I have read several of the books, and while I usually lose the thread of the plot, Chandler's style is delectable! I am so glad that old Hollywood screenwriters lay them on thick.

I've decided now, in retrospect, that I can appreciate her as an actor regardless of her personal life. It's sort of how I have to view Tom Cruise as well.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-79714374952784240392013-11-28T12:52:23.781-06:002013-11-28T12:52:23.781-06:00On the DVD I got there is a 1½ hour long feature o...On the DVD I got there is a 1½ hour long feature on Joan Crawford. I was quite shocked to learn what sort of person she was. I had no idea.
