had enjoyed a successful film career for close to 20 years – in both silent movies and ‘talkies’ – and was considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood history when, in 1938, she was labelled ‘Box Office Poison’. It was an attack not on Crawford’s acting skills, but the high payments she and the dozen other stars also deemed poisonous would demand for their films – salaries so large they inhibited profits.
The success of 1945’s– for which Crawford won her first and only Oscar – was followed by two decades of both similar triumphs and less favoured films, a slew of which were of the horror-thriller genre. Advancements in film technology from the 1940s and 50s saw a renewed interest in the terrifying, which had never before appeared so real, and Crawford’s varied starring roles – from helpless victim to axe-wielding killer – drew people to cinemas.
