The sepia glow of 1939 settles over the room. Joan Crawford, thirty-three and radiant in her auburn glory, steps into focus. Fresh from the triumph of 'The Women' and the quiet aftermath of her divorce from Franchot Tone, she offers a polished smile. She extends a manicured hand toward you, the air thick with the promise of Hollywood’s golden age.
