(Regarding his performance as Luke on "Joan of Arcadia") I don`t feel that I`m playing it like a nerd. I`ve never liked to play stereotypes.

[Before the failure of her first marriage] Too many Hollywood marriages have smashed up because husbands were Mr. Joan Fontaine. That will never happen in our marriage because I am 100% Mrs. Brian Aherne.
Joan Fontaine
If you`re going to be a star, you have to look like a star, and I never go out unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.
Joan Crawford
There is not enough money in Hollywood to lure me into making another picture with Joan Crawford. And I like money. - Sterling Hayden after filming "Johnny Guitar"
Sterling Hayden
[on his ex-wife, Joan Crawford] "She`s like that old joke about Philadelphia: First prize, 4 years with Joan. Second prize, 8 years with her."
Franchot Tone
[on his ex-wife, Joan Crawford] "She`s like that old joke about Philadelphia: First prize, 4 years with Joan. Second prize, 8 years with her."
Franchot Tone
[on Joan Crawford] Whenever she came to the realization that the men she loved simply didn`t come back, she compensated by adopting children.
Hedda Hopper
[Joan Crawford] and I have never been warm friends. We are not simpatico. I admire her, and yet I feel uncomfortable with her. To me, she is the personification of the Movie Star. I have always felt her greatest performance is Crawford being Crawford.

[on Christina Crawford, Joan Crawford`s daughter]: This was a young woman with an incredible attitude. She wanted to be Joan Crawford. I think that is the basis of the book she wrote afterward and everything else. I see what her mind created, the fantasy ...

I`ll tell you one of the reasons I`m ready to leave. When I first came to Hollywood five years ago, my makeup call was at eight in the morning. On this movie it`s been put back to seven-thirty. Every day I see Joan Crawford, who`s been in makeup since fiv...

I`ve been with some good ones, but maybe the best was Franchot Tone. I made two pictures with him and he stole both of them. Something went wrong with how he was handled; or who knows, maybe it was Joan Crawford. But he had everything - great at comedy an...

[when asked to take over Joan Crawford`s role in Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)] "No, thank you. I can just about stand looking at Joan Crawford`s face at six o`clock in the morning, but not Bette Davis."

[talking about Pleasantville (1998)]: "We were thrilled for just the three nominations we got, but obviously it`s a little sad. I went through so many press junkets with people saying they loved it. And Joan Allen was robbed but she can`t get nominated ev...
Reese Witherspoon
[On friend Joan Crawford]: She is five feet four, but she looks six feet on the screen. In a two-shot with anyone, even Gable, (Clark Gable), your eyes fix on her. She is imperious, yet with a childlike sparkle. She is haughty, yet tender. She has no grea...

You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good! [on the death of her long-time nemesis]
Bette Davis
[On the cancellation of `Joan of Arcadia`]: "I`d rather be a on a good show that only runs two years than on a dumb show that`s a hit for like eight years, which is usually the case these days."
Amber Tamblyn
[referring to both the film release of "Mommie Dearest" (Mommie Dearest (1981)), the biography of Joan Crawford written by her daughter Christina Crawford, and the equally scathing book about Bette Davis, written by her daughter] Now I know why tigers eat...

It isn`t so easy to live with an actress. I married Genevieve--not Isabel or St. Joan or Anne Boleyn--but I live with them all...There is a curious internal process going on in her that begins the moment she signs to do a picture. At the first Action!" sh...

If you`ve earned a position, be proud of it. Don`t hide it. I want to be recognized. When I hear people say, Joan Crawford !` I turn around and say, `Hi! How are you!`

[On rival Joan Crawford]: "She has slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie."
