	Joan Crawford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joan Crawford (March 23, 1905--May 10, 1977) was an acclaimed, iconic, Academy Award winning American actress, arguably one of the greatest from Hollywood's golden years of the 1920's, 30's, and 40's.

		Though many of Crawford's friends (as well as her other daughters, Cynthia and Cathy) harshly criticized and disputed the book's claims, other friends did not, and her reputation was severely tarnished.
