Flapper Joan Crawford is my favourite version of Joan - as F Scott Fitzgerald said, “…Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.”

Billie Dove in what looks to be a fabulous lamé gown

Billie Dove in top hat and tails. Every actress of the 20s and 30s seems to have done this look at some point - some better than others! Gloria Swanson liked to get in character and see if she could pass.
