Page "Joan Crawford" Paragraph 6

Crawford's mother subsequently married Henry J. Cassin.

The family lived in Lawton, Oklahoma, where Cassin ran a movie theater.

Crawford was unaware that Cassin was not her birth father until her brother Hal told her.

The 1910 federal census for Comanche County, Oklahoma, enumerated on April 20, showed Henry and Anna living at 910 " D " Street in Lawton.

Crawford was listed as five years old, thus showing 1905 as her likely year of birth.

However, the state of Texas did not require the filing of birth certificates until 1908, allowing Crawford to claim she was born in 1908.
