Quotables 7 June 2024: Joan Crawford on where to find ‘the girl next door’

B&W icon: Joan Crawford in a striking floral dress by George Hurrell (MGM, c. 1932). Classic waves frame her confident gaze. Dramatic light accentuates her strength and elegance in this timeless portrait.

From a 1937 Los Angeles Times interview: ‘I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door’.
