[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440095, member: 7"] You will notice that I had the subtitle changed from "The Warner Brothers Era" into "Not the Girl-Next-Door", considering this conversation has come to banner the entirety of Crawford's screen career, which is perfectly fine. I borrowed "Not the Girl-Next-Door" from the "personal biography" penned by Charlotte Chandler. I find that referencing of Joan to be quite fitting of the image she so carefully crafted, nutured, protected, and played right until the very end. That "Joan Crawford" image, as we know it, has carried into the 21st-century, as she remains one of the most iconic and well-known personalities from Hollywood's Golden Age. Diane Baker and Gloria DeHaven, both who knew Crawford well, have said in interviews that Crawford was always the star and encouraged them both to never leave their homes without dressing the way the public wanted to see them. Myrna Loy has said Joan was "stardom's most diligent student", who worked tirelessly to find the image she wanted to present to the public. And it was that image, despite morphing into different phases, that made her the superstar she was. She was the embodiment of glamour. She definitely was not the girl-next-door.
