Joan was also a faithful volunteer at the Hollywood Canteen. "I was there without fail every Monday night," she said.

There are dishes to be washed." "A

Everything was female. The books in the library scene were all by female authors. The photographs and art objects were all female. Even the animalsβ€”the monkeys, the dogs, the horsesβ€”were female.

It was Ernie Haller, who had photographed Bette Davis in Jezebel and Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, who was solely responsible for the visuals in Mildred Pierce, said Crawford.

That evening I went over to Metro and found this long platinum-blond wig. I took it home and styled it, with curls and ringlets at the nape of the neck. The next day I brought it to Bette. She put it on, looked in the mirror, and in a loud voice said, 'It's the NUTS! I love it!' She wore it through the entire picture, and she never knew that it was an old wig of Joan'sβ€”one that Miss Crawford wore in an early M-G-M movie." Norma
