That was cool about Joan Crawford being on Lucy. I never saw that one. She was little. Thanks for the post.

According to Ann Blyth who played her daughter in "Mildred Pierce" although while 'seemed taller' because of the women she played on-screen,
Joan was barely 5' tall.

Next time Turner Classic Movies (TCM) runs a Joan Crawford marathon of films, I guarantee you will see the short clip from "Mildred Pierce" in which this statement is made.

Oh for Heaven's sake! On Turner Classic Movies (TCM) whenever there is a Joan Crawford film festival invariably a short clip is shown taken from one pivotal scene in "Mildred Pierce" narrated by Ann Blyth---who played Joan's evil daughter. In her narration she states that although Joan seemed taller, she was barely 5' tall!

Joan Crawford was 5'1 or 5'2. She looked 5 inches shorter than Lucille Ball. Lucille Ball was 5'6 or 5'7. Look at this video and pause it at 1:57.
