"The self-made glamour goddess DOES fully deserve the glossy
treatment she's getting in "Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star", a
lush new Rizzoli book by Peter Cowie." "The Village Voice
""It's likely that most people younger than 35 only know the lady
as the rumored, child-abusing clean freak...But all that is about
to change. Peter Cowie's beautifully illustrated JOAN CRAWFORD: THE
ENDURING STAR offers a fresh revaluation of the legend's legacy
that should undo much of that damage." "Instinct Magazine
""There is no better current photo album for contemplation...a
frank account of Crawford's life and career that interacts with the
wealth of accompanying photographs." Cinemonkey.com
