Possessed LP: The Life of Joan Crawford by Donald Spoto (English) Paperback Book

Description: Possessed LP by Donald Spoto Drawing on a recently opened archive, as well as exclusive interviews and access to personal letters, the author explores the life of Joan Crawford, including her four marriages, her affair with Clark Gable, her adoptive daughters accusations of abuse, her acting career and her final years battling cancer. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description New York Times bestselling author Donald Spoto has already brilliantly explored the lives and careers of numerous Hollywood stars and entertainment icons--Grace Kelly, James Dean, Alfred Hitchcock, and Marilyn Monroe, to name but a few. In Possessed, his subject is the inimitable Joan Crawford, one of the most electrifying divas of the Golden Age of American film. A more thorough, revealing, and sympathetic portrait of the often maligned movie star--most notably lambasted, perhaps, in the scandalous bestseller, Mommy Dearest--Possessed is a fascinating study of the real Joan Crawford, a remarkable actress, businesswoman, mother, and lover. Back Cover Joan Crawford was one of the most incandescent film stars of all time, yet she was also one of the most misunderstood. In this brilliantly researched, thoughtful, and intimate biography, bestselling author Donald Spoto goes beyond the popular caricature--the abusive, unstable mother of her adopted daughter Christina Crawfords memoir, Mommie Dearest--to give us a three-dimensional portrait of a very human woman, her dazzling career, and her extraordinarily dramatic life and times. Illuminating and entertaining, Possessed is the definitive biography of this remarkable woman and true legend of film. Author Biography Donald Spoto has written two dozen bestselling biographies of film and theater stars--among them Grace Kelly, Alfred Hitchcock, Tennessee Williams, Ingrid Bergman, and Marilyn Monroe. Born in Westchester County, near New York City, he now lives in Denmark. Review Quote I was seduced into utter fascination by his fairness, his accuracy, his lack of hysteria, his willingness to probe behind the myths, his empathy, his feminism, his extraordinary humanity.
