Joan Crawford, whose screen roles included some of the most celebrated films of her day, was known in Hollywood for a larger-than-life style that extended well beyond the set. In this book she offers her own guidance on how to live with polish and glamour. Part recollection, part household advice and part manual for elegance, it covers entertaining guests, managing a marriage, and everything from fashion and makeup to manners. Written in the early 1970s, it has become a cult favourite, and it offers a window onto an era when movie stars seemed to embody class and Crawford stood at the very top of the industry.
