Re: My column on Joan and Joni
in reply to a message by LH
Just the word Crawford makes me about nauseated. I wouldn't call Joan sexy either but hey, who knows what those Hollywood nuts were thinking. I do think her real name was much better. I think LeSueur would have been much less of an issue than some might think. While most people in America don't speak French, it isn't exactly unheard of and a lot of places have French names. English also borrows a good many French words. The French have always been considered posh here too. Probably more so in the time of Joan Crawford.
