Re: inexplicable leading ladies

In Kirk Douglas's first autobiography(terrific read btw), he says he was very hot for her, and she had a great body back in the day. But when he was just about to do the nasty with her in her house, he realized she was nuts and beat feet hasty.
Crawford looked far more harsh and bizarre as she aged. She didn't start off too bad.
Comparisons to other female stars who rapidly lost their attractiveness:
Angela Landsbury started out as a hottie.
So did Shelly Winters.

Yeah, Crawford was fairly attractive back in the silent picture days but I don't think she really became a huge star until her 40s...
