Okay, this question is mostly (though not necessarily) for straight men...

You have a much more extensive repertoire of films long gone Mr. Dirty than I, so no, I haven't seen any of these films you have mentioned recently, except for Eve and Baby Jane and I love both. I have only seen Crawford in Straight Jacket and Baby Jane. So your statement that claims Crawford couldn't do sincerity or warm, pretty much defines ole' Mommie Dearest in a nutshell.

Do you know if Davis made her comment about Dunaway after or before MD?

This thread has amused me, because you started it as a thread predominantly for straight men and its ended up as a discussion about Davis and Crawford. It couldn't get any gayer.
