Joan Crawford: Haunted by the Laundry or by Abortion?

I've been thinking about Joan Crawford and her daughter, Christina's famous assertion that her "Mommy Dearest" was a freaking nut over wire hangers.


While common thought has stated that Joan had an aversion to (to put it lightly) the WIRE hanger due to being raised as a little girl in the cluttered room of a laundry, I was reminded after watching the 1977 international film spectacular, "The Other Side of Midnight", starring the incomparable Marie France Pisier, that many young ladies of Joan's same era would sometimes stick a wire coat hanger up into their own vaginas as to give themselves a self-abortion.

And Joan was known to be the party girl of her era when she a very young woman (prior to becoming a huge star).

She was rather infamous for her sexual appetites and freedom with her body.

Yet she never came out the other side of any of that pregnant.

Which were intriguing odds considering it was the 1920s when she was the world's dancing, partying, sexual flapper extraordinaire.

Even Miss Loretta Young fell preggers after an injection of the meat sauce by Mr. Clark Gable. She didn't abort and for years afterwards raised her own (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) "niece".

And stories have Joseph Kennedy rather forcing the then-luminous star Gloria Swanson into at least a couple of abortions. (HEY! Catholic values only go so far...when the bastard babies might be discovered by the wife back home and audiences around the world).

What is interesting, too, about Crawford is that she apparently was never able to have babies physically. Which while not unheard of is also often the result in many cases of botched abortions and all that.

They claim that is also what made it so impossible for Marilyn Monroe to carry a baby to term - the effects of numerous previous abortions.

So it causes me to wonder that if the wire hanger stories are true - and to the extent that Christiana described them - they did not stem from Crawford being haunted by some wire hanger abortion in her past and not a laundry flashback at all?
 
Whatever Joan Crawford was or wasn't she did believe in gay rights.

William Haines and Shields began a successful dual career as interior designers and antique dealers. Among their early clients were friends such as Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson, Carole Lombard, Marion Davies and George Cukor. Their lives were disrupted in 1936 when members of the Ku Klux Klan dragged the two men from their home and beat them, because a neighbor had accused the two of propositioning his son. Crawford, along with other stars such as Claudette Colbert, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Kay Francis, and Charles Boyer urged the men to report this to the police. Marion Davies asked her lover William Randolph Hearst to use his influence to ensure the neighbors were prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but ultimately Haines and Shields chose not to report the incident

William Haines was a leading man fired by MGM for being honest about his orientation.
 
Who is Joan Crawford? :lol:

Niece, you'd better hand in your queer card.

As for the OP, it's certainly possible (and it might explain her anxieties over parenting), but I doubt we'll ever know for sure.
 
Who is Joan Crawford? :lol:

She is this famous actress Lilbit wants to resemble. She is dead and after several decades of decomposition, I say Lilbit is close to looking like her.
 
Is Lana Del Ray the Joan Crawford for our Time?
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

She is this famous actress Lilbit wants to resemble. She is dead and after several decades of decomposition, I say Lilbit is close to looking like her.
Hooker, please. She pickled herself so well during her lifetime that she's NEVER gonna decompose. You, on the other hand, started decomposing as soon as you were excised from your mother's womb.
 
Oh, I always loved Marie France Pisier. :)

She of course had to go up and die last year. :(

Sadly no wire coat hanger abortion scene in this montage from The Other Side of Midnight.

It really ought to be a beloved gay camp classic. But I tend to think it might be a shade "too good" for that. Just a shade, mind you. lol

But what a chic little movie even 35 years later. She really did have the face of a genuine movie star.



As for JOAN...don't tell me that anyone in scene @.40 seconds didn't see around a wire coat hanger once or twice. (I also think its one of the best YouTube on aging - intentional or not).



I don't know whether or not Joan had a wire hanger abortion ever. But its my gut feeling about her - and I stick to my guts (like they stick to me). A coat hanger in a launderette is never so scary as one coming at ya and up your vagina (I would have to presume).

But let's all say that Joan went to Hell.

Would it be because of a wire hanger abortion or the movie Trog?

 
Hooker, please. She pickled herself so well during her lifetime that she's NEVER gonna decompose. You, on the other hand, started decomposing as soon as you were excised from your mother's womb.

Bette Davis is a superior actress.
 
And Joan knew that wire coat hangers ruin kitten sweaters.

They are only good for back-street abortions.
 
Ooh, a couple of bitches are going on Li'l Bit's ignore list... >:~(

one little flaw -- there is NO record of marilyn monroe actually having ANY abortions. its just a wide believed misconception because she was a sex symbol.

Talking of Joan Crawford, did anyone else read that Hollywood is remaking Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
