Care for your clothes, like the good friends they are

There was a saying around MGM: "Norma Shearer got the productions, Greta Garbo supplied the art, and Joan Crawford made the money to pay for both".

I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else

If you start watching the oldies, you're in trouble. I feel ancient if "Grand Hotel" or "The Bride Wore Red" comes on. I have a sneaking regard for "Mildred Pierce", but the others do nothing for me.

It is my intention to make no provision herein for my son Christopher or my daughter Christina for reasons which are well known to them.

I absolutely will not allow anyone to call me grandmother. They can call me Auntie Joan, Dee-Dee, Cho-Cho, anything but grandmother. It pushes a woman almost to the grave.

Send me flowers while I'm alive. They won't do me a damn bit of good after I'm dead.
