She started her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical compani es before debuting on Broadway. Crawford was signed to a motion-picture co ntract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. Initially frustrated by the size an d quality of her roles\, Crawford launched a publicity campaign and built an image as a nationally known flapper by the end of the 1920s. By the 193 0s\, Crawford's fame rivaled MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hardworking\, young women who find romance and fina ncial success. These "rags-to-riches" stories were well received by Depres sion-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hol lywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in t he United States\, but her films began losing money. By the end of the 193 0s\, she was labeled "box office poison".\n\nAfter an absence of nearly tw o years from the screen\, Crawford staged a comeback by starring in Mildre d Pierce (1945)\, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.\n\ nCrawford married four times. Her first three marriages ended in divorce\; the last ended with the death of husband Al Steele (CEO of Coca Cola). Sh e adopted five children\, one of whom was reclaimed by his birth mother. C rawford's relationships with her two older children\, Christina and Christ opher\, were acrimonious. Crawford disinherited the two and\, after Crawfo rd's death\, Christina published the tell-all memoir "Mommie Dearest".\n\n  \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://themajestictheatre.com.au/wp-content/upl oads/2026/01/MV5BMGI5MDU5MzktM2U4NS00ODYxLWFiY2MtNDM2NTg0NmQzM2E5XkEyXkFqc Gc@._V1_.jpg CATEGORIES:Silent Film LOCATION:The Majestic Theatre\, 3 factory street Pomona QLD 4568\, Pomona\, QLD\, 4568\, Australia GEO:-26.365581;152.857578 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=3 factory street Pomona QLD 4568\, Pomona\, QLD\, 4568\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Maj estic Theatre:geo:-26.365581,152.857578 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Australia/Brisbane X-LIC-LOCATION:Australia/Brisbane BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20250117T120000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1000 TZOFFSETTO:+1000 TZNAME:AEST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
