Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star (TV Movie 2002) - Anjelica Huston as Self - Narrator

Self - Narrator : Joan was given a starring role in the film that would cement her fame, "Our Dancing Daughters". In the movie, Crawford came through as her own unique creation - which MGM had been avoiding from the beginning. This was the Joan that had been in the nightclubs. The Joan that had been impressing everybody else. She was finally allowed to be free and the public reaction was monumental.
Self - Narrator : Crawford was a natural on the screen. Whether from a youthful zeal or from a lack of education, she came across as a fresh new face in an age of affectation.
Self - Narrator : F. Scott Fitzgerald noted, "Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living."
Self - Narrator : Filmdom had a new star - and hers was the ultimate Cinderella story. That of a flapper who made it through the ranks to become a credible actress and a genuine box office movie star.
Self - Narrator : Crawford had become a creature of extremes. She knitted furiously, complaining of having nervous hands. She maintained an exhaustive exercise regimen.
