JOAN CRAWFORD - AUTOGRAPHED LETTER - Joan Crawford, pseudonym of Lucille Fay LeSueur (San Antonio, March 23, 1904 – New York, May 10, 1977), was an American actress. Considered one of the most famous stars of the golden age of Hollywood, she began her career in the 1920s, during the silent era, but achieved great success especially in the 1930s and 1940s in films such as Grand Hotel (1932), The Dance of Venus (1933) and Women (1939) in which she embodied a new generation of young, ambitious, independent and determined American women, becoming one of the most popular and well-paid divas of her time. After a period of less success, in the second part of her career she distinguished herself in more dramatic and mature roles, trying her hand at memorable performances in films such as Mildred's Romance (1945), which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1946, Johnny Guitar (1954) and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), in which she shared the screen with Bette Davis, her great cinematic rival of the time. The American Film Institute has placed Crawford in tenth place among the greatest stars in the history of cinema. Letter with autograph.
