Trivia According to JOAN CRAWFORD: THE ESSENTIAL BIOGRAPHY, Joan Crawford "wore her hair that color (blonde) because the actress who was originally to play the part of the mother, Marjorie Rambeau (who'd played her mother in Laughing Sinners (1931)) was a blonde. When Rambeau became ill, the part was recast with a brunette actress, Pauline Frederick, whom Joan greatly admired. Joan's scenes had already been shot, and the difference in hair color was not reason enough to reshoot them. Besides, there was no reason why a brunette mother couldn't have a blonde-haired daughter - or maybe she was just into peroxide." See more »
