      At the beginning of the interview, she handed the floor over to the interviewer by looking directly at the woman during the introduction rather than at the camera, which would have drawn attention to herself and away from the woman talking. Total class act. She showed consideration and had brains, style and beauty to boot. What a star.

    love this -- it seemed as if crawford was trying to put the obviously a bit nervous interviewer at ease in the beginning, then she had a little smirk as the director called 'rolling', as if, here we go, dear, then she slipped into the crawford image ... confident, classy. i noticed too her constant eye contact while the interviewer was asking questions, then she does what i've come to notice as a crawford signature move, of glancing down for a beat, then snapping eyes back to the other person. loved those pepsicola bottles, haha.

  • @SIMKINYX

    Oh, those few moments at the beginning (0:20-0:33) that were not cut are precious!!! To watch Joan noticing the dismissive "ok" from the interviewer and then giving her a long and amused observing stair from the side...riveting and funny to watch the reaction :)))

And she was right. People went crazy for that movie. Such a beautiful woman. They don't have many movie stars like this anymore if any.
