Who would have thought this was Joan Crawford in 1924-25? Born in 1906 (some put it at 1904), Joan started as a traveling chorus dancer based in Detroit under her real name Lucille LeSueur. That was 1924. Her first film was Lady of the Night in 1925, as the body double for MGM's most popular female star, Norma Shearer. MGM head Louis B. Mayer didn't like her last name as it reminded him of sewer. So they changed it to Crawford and Joan added her first name which was shortened from Jo-Anne, the name she wanted.
