“I was constantly told not to give so much, especially with my eyes and features.  I listened, and I learned.  Some early critic once said something to the effect that Joan Crawford was an effective actress but only in front of the camera.  That upset and confused me.  Movies are made by cameras.  Where else should I project?  Into the scenery?  Down to the floor?  Yes, it seems funny today, but back then I was a very serious young girl about my work.” – Joan Crawford

 

She gave all right...completely.  Thanks, Joan.  - D. Nowak
