Fortune smiled down upon me,and I made an unusual find on a rare item today.

[Maj.Nick Danger]

A real honest-to-goodness hand signed photo of Joan Crawford.

Has an official looking stamp on the reverse too.

 

[Grace]

Wow!! How neat!

 

[Tomasso]

Nice!

Details?

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Details?

It says,..."Hello to Laura (?) from Joan Crawford".
Definately the real deal as the ink has rubbed off slightly from the "m" in the word from, and I can see the indentation of the pen on the photo's surface.
Looks to be vintage 40's or 50's.
As to it's value,... I could not hazard a guess. [huh]
I dare not say what I payed,...

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Dated 1950

After a bit of research I am fairly sure this is a publicity shot for the 1950 Warner Bros. film, "The Damned Don't Cry". Judging by the hair, make up and wardrobe in this shot,....

There's only one thing left to say:

NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!!!

Aw come on. I dare you to.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Aw come on. I dare you to.

Nope, too scandalous!

Joan Crawford Factoid.

My research into the exact date for this photo yielded an interesting bit of information.
It turns out that Steven Spielberg's first job as a director in the early 70's,was an episode of Rod Serling's "Night Gallery" which starred Joan Crawford.

Is that the one where she gets an eye transplant from a poor guy?

Yup. An over-the-hill pugilist, to be exact. In Rod Serling's short story, he's an American Indian whose head had been rattled from years of boxing. After his eyes are taken out, he kills himself.
