Joan Blondell, circa 1932






She had bad luck with abusive husbands. When she heard ex Mike Todd's plane had crashed, she reportedly said, "I hope the sonofabitch screamed the whole way down."

  1. Awww cute little Joan. I saw her in Opposite of Sex a couple of nights ago and she was unrecognizable. The little sex pot did not age well. Oh, and Ann Sheridan was in it and I couldn't stop staring at her hair thanks to you. In the first two scenes it was a gorgeous deep red then it changed to an ugly deep yellow.

  2. I haven't seen that one but just caught the trailer on youtube. Yikes, looks like rough going. June Allyson is one of those actresses who make me want to hurl things at the TV.

  4. Claros,
    The film was a mess and a remake of The Women. I'm no fan of June Allyson either and what were they thinking in casting her as Mary Haines? From Norma Shearer to HER! Then Joan Collins played Chrystal which was Joan Crawford's part. The only one I cared for was Ann Miller. Her skin looks like ice cold milk. Beautiful.
