FILMS: Thanks to reinventedsky for this new review of A Woman's Face. And to Gaetano for his new review of Trog. (My apologies to both for the delay in posting these.) If you would like to share your review of any Joan film on this website, please e-mail me.
LETTERS: Thanks to Julian K. for sharing these three letters: 1945 (to a serviceman, with Mildred news) 1952 (to a longtime fan/friend with thanks and holiday/Sudden Fear news) 1963 (to a friend re the making of Baby Jane ["it was very tiring on my nerves to make that film"] and with personal news) And thanks to comedian Suzy Soro for sharing this personal 1973 letter from Joan. She e-mailed me this letter last month, with the accompanying note: "I did become an actress and then a standup comedian. I'm sure Joan's letter resonated with me and kept me going!"
