Yes I’m Dumped … So What!


I used to cry,
Now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new.
I’m not that chained up little person
Still in love with you.
~ I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor

1931, when I was 26, I romantically came closer to one of the biggest actors. We came so closer to being married. But the studio boss gave him the ultimatum—either chose your career or your girlfriend. And it was me in the losing side—I was dumped!

SO WHAT!

Maybe that’s why, I was successful to portrait the character of hardworking young women who find romance and financial success in "rags-to-riches" stories. Within 10 years of my break up, I even won the Best Actress Academy Award. And when I retired from acting, I set my foot to the corporate, being the President of the Pepsi-Cola company. Who am I? The one of the "100 Sexiest Women of the 20th century," Joan Crawford.
