a publicity still from 1931's "Night Nurse"
with future husband Dick Powell in "Broadway Gondolier" (1935)
Joan pulled out all the stops for her portrayal of Zeena in the film noir "Nightmare Alley" (1947)
a publicity shot with real life best friend Glenda Farrell, riding them Harleys!!
as 'Flips' Montague in the 1932 Paramount feature "Make Me A Star"
we move on to 1936 and Joan is now married to her co-star Dick Powell in "Gold Diggers of 1937"
riding the rails with the ALWAYS hilarious Guy Kibbee. I believe this is from 1934's "Dames"
court room drama as Joan appears before the press camera during her divorce proceedings against cinematographer George Barnes. Her first marriage was finally dissolved in September of 1936.
although Joan appeared in Busby Berkley's 1933 film "Footlight Parade", she never appeared in the "Sittin' On A Backyard Fence" number, where this costume originates.

Love it! Joan Blondell is a gem.
Adorable. I've never seen any of her movies but it might be time to change that. Give us a list of favorites!
Gold Diggers of 1933 is essential, as is Blonde Crazy and Three on a Match. She's great in those pre-codes.
AGREED!!
