Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay [=LeSueur=]; March 23, 190?[[note]]Biographers aren't certain what year she was born, with 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1908 being used in various biographies. Hollywood stars enjoyed dropping a few years off of their official ages, and her birth records are believed lost. Crawford herself claimed she was born in 1908, which is the year used on her tombstone. Her daughter, Christina, however, says in her memoir ''Mommie Dearest'' that her grandmother told her Crawford was actually born in 1904. This might be wrong because the birth of Crawford's older brother, actor Hal [=LeSueur=], in September 1903 is generally undisputed and would place her birth only seven months later. The 1910 U.S. Census lists her (under Lucille Cassin, her stepfather's last name) as five years old, implying 1905. Crawford used 1906 when she registered for college in 1922.[[/note]] – May 10, 1977) was an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning American actress who rose to stardom during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood, and was well known both for her commanding screen presence and for her sordid offscreen love life.

The 1910 U.S. Census lists her (under Lucille Cassin, her stepfather's last name) as five years old, implying 1905.1905, but there are numerous errors with spelling and the ages of her family members in the record. Crawford used 1906 when she registered for college in 1922.

Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay [=LeSueur=]; March 23, 190?[[note]]Historians debate on the year of her birth, with 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1908 being written into history books. Considering Hollywood studios enjoyed changing the ages of their stars for more audience appeal (on top of her birth records becoming lost over the years), fans (and gossip magazines) at the time claiming she was born in 1906 were possibly wrong, too. Crawford herself claimed she was born in 1908, which is the year used on her tombstone.
