Photographing the legendary Joan Crawford

The late photographer Eve Arnold captured Joan Crawford in some of her most vulnerable moments - mopping the kitchen floor, undergoing endless beauty treatments, even standing in the nude. Magnum Photos has re-released Eve's images, along with excerpts from her personal notes on working with Joan Crawford, to mark 40 years since the actress' death.
