Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

John (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she makes Liz Taylor look like the second rate skin bag she really is!
"

Colleen (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Love the divas! Fantastic website! My favorite is the great Joan Crawford, I am looking for a picture of her 70 ct star sapphire engagement ring, do you have one?"

Hazen (Brazil) on Joan Crawford
"She's the Queen Bee."

Larry (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I  chose Joan Crawford because she was indeed the true Queen of Hollywood."

Stephanie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She embodies everything that a diva should be!"

Harry (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Just knew she was a bitch."

Tammy (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Loved her old movies."

Chondra (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because I think she's the greatest actress and the most gorgeous too!"

Michelle (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford was a fascinating star who knew what it was to 'owe' her fans. Writing some 5,000 letters per month, my upcoming book is about her somewhat obsessive letter writing and love for her fans. Marilyn, recently posted a story about the time her grandmother met Joan on the street and was invited to dinner with her. What a great fan story for the book? Marilyn, please write me and I'll see if I can incorporate your grandmother's story into the book for all to read. mvozus@aol.com"

Summer (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She's the best!"

Luis (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Read about her and you will see why she is the only diva there is. Even Bette Davis could not destroy her.  That's why Bette Davis hated her.  She was the only woman that Bette Davis could not control. That's what makes Joan the queen of divas."

Kiki (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She survived and was the most beautiful of her era."

Stewart (Canada) on Joan Crawford
"She had style, she knew how to be a star on and off camera for her whole life!"

Matt (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I am just like her."

Stephanie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"The bone structure is enough."

Duncan (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she personifies every single quality a diva must have. She defines the term in my opinion."

Marian (USA) on Joan Crawford
"It is unfortunate that Christina's book has made many lose sight of Joan's career and the good things she did. Joan Crawford didn't only give to people who worshipped her she gave to many because she truly cared. A friend of mine had a friend who worked at Pepsi while she was running it and said she was truly generous, remembering birthdays and when mothers had babies and anniversaries, and to not only the upper staff but those not high up in the company. Joan you are gone from us but not forgotten... viva la diva Joan!"

T. (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Oh come now...  Isn't it obvious?"

Darwin (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Just because she is."

Joe (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is the ultimate Hollywood star."

Barbra (Greece) on Joan Crawford
"Grace, beauty, talent, one of the best actresses that film ever had."

Britton (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Must you ask that question?  Not only was she a raging bitch, but she was glamour and was gorgeous and could demand the attention she received."

John (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She had such style, such grace. No one can hold a candle to her, ever!"

Keith (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She worked hard and played hard."

Angelo (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I think Joan Crawford was a wonderful and talented actress who suffered a great deal in the movie industries. She is a remarkable actress and I adore her."

Nikki (USA) on Joan Crawford
"There is only one diva - Joan Crawford."

Eric (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Miss Crawford - The Ultimate - Her Beauty, Determination, Talent."

Joseph (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she truly was a bitch. She was a "star", not a celebrity. She was nasty and glamorous at the same time. Tiffany Amber Thiessan? You have got to be kidding."

Neil (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was a true star and a real actress.. they don't make movies anymore like she did... a true genius. Her beauty was unmatchable in her day and I still have yet to see anyone match her beauty (in her younger days) on film. A legend!"

Randy (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Great acting ability and beauty plus strength and courage. she came from nowhere at all. Persistence is a top virtue in my eyes."

Tracia (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Nothing but the best. She is the best, no one can even touch Crawford. No One!"

Clyde (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is the queen of glamour."

Dennis (USA) on Joan Crawford
"For beating her kids."

Oberon (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She smoulders on the screen."

Neil (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the most amazing person... she shined... her skin... her hair... her face... her rags to riches story and her strength was just amazing... there will never be another star like Joan Crawford."

Abigail (UK) on Joan Crawford
"This woman lived and breathed DIVA.  In my opinion, no one can surpass this woman!  She was something special and we would be lucky to see her 'like' again."

Steve (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness!"

Richard (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because Joan Crawford is the definition of a movie star.  She is everything that defines a movie star."

Patricia (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was a great actress.  She had the "Look" no one else had. She rose from the bottom to become the best."

Hallie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was sure of herself, like no other has ever been."

Leann (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was, and still is a star."

Kamila (Poland) on Joan Crawford
"She was the best actress I've known. I love her films, and her image. She was one of the big stars in movies."

Mike (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Drama, sex, beauty, evil."

Michael (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She personified class, told it like it was."

Charles (USA) on Joan Crawford
"The hair, the shoulders, the booze, and the slaps!  Woman doesn't get any better than good gracious Joan Crawford!"

Carly (UK) on Joan Crawford
"She was beautiful, talented and I just love her anyway."

Margaret (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because, to me, she was THE image and face of the golden age of Hollywood. Long live St. Joan."

Greg (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"All accounts: The Considine book and Mommie Dearest... wittiest quips... always... and her reaction to Marilyn's death! Classic!"

Ken (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she was a mean bitch & an awesome movie star."

Shayne (USA) on Joan Crawford
"A million reasons! Because she was everything a movie star should be. Because of her devotion to her fans. Because she was the ultimate CLASSY bitch! And because of the following, what George Cukor said about Joan at her memorial service: "She was the perfect image of the movie star, and as such she largely the creation of her own indomitable will. She had of course very remarkable material to work with; a quick native intelligence, tremendous animal vitality, a lovely figure, and above all her face that extraordinary sculptural construction of lines and planes. It caught the lights superbly so that you could photograph her from any angle. The nearer the camera the more tender and yielding she became. Her eyes glistening, her lips avid and ecstatic. The camera saw I suspect a side of her that no flesh and blood lover ever saw."

Jalo (Finland) on Joan Crawford
"Strong independent lady, the only movie STAR in this world."

Gustavo (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford had courage and tenacity and knew the obligations and joys of stardom.  We could use more like her today."

Brent (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"... because she was white trash made good then acted out her real life as a bitch in the 50's movies especially."

Eddie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is *the* bitch."

Shane (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she epitomizes the word Movie Star."

Victoria (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she did it all.  Not always the best of all, but she had a unique feline tenaciousness in her work and life, that made her a diva. Also, watch her silents.  I really believe the silents and early sound work of this actress reveal much more dimension.  She became a stereotype of the characters she created in the end, but even then, in true diva form, she capitalized on it.  She was unsinkable. She did everything well and some things especially well.  Watch her silents and early sound films.  She was so lovely and more agile as an actress.  She did some really serious work. And talk about a great face.  When Joan is on the screen, even when she was aged, you didn't see anyone else.  She came from the gutter and clawed her way to the top.  Now if that isn't diva-hood, in this sense, what is?  But don't forget, she left the world a wonderful legacy of her struggle."

Michael (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I loved her attitude towards things.  She didn't give a damn."

Bezhan (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Not many women have been able to stay as glamorous and appealing to the eye and ear over the years as Miss Crawford has. No matter what anybody writes about her she is and will be a remarkable actress and woman forever."

Alvaro (Spain) on Joan Crawford
"... because she's the queen and she is the greatest star that ever lived and a great actress!"

Anne (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was tough and did not give a hoot what any one thought."

Allen (USA) on Joan Crawford
"No spoken word for such greatness!"

Ava (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She frightens the crap out of me... and I like it!"

David (UK) on Joan Crawford
"Joan was a wonderful and devoted mother, whose Diva status never once detracted from the fact that she wore them two little bastards like a string of fabulous live pearls. If my mother were the Divine Choahn Crawh-fuhd, I would never complain. Choahn, you are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End."

Luis (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Love her, she was cool, great actor, beautiful woman, sophisticated, and when older funny. Sad that she died alone and was drinking so much. But she is one of the divas who doesn't get much remembered because of her Christina darling. People should put what she was to them first... a hell of an actress and a great one."

Tony (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was class and determination to the very end, in spite of the lies her daughter told."

James (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She embodied all the essential qualities of a true diva."

Justin (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because Aces beat King!"

Stephen (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford was the ultimate, hard as nails, tough broad, star diva. To come from absolutely nowhere to the top (and to stay there forever) is quite an act. And Joan's face was a master work. She was Hollywood and no one will surpass her."

Caitie (Canada) on Joan Crawford
"She is my favourite diva because of the image that she has portrayed."

Traci (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Her acting stands alone. Enough said."

Amy (USA) on Joan Crawford
"All the back story between she and Bette Davis contribute to the legend of Crawford as acting diva. Plus, her over-the-top performances in Mildred Pierce, What ever Happened to Baby Jane, and Johnny Guitar."

Laurie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I am so glad to see that you picked Joan Crawford as the Ultimate Diva. What a star! What a face! I am trying to get an attitude like she had-Not taking crap from anyone, and being so confident. I really admired her. I wish I could have met her!"

Robert (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She did it all and survived through the roaring 20s and kept going into the 70's. She always kept on going, she loved acting and life."

Steven (USA) on Joan Crawford
"There is something about Joan that just screams movie star, although if I could have voted twice I would have picked Barbara Stanwyck."

Scot (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is the definition of Star and she carried herself with dignity her entire life."

Michelle (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is the quintessential star. The ultimate diva."

Morgan (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is my favorite diva because she plays such wonderful parts in her movies.  She is mysterious in many ways including her life outside of movies."

Juan Carlos (Mexico) on Joan Crawford
"Por su rostro perfecto y su voz."

Mary (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford was not afraid to be tough and hardworking which in this lifetime makes her a diva but she was a real woman: powerful, eclectic and stunningly talented."

Tom (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Not only was she a great star, she was a great artist, a fine actress, a loyal friend and a cinematic giant."

Geoffrey (UK) on Joan Crawford
"She was a complete star. She was opinionated and had real character. She always slept with the best men possible."

Derek (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan is among the best in the Classic film persona! Her style and flare cause actors and actresses alike to strive to be the best they can be and she knew what it meant to be glamorous... and she was because she's Joan!"

Sam (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is all that!"

J.C. (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she was like a Cinderella story, from rags to riches and the biggest movie star of the silver screen."

Chad (UK) on Joan Crawford
"She gave a whole new meaning to the word!  She's divine!"

Lorraine (UK) on Joan Crawford
"She is the greatest movie star who ever lived! Just try taking your eyes off her. The woman makes me catch my breath whenever she's on screen. A total 100% star!"

Luca (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is my favorite diva because she is gorgeous, sexy, an amazing actress, and a bitch all rolled in one. She was a powerful ambitious woman who got what she wanted. I don't agree with some things she did, but I still think she is the Queen of Hollywood divas!"

Ross (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"Her life and her motives fascinate me."

Klaus (Germany) on Joan Crawford
"Sie ist für mich die herbeste Schönheit die es ich je gesehen habe. She is great!"

Emily (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was beautiful in the 20's and 30's.  She was quite a rare actress, using her skills and talents.  She considers herself a movie star, not an actress."

Ruben (Spain) on Joan Crawford
"Crawford is my favorite diva because she had attitude, glamour and she looked younger than she really was. I love those beautiful eyes and big eyebrows when getting scare. Her face transmits a real balance between vulnerability and strength."

Antonio (Spain) on Joan Crawford
"Maybe she's not the best actress (I think Bette is), but she was the quintessential star, and she knew how to hold her own in a men's world without losing her glamour and charm. I think she meets the force, the beauty and the talent."

J.S. (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She, for me, just embodies and captures the feeling of the 1930s glamour period. She had a hard beginning, and was not at the beginning of her career a good actress. She worked hard to improve herself throughout her life and deserves a lot of credit. She is one of my role models and is constant inspiration. There was something about her that was definite; she was the ultimate. In the creation of Joan Crawford, Hollywood stardom reached its zenith."

Yoel (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she's great."

Katie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the little shop girl who fought her way to the top and once she got there she didn't let go and didn't let anyone push her around!"

Klaus (Germany) on Joan Crawford
"Sie ist eine der schönsten Frauen der Welt gewesen. Sie war einzigartig meiner meinung nach. The most wonderful actress in the world!"

Martin (Chile) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford, for excellence. So glamorous, so splendid, so terrible... so bad! I adored her."

John (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"... because Joan Crawford had spunk. She was the ultimate star, that worked hard and took interest in her fans. She came from nothing, but that didn't stop her from achieving a fabulous life in the acting industry. We will never see another like her.  God bless Joan."

Patricia (Canada) on Joan Crawford
"... cause she just is!"

Ralph (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Too legendary to describe. Flawless acting skills, mixed with just the right amount of tact, and sweetness."

Jim (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is fierce!"

Conny (Germany) on Joan Crawford
"She was so talented and one of the most beautiful women I know. And because I want to become an actress too. She's my idol!"

Francine (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She looks like my grandmother."

Laureano (Italy) on Joan Crawford
"She is very strong, a great winner always.
Potent personality, extreme determination."

Taboolah (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"Hanger fetish!"

Theresa (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Just because she's joan.!"

Nancy (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Her strength and beautiful eyes!"

Susi  (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan always acted and behaved like a lady.
She never went into public without looking like the star she always was. Joan knew what it took to be a star and made the sacrifice!"

Marilyn (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is by far the most enduring female diva due to her survival skills and sheer cunning. Also, my grandmother ran after her once in N.Y. and was shocked when Miss Crawford invited her to dinner and spent more than 2 hours with a complete stranger. She told my grandmama that she was repaying a debt to her for seeing every movie she had done. That was sometime in the mid 30s and before Joan could of been considered old or lonely or washed up. Never was I so moved by one of my grandmama's stories. We still have a great pic of Joan and my grandmama in N.Y. Both young vibrant and every bit divas as anyone before or since."

Alissa (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I have always been amazed by her."

Guy (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford is my favorite diva because she is 1) the ultimate survivor, 2) was the prototype for the acting diva, 3)had a career that lasted 5 decades! She is the ultimate movie star. She didn't care about stage acting - her love affair was with the camera and her fans."

Chondra (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she is so beautiful and she is the ultimate actress. She has made some of the most greatest movies of all time like Mildred Pierce & Sadie Mckee & my all time favorite When Ladies Meet. Many people say she was A really mean person to me she was an angel."

Duncan (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan is a true inspiration. To have come from nothing and yet to have become the ultimate movie star is simply an extraordinary feat."

Kalob (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Incredible actress who could mold to what her fans were looking for in movies. An even though she aged she always played good parts."

Roxanne (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford is by no means my favorite actress but she was a movie star if there ever was one and one of the most glamorous women that ever lived. Her temper, her lovers, all of her is the stuff that legends are made of and all divas should be compared to. In a million years there will still never be a another Crawford. She was true and true an American original."

Ty (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She had balls!"

Erica (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is in that sweet axe killer movie. I love the Baby Jane one too. She always did the gruesome roles which I love!"

Angela (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Her rags to riches story is not only true, it's incredible!  I think that's one of the reasons why Joan Crawford's legend has endured.  She was determined to make it in a world where women weren't supposed to be aggressive.  Yet she not only beat that game, she looked great doing it!  Kudos to Joan Crawford and other women who strive to make their impression upon the world!"

Joel (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the best!"

Laurie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"This woman had more star magic than anyone else. Beautiful, disciplined and talented!"

Frank (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Can't touch her! Flawless, brave, grand, goddess."

Oberon (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she just IS, Blanche, she IS!"

Lisa (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the ultimate glamour queen, and tough as nails!"

Mark (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the ultimate star for all time. She worked hard at acting and being the true diva that she was. Her images will live on forever in film and photos. She is an inspiration to us all. Her career spanned almost 50 years in the film industry, almost unheard of today."

Morgan (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because she is gorgeous and can play anything and make it look wonderful."

Holly (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She tells it like it is, while staying ever so classy!"

E.P. (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Everything about her!"

Jacquetta (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She just represents to me the best of the big shoulder broads. Everything she did and said I wish I had the heart to say. I look up to her image. She was truly a bitch and everyone needs a little of that!"

Clint (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She invented the word diva."

Mark (USA) on Joan Crawford
"The ultimate diva! Plus extra credit for her gay friendliness, sticking up for William Haines, etc. Joan rules!"

John (USA) on Joan Crawford
"The ultimate star!"

Marco (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was everything movie stars aspire to become, but she was the real thing. She came from nowhere and made her life outstanding, despite what that little bitch Christina says."

Janet (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She just had attitude. Not necessary the nicest person, but definitely someone you would never want to cross."

Carrie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Fabulous actress, glamorous, hated and adored, she stands out uncompromising in every way."

Paul (Canada) on Joan Crawford
"She seems like such a bitch! I enjoy that. I admire her because she took shitty scripts and made them into good films. Her acting was superb."

Oberon (USA) on Joan Crawford
"That face! She had the most incredible face when she was young... I admit, later in life she looked like an old drag queen (what was up with those thick, black caterpillar eyebrows?!) ... but when she was younger she just simply smoldered."

Jonquil (USA) on Joan Crawford
"A great bitch and a fabulous overactress!"

Ellyn (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was tough... knew she was in a man's world and worked really hard. Might have been a bitch but had her good points too and was very devoted to her work."

Karin (USA) on Joan Crawford
"A true bitch."

Ronald (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Her presence and endurance - on and off screen. She is the proto-type of an American actress."

Virginia (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She's Joan Crawford! What more is there that needs to be said? Look how her name's survived, even with Mommie Dearest, she's an icon! Personally, I don't think anyone who hasn't been in the business for 30+ years should be called a diva."

John (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was a woman who knew how to get what she wanted when she wanted it. No matter the price! And she was the only queen of Hollywood."

Crystal (Canada) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford is my favorite diva because when she acts in such films as 'Baby Jane', and 'Strait Jacket', and others, she feels what she acts. Even though the movie 'Mommie Dearest' put her in sort of a rut after it first came out, I understand her and will always be a devoted fan."

Michael (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I loved her attitude towards things.  She didn't give a damn."

Jayson (USA) on Joan Crawford
"As was said in Queen Bee: "She will sting you one day ever so gently, you hardly even feel it, till you fall dead in your tracks." Joan will always be a star I love her!"

Bernard (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan Crawford is the original diva!  88 films over five decades!"

Ashton (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the best!  No one could top her and she always kept with the times and she could act. She was just the best and always will be."

Ashley (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan is my  favorite because she has glamour, grace and all b*itchnss that all divas require."

David (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was the ultimate star of the silver screen.  While not a great actress, she was a great persona!"

N.B. (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Need you ask?  She defines the word.  Trashy, campy beautiful trailer park vixen.  Mmm."

Ricky (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She personifies everything that is 'seedy' in Hollywood and show biz in general."

Gary (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She was always glamorous! Always striving for something bigger & better! Even in movies with bad scripts, or directors she made them shine!"

Christian (USA) on Joan Crawford
"She is the ultimate movie star - lived, breathed and exhaled anything that was good about Hollywood's Golden Years: glamour, class, temperament.  It's time for her star to shine as bright as it should, Mommie Dearest notwithstanding."

Kelly (UK) on Joan Crawford
"She was stunningly beautiful, with an appropriately destitute lowly childhood to rise to become the Queen of Hollywood, a product of the publicity dept. who covered over the sleazier aspect of Ms C`s alcoholism and man-eating voracity, truly a diva..."

James (USA) on Joan Crawford
"A true diva lives forever... as is the case with Joan Crawford who has been dead for over 20 years!"

Laurie (USA) on Joan Crawford
"I think Joan was the most glamorous and beautiful of all the Hollywood stars. Her strong work ethic and determination should totally be admired. I think she was a true lady, and people shouldn't poison her name now that she is not here to take up for herself!"

Roberta (USA) on Joan Crawford
"... because Joan was a very hard worker and she didn't take crap from no one especially men."

M.G. (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"She is the epitome of beauty, intelligence, talent and magnificence.  She is, simply, fabulous."

Nick (Australia) on Joan Crawford
"She's gorgeous and determined and successful and supremely elegant."

Mark (Philippines) on Joan Crawford
"... because she kicks royal ass!"

Michael (USA) on Joan Crawford
"Joan is the beginning, the middle and the en
