Pre-Code Hollywood: Classic Stars--Joan Blondell

Nice video compilation of Joan Blondell. While it's impossible to show every scene an actor did in movies, a scene from 1931's Blonde Crazy where James Cagney walks in on Joan as she takes a relaxing bath would have been interesting since we're discussing the pre-code era in Hollywood. Thanks for posting.

My father met Joan Blondell while in California supervising a painting crew at her house. He said she was polite and friendly- not like a "movie star" at all. She invited him to a costume party at her home later in the week and he dressed as a country boy(which he was) as it was the only costume he could come up with. She was his favorite actress and he was her biggest fan until the day he died. Heavenly blessings to you, Ms. Blondell, for giving my father such a special memory.

i know ms. bitc...rich... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joan Blondell, the naughty girl I never met, but wish I did...

A very sexy,talented woman.

As long as they have sidewalks you’ve got a job! 😂

I loved watching her. She was my type of woman——say it like it is!!!!!

Last time i saw joan. She was tormenting William demearest

Joan was funny!

"I'm A P O , "ain't putting out"

I love Joan, especially when she did films with my man Cagney. Of course, they did the "Penny Arcade" play together which later became "Sinner's Holiday," Cags' first film and Joan's second. She's so talented and gorgeous. ❤

Beautiful, talented and a smart cookie.
Dangerous.

Fantastic 💛🌼🏵💛

What a vivacious woman! Such a magnetic screen presence. I think her talent would have shined in any era. I’d much rather watch her than most current Hollywood starlets.

She was a Fine Babe and with that personality would have been my type...... for a good while. Nah, she was Very talented and I can only imagine the kind of reputation she had.

I wish you put the movie title & year on each clip.

WHAT.....a doll!

This is an EXCELLENT edit and montage . It must have taken you a very long time. SO appreciated. I remember this lady from watching all the old films as a boy back in the 1970s on TV in my room.

Wow never saw this young footage of her…!

Kiss me you lug! 😂

Очень яркая " ЗВЕЗДОЧКА" на небосклоне Голливуда в "Золотую Эпоху"!

That was great

I love Joan Blondell. She was extremely hot in the 30s.

That last clip is kinda cruel. 😂

"anything else?"
"Yeah, gimmie a big slice of you on toast..."
Thanks for uploading.

I know Miss b..Rich

What comedic timing

Joan was beautiful and feisty.
Wow! What a combination.

Not a very pleasant character she portrayed.

The late great Joan Blondell. (1906-1979) I always liked Joan Blondell especially when she would team up with the Great James Cagney (1899-1986).

She is fabulous. I going to have to buy some of her films.

Wow! That was special. I think that was the thirties. The women then had real class. Thanks for posting!

She was awesome as a waitress at the Frosty Palace diner in “Grease” (1978)

She’s a looker fir sure

Is this the same Joan Blondell that was in Grease?? I would love for it to be but if it isn’t, I got to say this was a treasure to find either way.

🦋🤩

Only really saw her in her later roles. I never knew the range of her talent before this.

Jimmy Cagney came to movies after being on Broadway at the same time as Joan. He complemented her in his autobiography as being extremely attractive and talented. Jimmy was a happily married man and was only commenting.

A little Clara Bow looking

Gotta love her.

Beautiful, classy, sexy, and talented !!!! Unlike today's no talent excuses for actors and Hollywoods sick, corrupt, communist propaganda Machine !!!

Say, your boss has come up in the world.
Yeah, another month and he’ll be able to kick a worm in the chest.😂🤣😂

She sure could banter :)

A real star.

What a set of eyes!

As long as they got sidewalks, you'll have a job

Ouch!

Great selection of scenes! Have you thought about doing a digital version of your book?
I prefer printed books, but you would not have to worry about finding a printer.
