Borderline Grafix honors a fellow Lone Star State Star





Borderline Grafix, aka B-G, aka Biggie has honored me with a card which honors fellow Texan Joan Crawford. As the mini-bio-bio on the front of the card states, Crawford was born in San Antonio and died in New York, so it is fitting this card places Joan's image over a postcard described as showing a lineup at the New York City sub-treasury of folks waiting to purchase newly minted Lincoln pennies. This is both a clever and somewhat startling juxtaposition.

During her life, Crawford received many accolades, include Academy Awards, but this little card from a never-predictable B-G is a very nice tribute to a very complex woman. She has been considered one of America's greatest actresses ever, but she also made some real loser movies and will be remembered in part by her daughter's depiction of her as "Mommy Dearest."

Muchas gracias, Biggie. Sorry to take so long to post this sweet piece!
