'Joan Crawford: Always the Star' Biopic Released

today announced the worldwide release of Joan Crawford: Always the Star. The title is the 14th to be released on DVD from the company"s Hollywood Collection, an award-winning archive of 34 movie star biographies and retrospectives produced by Wombat Productions between 1985 and 1999. This glamorous and hugely popular actress raised herself from brutal poverty to Academy Award-winning stardom by guts, determination and hard work. During her fifty-year career, she made over eighty films. But her obsessive perfectionism led to the later caricature of coat-hanger-wielding harridan that even the adoration of fans could not counter. Still, she has endured as one of the most popular icons of the movies, an early role model to a million young women who aspired to her image of stylish magnetic power and unquestioned independence. Joan Crawford: Always the Star was written and produced by Gene Feldman and Suzette Winter of New York-based Wombat Productions, and is now available for all television, DVD, VOD, non-theatric, and new media markets worldwide exclusively through Janson Media. The DVD also includes a Joan Crawford Photo Gallery, a Meet the Producers slideshow, and trailers of other Hollywood Collection titles. The program is available for online viewing at the Janson Media Screening Room at janson.tv.
