Lovely Katie Johnson, not many people can steal the screen off Alec Guinness, especially in a role like his but she does it.

Re: *CANDIDS*
Joan was a most interesting celebrity. She lived her movie star life well towards the final days. In later years she made it a point to personally answer all of her fan mail; very important to her to send replies and autographed portraits to her admirers. She could never accept that her leading lady days were over - even in the midst of TROG, BERSERK.
Re: *CANDIDS*
Stone, I have an autographed photo from Miss Crawford and some notes written on blue letter paper.
She was very cordial writing me from her New York and California addresses.
Needless to say I like her.

Re: *CANDIDS*
Hi Joe,
It would be interesting to know when that picture of Joan and Mercy was taken.
It looks to me like the early 60's, long after their feud. They don't appear to be 'smiling' but a forced smiley smirk on Joan's face and clenched teeth leer on Mercy's face.
But irt is nice to see a photo of them together and trying to appear professional.
I loved both of them; and of course, don't have a problem with either.

Larry, I don't know what year the picture was taken. Here is another shot at the same event.

Re: *CANDIDS*
Thanks Joe,
Now that "looks" better; but I can still see two baracudas greeting each other!!
I often wondered though whether all that venom on their set was really real??? I never knew either one of them to be other than sweet and cordial to everyone around.
But of course, I've never experienced them together; so what do I know..
Cheers Joe,
Larry

Re: *CANDIDS*
Those certainly are to be treasured, Joe. The closest I came in contact with Miss Crawford was discovering that she, too, was a member of The American Peter Cushing Fan Club.

Re: *CANDIDS*
That's an interesting fact about her, who would have thought that a star of her magnitude could be a fan of another star. I think Joan has been much maligned, I don't mean by Tina but by some other biographers who are quick to believe the worst about people. She respected her fans, I'm not sure we can say the same today.
