Joan Crawford: The Best of Everything

FILMS: Thanks to Michael Lia for his two new reviews of 1925 Silents: Lady of the Night and Pretty Ladies. (If you have a review of any Joan film to share on this site, please send it in!)

MAGAZINES: Thanks to Ramon of Barcelona for sending me a link to various Spanish covers featuring Joan that I did not have up on this site. (Ramon is a regular contributor to moviemags.com, which has over 376K magazine issues listed, and over 38K cover photos featuring stars from the 1920s to today. Joan page for that site.)

NEWS/EVENTS:

The US Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater (Culpeper, VA) presents Humoresque on March 26 (7:30pm, FREE admission!).

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! :)
