This brooch is best known for its appearance on Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund in 1942’s 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘢, but it was worn both before and after her performance in the classic film.   After Casablanca, the brooch found its way into another cinematic gem with 1945’s 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦, where the magnificent Joan Crawford wore it in the title role. It was seen a second time in 1945, in the film 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵, this time on Rose Hobart as Kathryn Mason.   Who was the original person who wore this piece? Find out: Bit.ly/Acces132

”An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words. ~Sanford Meisner  Following a whirlwind courtship, acclaimed playwright Myra Hudson (Joan Crawford) marries Lester Blaine (Jack Palance), a slick actor (are there any other kind?) she has just fired from her latest play. Shortly after the honeymoon, Myra overhears Lester and his lover, Irene (Gloria Grahame), plotting to murder the wealthy writer for her inheritance. As you do. Sudden Fear is a 1952 American film noir directed by David Miller, and starring Joan Crawford and Jack Palance in a tale about a successful woman who marries a murderous man. The screenplay by Lenore J. Coffee and Robert Smith. #noirvember #gloriagrahame #jackpalance #joancrawford #nftcollector #nftartist #nft_club #digitalart #cryptoart #art #ethereum #opensea #nftcollectors #tezos #nftdrop #heartbreakcityla #nftcollectibles #solana #openseanft #nftcollection #nftartists #eth #tezos #consciouscryptocreator #nftartwork #artwork #VanBrieezyArts #shawnvanbriesen (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cks0ykjLdul/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Why Joan Crawford Remains an Icon

Joan Crawford’s enduring legacy as an icon of Hollywood is rooted in her unparalleled ability to reinvent herself across different eras of film, embodying the shifting cultural landscape with grace and grit. Her ascent from a chorus girl to a powerful leading lady illustrates not only talent but also profound determination in an industry that often sidelined women. What sets Crawford apart is her unyielding command over her narrative; she transformed personal turmoil into palpable on-screen intensity, particularly in films like Mildred Pierce, which earned her an Academy Award and solidified her status as a symbol of resilience.

Moreover, Crawford’s reputation extends beyond cinematic achievements; it encompasses the authenticity behind her public persona. Behind the glamour lay a complex figure whose fierce independence often defied societal norms of femininity during the mid-20th century. Her candidness about her struggles, detailed in her memoir A Portrait of Joan, invited audiences to connect with the real woman beneath the sequins. Today, as we dissect themes of empowerment and identity within popular culture, Crawford's story resonates more than ever—reminding us that true icons are those who transcend their time through vulnerability and sheer tenacity.

This spectacular gown, covered in nearly 2,000,000 hand-sewn glass bugle beads, was designed by Adrian for Joan Crawford in the 1937 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒅. 👰‍♀️ The gown weighs around thirty pounds, is still in existence, and is still in excellent condition considering its age. Despite the film’s title, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒅 was made in black and white, ⚫ ⚪ and the color of the dress was not able to be fully appreciated. The dress made its second appearance in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 in 1941 in a fashion show scene, 💃💃💃 where an uncredited extra wore it as a model. Though this film was also in black and white, Groucho Marx explains to the audience, “This is a bright red dress” because “Technicolor is sooo expensive!” Finally, the dress appeared in color in the 1943 film 𝑫𝒖 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝑨 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚, where it was worn without the matching capelet. It was worn by Inez Cooper as “Miss December.” 🗓 This gown has been used in even more films than listed above. Find out which ones by visiting our website.
