JOAN CRAWFORD | QUEEN BEE (1955) Portrait by Robert Coburn

Los Angeles: Columbia Pictures, [1955]. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin photo. Minor creasing at bottom corners. Just about fine.

Joan Crawford appears at her campiest best in this portrait in which she possesses the diva attitude of her role in the melodramatic QUEEN BEE. The sun suit she models is that for which Jean Louis was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, Black and White. The photo includes the original paper blurb on the verso as well as the stamps for Columbia Studios and photographer Robert Coburn.
