Overview

Dubbed a clothes-horse de luxe in 1935, Joan Crawford was the very model of Hollywood glamor and beauty. Through shifting styles and several decades, Miss Crawford projected the right image ... the panache of the fast-living flapper... the sophisticated, Garbo-like cool de rigueur in the 30s ... and, from the 40s onward, the tailored savvy of a Mildred Pierce. In every incarnation, through five decades and 81 films, Joan Crawford radiated star quality. Fashion illustrator Tom Tierney has captured Miss Crawford in three lifelike paper dolls, representing three distinct phases in her long screen career, and twenty-eight meticulously rendered costumes from as many films, including Pretty Ladies, Grand Hotel, Rain, Letty Lynton, The Gorgeous Hussy, The Bride Wore Red, The Women, Mildred Pierce, Humoresque, Johnny Guitar, Female on the Beach, I Saw What You Did, and Berserk! This collection, a tribute to a striking beauty and magnetic actress, is also a salute to the many talented costume designers - Adrian, Milo, Anderson, and Sheila O'Brien, to name a few - who made Hollywood a fashion house. Miss Crawford's many fans, fashion enthusiasts, as well as paper doll collectors will welcome this Tom Tierney effort.
