![]() Joan Crawford was tough-a defense mechanism that she likely developed during her difficult childhood. And for yours truly, street credibility just doesn’t get any better than being immortalized by the mighty BÖC. Even Blue Öyster Cult wrote a song about her. She also served on the board of directors of the Pepsi-Cola Company for well over a decade. ![]() ![]() She was a talented dancer and worked as a showgirl before starting her long career in Hollywood during which she became one of the most iconic actresses of all time. Though she was widely vilified by the gossip columnists of her time and is best recalled today for being a very bad mommie, it is impossible to dispute the fact that Joan Crawford was one hell of an actress. A fantastic promo shot for Eartha Kitt’s 1954 single “I Want To Be Evil” from the album ‘That Bad Eartha.’ More famous faces in their Halloween costumes after the jump…Ī terrifying still of Joan Crawford and her best friend, an axe, from the 1964 film, ‘Strait-Jacket.’ ![]() Actress Yvonne Craig in a Halloween-themed photo as Batgirl. So you might want to get comfy before you start plowing through the images below because there are a lot of them including an epic shot of Maila Nurmi (Vampira) hanging out with a pal who dressed himself up as a “deceased” version of James Dean that you simply have to see. Like other posts I’ve done like this, once I got started looking for photos of famous people celebrating Halloween, I just couldn’t stop. Because I plan on continuing along with various Halloween-related activities, it seemed more than appropriate to share a few choice vintage (and sometimes slightly bizarre) photographs of famous pinups, movie stars, and even Elvis Presley vamping it up for Halloween. Ah, the bliss that is dressing up like someone or something other than our old, boring selves and swilling booze all night because you never really grew up and that’s o-fucking-kay. I’m sure many of our Dangerous Minds readers are still recovering from whatever pre-Halloween party you hit up over the weekend-I know I am, that’s for sure. Yes.Īfter not-so-patiently waiting for the first 30 days of October to pass, Halloween has finally arrived. Check them all out below! Many more after the jump…īettie Page dressed up like a devil in a black catsuit. Like Bette Davis’ “Mustard Gelatin Ring” which sounds about as appetizing as the rat she served to Joan Crawford in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), and actress Bea Arthur’s fancy-sounding “Avocado with Jellied Madrilene.” For those of you who lack Arthur’s gastronomical refinement, madrilene is a cold tomato consommé. The majority of the recipes are of the traditional variety-such as beef stew and meatloaf, though there are a few curve balls. I’ve included a nice selection of recipes shared by icons such as Cary Grant’s barbequed chicken, Boris Karloff’s guacamole (which calls for sherry mind you), and Johnny Cash’s “Old Iron Pot” family style chili. Most of the recipes below were published in the 1978 charity cookbook, Habilitat’s Celebrity Cookbook, 1930’s What Actors Eat When They Eat, and 1981’s Celebrity Cookbook. While I love pie and bourbon just as much as anyone else, I also like to cook so I thought it would be fun to share some fun celebrity recipes from yesteryear. The annual feeding frenzy is now in full swing ready to send our cholesterol into outer space while we simultaneously pour all kinds of delicious booze all over our livers. On average, people gain anywhere between seven to ten pounds over the holiday season. Drunk, hiding in the bushes and eating cake. Johnny Cash is all of us this holiday season.
