The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is...

Joan Crawford for Royal Crown Cola
This is from 1944.  

So many people today think of Joan Crawford as the harridan in Mommie Dearest, all rage, and heavy makeup and thick black eyebrows.

She was actually very beautiful in her prime.  Even without makeup.  Years ago, the hubbage and I were in Wellsboro, PA for a weekend, and in the restaurant of one of the old-timey historic hotels there is a sepia photo of Joan from around 1940, when she visited that hotel. In the photo she's very dressed down, and wearing zero makeup.
 
And yet REALLY good-looking.
 
Today it's 'RC Cola.'
