Show notes
Joan Crawford biographer Scott Eyman joins the podcast for a deep dive discussion into the early career of Joan Crawford. We trace how Letty Linton became a “missing” Joan Crawford film and why it still hits with real pre-Code bite once you finally see it. Along the way, we connect the movie to Crawford’s early 1930s peak, MGM studio power, and the craft choices that turned a risky story into a lasting classic.
