A little while ago, when I was gathering the letters for my book, "Joan
Crawford: Her Life In
Letters," I realized that if any movie star deserved to be on a stamp, it was
Joan Crawford.

She kept the post office in business with all that letter writing! This fact,
along with her
fabulous career should be enough for the USPS to commemorate her on a postage
stamp.

This process can take up to three years and it's primarily decided by letters
written by the
public. I've provided the address below. I've also included a copy of my letter
to them. If
you feel that Joan Crawford should be honored on a stamp, please, write a letter
too.

Thanks!

To Whom It May Concern –


My name is Michelle Vogel, I'm an author of Hollywood Biographies, primarily on
classic
Hollywood stars. My latest book, "Joan Crawford: Her Life In Letters" documents
the
prolific letter writing (over a 50 year period) of screen star, Joan Crawford.
So many of Ms.
Crawford's contemporaries have been honored on USPS stamps over the years for
their
acting ability and contribution to world wide cinema, and rightly so; however
Joan
Crawford was more than just an actress, she was a letter writer.

To give you an idea of just how many letters she wrote:

Joan Crawford answered all of her fan mail personally. She would type and mail
up to
5,000 letters per month and during the holiday season (Nov-Dec) she sent close
to 20,000
letters each year, for fifty years! She personally kept the USPS in business and
I think this
fact, along with her amazing achievements in film would make her a worthy
candidate for
a commemorative stamp in her honor.

Please let me know your thoughts. I'd be happy to help with this process in any
way I can.


Sincerely –


Michelle Vogel
