Both were monumentally ambitious, but while Shearer's ambition was fueled by a confident nature, Crawford's was fueled by insecurity and aggression. Sensing in Shearer some of the same appetite to eat the world that she herself possessed, how could Crawford <i>not</i> see her rival's warmth as a big act, a privileged girl's veneer? While Shearer grew up in comfortable surroundings and only knew hard times when she became a teenager, Crawford was weaned on abuse and neglect. Two daddies deserted the family before she was 10. While still a child, she cleaned toilets in girls' boarding school and was disciplined with a broom handle." - Mick LaSalle, Complicated Women, Thomas Dunne Books, 2000dvlarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154934310323584284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-78241391183741725922016-05-25T20:31:53.224-04:002016-05-25T20:31:53.224-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.dvlarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154934310323584284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-79320736689450093312010-10-14T07:22:59.644-04:002010-10-14T07:22:59.644-04:00those last two pictures are indeed divine !those last two pictures are indeed divine !Mister Supergliderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881654681241116088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-87777929488541384302010-10-13T03:47:35.251-04:002010-10-13T03:47:35.251-04:00Fantastic!Fantastic!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111322018706835897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917776121387891817.post-592715114248782242010-10-12T12:01:31.309-04:002010-10-12T12:01:31.309-04:00That first gown, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
