#Quote
1She was Joan Crawford the star and that's how she wanted everybody to see her. One of the things she constantly said to me was you never go to the market even unless you're dressed the best you can possibly dress. She wanted to be the lady and she was wanting to be royalty with almost a tiara type look with the jewels. I'm sure that she felt she owed all this to her public. You got the idea that the public wanted to see you as a movie star. And once you were there you owed it to those people out there to be your best.
2[on Joan Crawford] I just don't understand how she allowed that strong outward personality, allowed the fragility, the vulnerability, the fear to overcome her near the end. It seems to me that even when we were doing Strait-Jacket (1964) that she was also having her drinks before everyone went home. That can cause you to do a lot of things. You don't handle things well. It is ironic that at the last part of her life that she allowed herself to not be her best. We mustn't forget that there's a dark side to every great person. We have to remember that we cannot expect everybody to be perfect.
3[on working with Joan Crawford on The Best of Everything (1959)] She had just lost Alfred Steele, and there were moments when she was having a very difficult time. I saw that she was very vulnerable and that she was just about holding it together. I saw her several times, sitting by herself before a take and crying her eyes out. I brought her a box of tissue and gave her a sign that indicated, "You're going to be fine!" and that meant a lot to her.
