Oh Joan if you only knew we are watching your films in 2021.

This interviewer was amazingly well prepared. To think he gathered all this information before Google and DVDs is just incredible.

I’ve loved her since a kid and always will! ❤❤❤

I do not care what anyone says - I like her!

She's an absolute star. So poised and elegant. 🩷🌷

Wow this is an amazing interview. She was very modern and very smart. I'm captivated

I always lean toward Bette Davis, and have seen many more of her interviews. They are different women, but equally captivating in their own way. That era turned out some strong, independent, inspiring women way ahead of their time. Joan is intense and puts a lot of thought into her responses...enjoyed watching this very much!

I always loved Miss Crawford. A great actress and a good person. RIP 🌹

RIP true American Legend

Love my Joan 👍🏾💓

Her beautiful eyes, eloquent, great character her skin AMAZING ... NO BOTOX. NATURAL

I can’t help but love her she is so well versed. She is elegant and her answers relate to everyday life while being a STAR:) I love to hear her speak✝️💜 Fabulous actress💜

great actress and one of the biggest stars of all time

She is truly one of the very greatest actresses of all time.

So eloquent, balanced and sane. A great lady.

Good interview but I wish the word PREVIEW was not blocking the beautiful face of Joan Crawford.

So beautiful ..always brilliant on screen 📺❤️ love her attitude!

Wow I love her honesty about her education

Thank you for posting. It's fun to watch this intelligent woman formulating her answers.

She was quite beautiful physically

I get what a strong woman she was after finding out she grew up in Texas!

She was a hard worker, and knew the movie business in and out. However, she had problems and I still think she is much older than reported at least by 10 years. She had her struggles just like everyone else but overall she was a great actress.

Look at those jewels -- all real too! This is very interesting after watching the Feud series.

She did leave a rich film legacy of varied challenging roles.

8:24 Bette and Joan forevah! I love this interview. Such a pro!

So very beautiful!! Amazing.

THIS IS GOOD.....SHE IS SOBER..........& SHE STARTED IN FILMS WHEN SHE WAS 20 OR 21 YEARS OLD....NOT HER TEENS.........

Such an interesting and fascinating woman. This is an amazingly interview.She was the most amazing actress. She remained such a beautiful woman

No matter if it was Grand Hotel, The Women, Humoresque, Mildred, Queen Bee, Straight Jacket or Trog she brought it 100%. Bette hated her because she was jealous & she always called her a ‘phony’. Joan always acknowledged where she came from, that her childhood was horrific, & she was laser focused on bettering herself. She wasn’t ‘fake’ she worked her ass off to be the person she projected on screen and she took her movie star status seriously for her fans. There was nothing fake about her. She was a clean freak & didn’t hide it not did she have others do it for her. She worked hard herself. When she hosted guests, she cooked the dinner she served. Bette was great….at being Bette. Baby Jane wasn’t acting, she was herself. And she got laughs for putting down colleagues. Also, Joan’s career THRIVED from Mildred Pierce thru the 50’s. Harriet Craig was wonderful. Sudden Fear and Autumn Leaves were 2 of her best films. And Queen Bee & Flamingo Road were pure camp but are entertaining as hell. Bette only had All About Eve.

First child is often the "trial" for parents It seems joan "took it easy" for later children Joan was a self made woman, she worked hard to accomplish, she never forgot where she came from

Queen of old Hollywood❤

☆ .. Elegancy, chicness & sweetness .. !

I like this actress .when I started watching movies from my grand parents era I was into Swanson then I saw a movie of Crawford and I liked her. I know Davis was popular but I didn’t really get into her movies but Crawford i actually remember buying her DVDs she really is a very good actress

She is very captivating:)

Queen 👑

Very difficult work to be actress, divas , star. JOAN WAS PERFECT IN THE MOVIE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL ...NOT SAMPLE.....FOR JOAN SUCCESS, BUT DIFFICULT LIFE,,,,,VERY BIG MOVIE STAR 🎥🎥🎥🎥🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨🌏🌏🌏🌏🥀🌹🌹🌹 💄💄💄💄🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆

All her movies are my favorite

So knowledgeable and so humble

Joan Crawford was excellent in baby jane. Bette Davis is wonderful.

Seen Joan in this interview make me believe that the movie Mommie Dearest wasn't based in the real life of Joan Crawford, but the anger and frustration of Christina's childhood memories, over her strong character mother. Never from an abusive woman. There's always three versions of the truth: Mine, yours and the real.

That makeup was laidT! 😍

The Queen

Wow what an interesting woman. I have a complete opinion change now. Her comment to the reporter on her child. Changes my opinion.

I like her too great lady

Very true here we are watching her on KZfaq in 2021 lol and I think her view on not living in the past is very healthy

She was such a hard worker

Goddess

24:20 she gave him a look like “What is this weak ass bull shit you’re showing me..?”

Fav point in interview: [JC getting increasingly impatient listening to the interviewer's effusive buildup to his question about Elizbeth Taylor, and, then, pause, and canned reply]: "This girl [ET], I think, has developed into one of the finest actresses on the screen that I've ever seen - [cutting her eyes at the interviewer] - and of course she's had a good tutor [pause] Mr. Burton - [pause, side glance again at interviewer-with just the slightest hint of a sneer halfheartedly disguised as a "pleasant smile"] and they've helped each other tremendously." - imo, vintage JC - complex, defensive, heavily veneered underlying layer of inexplicable seething, mildly vicious. I get tense watching every one of the great interviews that folks have uploaded to YT - JC seems to always be in combat mode - she appears to receive every point in a conversation as a offensive "trick question" and she is ironclad determined not to be "bested" by anybody - would never want to have had coffee with her, it would just be pointless. Only two people she seems to authentically enjoy recalling - and does in practically every extended interview I've seen - are Greta Garbo and Clark Gable - GG apparently b/c JC was just head-over-heels smitten with her b/c of some fleeting moment of attention GG gave her during the filming of "Grand Hotel" and Gable, perhaps because of her relentlessly predatory instinct towards men and fondly treasured after-regard for one of her prey - when I hear her effuse about CG I always detect a resonance of animosity towards Carole Lombard, i.e., sort of a "why her and not me and, hah, you lost her anyway," sort of predator's taunt. lol A complex, vulnerable, painfully insecure, ruthlessly ambitious, hard-boiled woman - and rather unabashedly vulgar and course, altho she valiantly represses that in interviews like this one with the strange "hauteur" accent, the regal hair and makeup and couture costuming meant to impress - but nonetheless, indisputably, a "silver screen" legend of epic proportions - so, Ms. Joan Crawford, relax! You've won! 🙂

I enjoyed watching this interview. She seems very controlled.....like she doesn't dare open her mouth until she knows exactly what she is going to say and how she is going to say it. Not sure if that makes sense........though not a bad thing. Just noticable to me. No doubt her acting abilities stem from how she was raised and what she experienced as a child........I think thats what makes any actor a great actor and not just a ho hum actor. And the guy was right......we will all be watching her films till the end of time.

What an absolutely fascinating interview!! Literate, respectful but probing...just wonderful!! And Miss Crawford...what can you say that hasn’t been said a million times before. The fact that she created this composed, elegant, gracious, funny, clever, caring and hard working woman who is here before us, is a testament to her tenacity and strength of vision. She is a legend for very good reasons!! What an incredible woman she was. She’s been done so wrong since her death, and by people who she gave everything to as well (isn’t that always the way)!! I truly despise that adopted ingrate for the damage that she has done. God bless you Joan. Rest easy...many of us have more than a good idea of who you really were, and are 🥰🌟🧡

Poor Joan didn't want to live in real life, Just Hollywood land, How sad.❕❕

Asked why she left Metro after seventeen years, she says "two lousy pictures, so I asked for my release." Per the film Mommie Dearest, it was MGM who asked for that.

WHAT DATE WAS THIS FIRST SHOWN....

I honestly don't think she would be that bad as presented in the book or the movie the Mommie Dearest. She seems very balanced ........

Wow ! Wondering if Warren Beatty had staying power serreal

My God, take that damn "PREVIEW" logo off the screen! It looks like one of the old VHS tester videos they'd send Blockbuster!?

If Joan thought the world and young men were angry in the 60s, she wouldn't believe what is happening now. And today's young men do have their hair cut - in military fashion.

Dang i wish they'd put the date of the interview on these...

She was so classy better than Bette

cannot believe that on Joan Crawford's face , they kept that preview font / shit on ...remove that please !!! c'mon !!!

i wonder where the interviewer is now, being this was 57 years ago. he was great! he asked questions we'd all ask, like what was it like to slap ann blythe.

that was my Aunt Veldas son my 3 rd cousin on camera and they said she was so angry but she had a cigarettes' and calmed and then became really angry then kicked a printing machine . Aunt Velda said she requested that room be freezing and would stop the film and add lipsticks .She called Dwight Marcell and he refused to sponsor this interview but Quaker Oats sponsored it .

She must have been between Berserk and Trog. The end of the line.

True class beautiful soul, would loved to have gone out to dinner with. ~

Almost all great Hollywood stars had disturbed childhoods. They seek approval and love.

almost every question this excellent interviewer asks, she disputes him in some way.

You can tell she didn't care for the man interviewing her.He asked some very personal and nasty questions.

Joan Crawford was an outstanding actress. Terrific personality, however I do believe Christina. Joan had a drinking problem, and mixed with pills is not a good combo. People in front of a camera and behind closed doors can be two different people. Remember Joan is and was one of the best Actress out there. Hate her 2 first children has to endure what they did.

Say what you want about Miss Crawford, but her poise and elegant speaking manner is now a long lost thing in Hollywood; now we have these obnoxious vulgar bimbos with their political opinions and crass behavior, nothing wrong with someone being that way, but as a star you must always strive to project some level of dignified sophistication in front of the public!

wow...im looking at this...trying to see who she reminds me of then here @ 9:09 I see and hear Lady GA GA anyone else get that vib???

10:31 Ok, that is pure hypocrisy and you can see how hard she tries.

Why is the word preview obscuring their faces???

I'm not rich that was a modest lie lol she had 2 million in the bank when she died so if that's not rich then I don't know what is I'm glad to see this though cause it's not many Joan interviews around

Regal

Gosh, what an obsequious, sycophantic interviewer. Made my toes positively curl. I know that’s how things were ‘back then’, but still.

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Where’s the rest of it?????!!!!

Did she ever find the true Joan Crawford ???

How old was she here. She's still pretty hot looking... no wrinkles, so maybe her "ice cubes and witch hazel" treatment works...

This was interesting. I can't ever figure out why she always has an artificial patina to her personality. There was just something about her that wa so 'off''.

As a survivor of child abuse myself, I am on Christina's side ALWAYS!!!!

She reminds me of Lady Gaga

TROG!!

I feel like there's a mask that she never drops but there's maybe not much behind it - her whole identity was built on being "a star" which is a very shallow self-obsessed way to live I'm more interested in people like Katherine Hepburn who had other things going on in her life besides her image and her fame

The word preview was printed across the screen the whole time not good

The pompous queen interviewing her gets on her nerves but she handles him with aplomb.

sometimes she seems so full of her self, but then in the next statement she seems like a child.

There's no flow to his questions he jumps from subject to subject without exploring the topics or responding to her answers at all.

Weird about her comments about being a woman....

Joan is lovely and gracious but the guy interviewing her is beyond dull! His questions were silly. I'm surprised she didn't walked.

tragic figure

Very defensive woman.....

Annoying interviewer and am not going to watch 43 minutes of the word PREVIEW blocking her face.

A bitter woman who on her death bed told her house keeper to stop praying for her! A bitter person and a bitter soul! I’m not one to judge but, if you reject Jesus or prayer you reject life ever lasting! A sad end to a torturous soul

She was a narcissistic child abuser... You know, that one girl (her adopted daughter) who was not a fan, got to experience her derange mind up close... Read, or watch "Mommie dearest"!!
