Description
Title supplied by cataloger.; Photograph was edited for publication purposes.
Photograph caption dated March 22, 1939 reads, "Joan Crawford, who rose to a million-dollar Hollywood contract by playing film roles of shopgirls who rose to the luxurious leisure life of penthouses, is just a working girl after all. She's shown when she gave a deposition to divorce Franchot Tone and said that he expected her to go out to gay parties at night after she had worked hard all day at the studio and was in no such mood." The hearing was held at her agent's office, located at 1300 N. Crescent Heights Blvd. in what is now West Hollywood.
