Page "Joan Crawford" Paragraph 41

Crawford's appearance in the 1969 TV film Night Gallery ( which served as pilot to the series that followed ), marked one of Steven Spielberg's earliest directing jobs.

She starred on the big screen one final time, playing Dr. Brockton in Herman Cohen's science fiction horror film Trog ( 1970 ), rounding out a career spanning 45 years and over 80 motion pictures.

Crawford made three more TV appearances, as Stephanie White in an episode of The Virginian ( 1970 ), entitled " The Nightmare "; as a special guest who performed in multiple sketches on The Tim Conway Comedy Hour ( also in 1970 ) ; and as Joan Fairchild ( her final performance ) on an episode of the television series, The Sixth Sense, entitled, " Dear Joan: We're Going To Scare You To Death " ( 1972 ).
