But seriously, and even though they're not always the greatest of resources, one would think that if there had been any shred of truth in the Joan Crawford rumor, it would have been mentioned in one of PomPress books, particularly the DS Companion. It would be too interesting an anecdote to leave out.
And even more seriously, from a realistic viewpoint it's probably a very good thing that Crawford wasn't ever cast on DS. I mean, her stint on
The Secret Storm was apparently a complete fiasco!
