Book Presentation:
Joan Crawford (1908-1977) was best known for her starring roles in The Women, Grand Hotel, Mildred Pierce, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, Johnny Guitar, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Charlotte Chandler's fascinating and intimate portrait includes interviews with Crawford; her first husband, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.; Bette Davis; and Myrna Loy, and is perhaps her finest biography yet.

About the Author:
Charlotte Chandler (New York, NY)'s first book, Hello, I Must Be Going, was a national bestseller about Groucho Marx. Her book I, Fellini was selected as a New York Times notable book. She is also the author of Nobody's Perfect: Billy Wilder, A Personal Biography; It's Only a Movie: Alfred Hitchcock, A Personal Biography; The Girl Who Walked Home Alone: Bette Davis, A Personal Biography; and Ingrid: Ingrid Bergman, A Personal Biography.

Press Reviews:
In Davis's memoirs one hears the authentic, engrossing, gloriously manipulative voice of Old Hollywood. Publishers Weekly Readers will enjoy finding that her famously bombastic personality is allowed to shine through. --Booklist
