Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star (2002 TV Movie)

Ben Cooper: Self - Actor

Quotes 

• Self - Actor : She was a total technical, consummate artist and, yet, could allow the emotions to come through too. When she showed up in the morning, she knew her lines and she knew your lines and she knew his lines and she knew her lines. All she wanted you to do is know yours.

• Self - Actor : [referring to "Johnny Guitar"]  Someone described it once as Beauty and the the Beast with Sterling Hayden as the Beauty. It was interesting to watch Joan.

• Self - Actor : I was being interviewed by the editor of one of the Fan magazines. One of the assistant editors came in and said, "You want me to do that story on Joan Crawford. What do you want? Nice girl or a bitch?" And he said, "Eh, make her a bitch." So, later when I was visiting with Joan, I told her about that and I said, "How do you handle that?" And she looked at me and smiled and she said, "Oh, my dear, suppose they never wrote about me at all?"
