Who did Joan Crawford sleep with?

Well, according to her one-time co-star Bette Davis, Miss Crawford “slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie.” I won’t pretend to know the sexual secrets of a lady long dead, but as a classic Hollywood fan, I can tell you that she most likely slept with all four of her husbands: Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, Franchot Tone, Philip Terry and Alfred Steele. It is probably also safe to presume that she slept with Clark Gable since the two screen stars engaged in a highly-publicized on again/off again romance for years, even while both stars were married to other people. As far as anyone else is concerned, Miss Davis’ comment notwithstanding, it is impossible to say, but the rumors were rife and they included some surprising names, including Kirk Douglas, Spencer Tracy, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich.
