Fox News
Joan Crawford, known for her Oscar-winning role in "Mildred Pierce," a feud with co-star Bette Davis and controversial relationships with her kids, died on this day in history, May 10, 1977.
Amid the jazz-age flapper movement, she was in search of a dance career until she was discovered while performing in a New York chorus line in 1925 by MGM, according to Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "Whether the Academy voters were giving the Oscar to me, sentimentally, for 'Mildred' or for 200 years of effort, the hell with it – I deserved it." "Her portrayal of a good-hearted flapper in her 21st film, 'Our Dancing Daughters' (1928), made her a star." Well done, darlings.
