REMINDER: From a reader of this site:
"I think you could help spread the word by reminding people of the free Joan movies on their various cable providers. For example, on Comcast, one can press the microphone on their remote and say 'free joan crawford movies' and see the current selection. Most importantly, the search and watch activity it generates causes cable providers to show more Joan movies!" Amen, brother! :)

ART:

2020 giclee print by Ken Fallin.

2024 chalk street art in Florida by Joel Yau.

FILMS: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? -- A Warners promo mask.

PHOTOS: 1967 -- 3 small color photos on the set of Karate Killers with director Barry Shear.

1940, 1945, 1947, 1950, 1953, 1954, 1962
