     Joan Crawford only appeared in six feature films after 1960, however, she was involved with many productions, which, for one reason or another, were not filmed, or another actress was chosen. The purpose of this section is to document these productions. It's an inaccurate myth that Joan Crawford was not approached for projects during this period of her life. ​The Webmaster's research within this section​​ corrects that incorrect assumption. Also included below are pre-1960 missed opportunity projects that Joan actively sought, was considered for, or was originally slated to appear in.
