"She demands the things to which she knows she has the right, and will ask for no more until she knows with all sincerity she is worthy of it. When she meets with disappointment she has a tendency towards bitterness rather than remorse, which no doubt, is a throwback from an acute memory of less happy days. She is extremely sensitive to surroundings and instantly conscious of any discord…she is intolerant of people's weaknesses. Jealousy is not in her make-up, but she resents those who have become successful without serving the same trying apprenticeship that she herself experienced." -Douglas Fairbanks Junior

Claudette Colbert (born Émilie Claudette Chauchoin; September 13, 1903 – July 30, 1996) was an American actress most known for It Happened One Night (1934). Despite both her marriages being seemingly legitimate and loving, rumors of Claudette’s affairs with other actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Marlene Dietrich followed her for her entire career. Most notably, Claudette had a very public intimate relationship with the "out" lesbian artist Verna Hull in the 1950s. Although Claudette denied the rumors that she was bisexual or a lesbian, she and Verna rented a home together in New York City and even had neighboring vacation homes in Barbados. The relationship ended abruptly and on bad terms in the early 1960s after the death of Claudette’s husband. When Claudette passed away on July 30, 1996, she left her entire estate to another woman named Helen O’Hagan, whom she instructed in her will to be treated “as her spouse.” "She certainly moved with great ease in gay circles," said a friend. "I used to see her at George Cukor's, and there would be quite the carrying-on. She was never shocked. It was a world she was comfortable in. It was taken for granted that she was gay, or at least not conventionally straight." "We used to call her "Uncle Claude"," said Don Bachardy, the lover of the writer Christopher Isherwood. "Actually, I think she's really a good example of a very closeted situation. Only well within her own circle did they know the truth."

I hate her! Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Please, no, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please, I love you. I hate you! I love you. Goddammit, I hate you!

its my impression only,or i feel like Mitzi looks like if Joan crawlford and clara bow were the same being?

Like,am i getting crazy?

It's not crazy. Mitzi's looks are pretty heavily inspired by Clara Bow, and other stars/starlets of the silent era who wore a similar look. The cherub face, cupid bow lips, and dramatic eyes were very much in style in the 1920s.

Mitzi's got a much softer, rounder face than Joan Crawford in my mind. Crawford had bone structure to die for, but I can see what you're getting at, I think, around the eyes and brows. Here's Joan's 1920s look, where the photographer is really trying to emphasize eyes and lips while seemingly downplaying her facial structure. Her 1930s look really embraces the fact that she has an entire face.
