“The history of Lon Chaney is the history of unrequited loves. He brings that part of you out into the open, because you fear that you are not loved, you fear that you never will be loved, you fear there is some part of you that’s grotesque, that the world will turn away from.” -Ray Bradbury
“What a sweet and wonderful thing life is. I remember a line I saw in a newspaper the other day—‘Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.’ And I want to live—I want to know everything and see everything. I want to travel and be happy all my life. I want to touch the stars.”

…but man, when Crawford comes on, the little girls might as well scram. She’s it. — Cosmopolitan, 1951
Something throbs in her. Something magnetic and alive, something vivid and important… — Helen Louise Walker, Silver Screen, 1934
She came up the hard way and she’s proud of it. If she could go back and change every circumstance that made her the Joan Crawford of today, you can be sure that there is one thing Joan wouldn’t change: She’d still want to be born out of the Babylon of the earth, she’d still want to be born south of the tracks. She’s grateful for that kind of a beginning because everything she owns today she earned. Hollywood never gave her anything. She gave Hollywood something… — Robert White, Los Angeles Times, 1939
She is Hollywood. — Barbara Ribakove, Photoplay, 1975Happy Birthday to Lucille Fay LeSueur, aka Joan Crawford! | 23 March 1906 - 10 May 1977
