
Rick's favorite Joan Crawford films are from the 1940's and include Possessed, Above Suspicion and the academy award winning
Mildred Pierce.
Rick is a long time fan of the, "Queen Of Country Music," Miss Loretta Lynn. He has amassed one of the largest
collections on her in the world and has seen his idol in concert over 300 times. Today Rick is a personal friend of Loretta's
and is in the process of developing a fan web site on her.
