inexplicable leading ladies

Wow, I think you are making a terrible mistake with Joan Crawford.

She became a mega star after getting third billing in the 1932 classic "Grand Hotel". This was an MGM star showcase and her performance in that film was outstanding; one of the best female performances of all time. If you can steal scenes in a movie with Greta Garbo in her prime, as Crawford did, you deserve the status of leading lady.

She may have been scary looking in her later years, but she definitely had star charisma and was a legitimate talent.
