Description: CRAWFORD, JOAN & LAWRENCE J. QUIRK. The Films of Joan Crawford - By Lawrence J. Quirk. New York: Citadel, 1968. First Edition, First Printing. Signed and inscribed by actress Joan Crawford to her uncle. Inscribed very flamboyantly on the title page: “To the great and beautiful man - Uncle Floyd - with profound admiration and devotion. Joan.” The only book on her films published in her lifetime. Oversized format. Illustrated. Fine copy in a very good dust jacket with few tiny chips and small tears. A comprehensive look at the life and career of Hollywood legend, Joan Crawford, illustrated throughout with candid behind-the-scenes photos and stills from her many films, including Grand Hotel, The Women, Above Suspicion, Hollywood Canteen, Mildred Pierce (for which she won an Oscar for Best Actress), Possessed, Sudden Fear, Johnny Guitar, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, etc. Miss Crawford epitomized the various stages of Hollywood glamour and style, from the ambitious and gutsy Depression era heroine of the 30s, to the long-suffering yet beautiful survivor of the 40s, to the femme fatale of the 50s, she always seemed to do her best work just as she was on the verge of being written off. With stills from all of her films, cast lists, synopses of the stories, production credits, and reviews.
