Having already offered in-depth biographical portraits of classic entertainment professionals such as Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchcock, author Donald Spoto provides a worshipful examination of the life and career of actress Joan Crawford. Christina Delaine’s precise and dramatic narration serves to raise the level of the well-written but mundane content. Crawford’s career is examined—including her grandest and worst films—but too often with seemingly endless lists of such items as cast members and other screen credit components. This work is more a volume of film commentary than a biography. Delaine’s thoughtful performance saves the listening experience. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
New York Times bestselling author Donald Spoto has already brilliantly explored the lives and careers of numerous Hollywood stars and entertainment icons-Grace Kelly, James Dean, Alfred Hitchcock, and Marilyn Monroe, to name but a few. In Possessed, his subject is the inimitable Joan Crawford, one of the most electrifying divas of the Golden Age of American film. A more thorough, revealing, and sympathetic portrait of the often maligned movie star-most notably lambasted, perhaps, in the scandalous bestseller, Mommie Dearest-Possessed is a fascinating study of the real Joan Crawford, a remarkable actress, businesswoman, mother, and lover.
