Joan Crawford in "Our Dancing Daughters" with Robert Montgomery in 1928.
“She is the only star I know who manufactured herself…She drew up a blueprint for herself and outlined a beautiful package of skin, bones, and character and then set out to put life into the outline. She succeeded, and so Joan Crawford came into existence at the same time an overweight Charleston dancer, born Lucille LeSueur, disappeared from the world.” -Columnist Louella Parsons on Joan Crawford
