For many people, Joan Crawford brings to mind images of poor parenting, but for real fans, Joan Crawford will always remain an icon of the silver screen. Born in San Antonio in 1905, Joan began life a long way from Hollywood, but her early training as a dancer led her to seek her fortune in Los Angeles in the early 1920s. Her beauty and talent helped her to quickly land a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.

Depression-era audiences loved Joan and the rags-to-riches stories in which she was cast. Most of the films at that time portrayed her as a struggling, hardworking young woman who eventually made it to the top. Her own life paralleled that story, with the 1928 film Our Dancing Daughters officially vaulting her to real stardom.

In 1943, she made a move to Warner Bros. and was cast in one of her iconic roles as Mildred Pierce in the movie of the same name. She received an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role. Though she died in 1977, Joan Crawford is still high on the 'great actresses' list of many cinephiles. In fact, Joan Crawford collectibles enjoy active trading online every day.

You'll find classic Joan Crawford movie posters, stills from many of her films, signed publicity photos, actual letters to and from Crawford, Silver Screen magazines, signed scripts, and more. The glamour of Joan Crawford lives on to this day, tinged of course with the drama of her later Mommie Dearest years, but her true fans love it all. And as the years go by, the value of Joan Crawford memorabilia increases.
