1938- Considered by many to be Shearer's greatest motion picture, her portrayal of France's most scandalous Queen earned her an Academy Award nomination. Though Bette Davis gave a stellar performance that same year in "Jezebel" and won for best actress, I personally feel that Miss Shearer deserved the win. Watch and see why Miss Shearer said that this was her favorite role to play.

1931- Pre-code, classic that gave Shearer her only Academy Award for best actress. The film is outdated by today's standards be it that it deals with such a controversial issue of the time; divorce.

1932- Yet another pre-code film. Though this film earned Lionel Barrymore an Academy Award for best actor, it is more importantly recognized as the film that introduced Clark Gable as a Hollywood leading man. Shearer received an Academy Award nomination for best actress.

1939- In Shearer's last important film of her career, she gives an A+ cat-fight, along with the rest of the ALL FEMALE cast. Shearer plays a woman whose husband has been wooed away by a sleazy shop girl, who is perfectly portrayed by Shearer's real-life MGM rival, Joan Crawford. Directed by famed women's director, George Cukor. "L'amour, l'amour."

1947- Crawford shines in this film noir where she plays a woman who goes mad when the man she loves rejects her. Van Heflin gives an awesome performance as the man Crawford wants but can't have. This gave Crawford her 2nd oscar nomination. "DAVID!"

1956- Joan plays the older woman in a love affair that occurs with a much younger Cliff Robertson. Crawford said that this was one of her favorite fims. “Where’s your decency? In what garbage dump, Mr Hanson? And where’s yours, you tramp? You, his loving, doting fraud of a father and you, you slut! You’re both consumed with evil so rotten your filthy souls are too evil for hell itself!”

1932- Art-Deco film that consisted of an all-star cast including Greta Garbo, John & Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Berry, & a young Joan Crawford. Crawford proves she is able to hold her own amongst Hollywood's best. The film took home the Academy Award for best picture.

1950- Crawford plays tough as nails, Ethel Whitehead, in a picture about a woman who will do almost anything to survive in a world that is dominated by men. Great acting from the entire cast, and a must see for any fan of Crawford and film noir.

1964- What Joan Crawford list would be complete without her ultra B-Picture, campfest, horror film, cheese-ball, cult classic, Strait-Jacket? Definitely not her best role, but non-stop fun. I won't spoil the plot, but watch for her to light a match on a vinyl record. CULT CLASSIC!

1970- Joan's poor attempt at a horror flick brings her long and once fabulous career in movies to an end. *WARNING: FOR OBSESSED, DIE-HARD CRAWFORD FANS ONLY!

1938- Davis took home her 2nd Academy Award for best actress, playing a spolied, southern belle. More than anything, this is remembered as the southern costume drama that wasn't "Gone With The Wind," which premiered one year later. Though the latter of the two is truly suberb, Jezebel remains a great classic, and one of my favorite Daivs roles.

1950- Bette Davis is Margo Channing. Margo Channing is Bette Davis. Never has there been such a film that clicked in every aspect. Davis plays a theater actress who is "up-staged" by a calculating Anne Baxter. Davis earned her 8th Academy Award nomination and the film went on to win Best Picture. "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

1939- Davis always recalled this picture as her favorite. In the film, Davis portrays a flighty socialite who soon realizes that all the time she wastes partying and having fun is all coming to an end due to an illness. Davis garnered her 3rd Academy Award nomination.

1941- Regina Giddens is evil to the core. What she wants, she gets. Davis ruthlessly portrayed this southern vixen, earning her a 5th Academy Award Nomination.

1939- Bette Davis takes on the role of Elizabeth I, who is in love with a much younger Earl of Essex, portrayed by the dashing Errol Flynn. Davis would reprise her role as the Queen 16 years later in "The Virgin Queen", though her performance falls short in comparison to her 1st go round.

1935- Davis' first Academy Award winning performance, where she plays Joyce Heath, a washed up, alcoholic, stage performer who truly believes she is a jinx. Franchot Tone gives a great performance as Davis' jaded lover. Davis always considered this oscar win as a consolation prize for not winning the previous year in "Of Human Bondage."
