What is Possessed : the life of Joan Crawford about?

<p><P>Joan Crawford was one of the most incandescent film stars of all time, yet she was also one of the most misunderstood. In this brilliantly researched, thoughtful, and intimate biography, bestselling author Donald Spoto goes beyond the popular caricature&#151;the abusive, unstable mother of her adopted daughter Christina Crawfords memoir, <i>Mommie Dearest</i>&#151;to give us a three-dimensional portrait of a very human woman, her dazzling career, and her extraordinarily dramatic life and times. Illuminating and entertaining, <i>Possessed</i> is the definitive biography of this remarkable woman and true legend of film.</p> <h3>Library Journal</h3> <p>Author of more than 20 celebrity biographies, Spoto (High Society&#58; The Life of Grace Kelly) begins his latest by sharing a response from Joan Crawford to a fan letter he wrote when he was ten. Though much has been written about Crawford, who died in 1977, Spoto justifies his contribution by writing, because no other movie star&mdash;with the possible exception of Marilyn Monroe&mdash;has been so underappreciated, misrepresented by rumor, innuendo, fabrication, unfounded allegation and rank distortion.
