Line 8:
** She also apologized to her fans for the film ''Rain'', which was critically panned at the time.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: As a facially-disfigured woman who turns to blackmail in ''A Woman's Face''.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: She showed up as an extra in the original ''[[Ben -Hur]]'' in 1925, years before she became famous.
* [[Romance Onon the Set]]: With [[Clark Gable]], Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Phillip Terry.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: ''[[Our Dancing Daughters]]'', which proved that Crawford could make the jump from silent films to "talkies".
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: Rumors have persisted for decades that Crawford starred in a porn film when she was a young woman, and that MGM obtained the master copies of the films and burned them to prevent anything from leaking out. At the time, she was feuding with MGM over her salary, and someone tried to extort money by claiming they had a film of her - which MGM viewed and said was not her. However, she did take part in a "peepshow" vignette (where she danced naked) in 1923 to earn enough money to pay for a trip to Chicago.
