This review is from: A portrait of Joan;: The autobiography of Joan Crawford, (Hardcover)

I understand that this book is rare,and rare to find.

It does belong in any serious collection of Joan Crawford.

However the book is evasive and it is only with a very good eye that you will be capable of reading between the lines.Miss Crawford offers a 'glossed-over' look at her life and achievements.Not much 'dirt' in there.

If you are looking for vintage reading from Joan,you would be better served with her second book from 1971:''My Way of Life'',which gives you a much better if campy look at what it was like to BE Joan Crawford.

Conclusion:Get this book if you are serious collector.If you really want to know what made Ms. Crawford tick,get her second,much more interesting,book.
