Joan Crawford’s Weird Obsession with Plumbing
Joan Crawford, super star of the 1930s and 40s, had a little obsession with bathrooms. Every time she stayed in a hotel room, she scrubbed the bathroom (including the toilets, tubs and bathroom faucets) herself before using it. Her other weird bathroom obsessions included:
- After a workman installed a new toilet and bathtub in her home, he used them. She immediately had everything torn out.
- Every time Joan married, she would change all the toilet seats in her house.
- Joan wore gloves whenever she left the house because of her germ phobia.
The movie Mommie Dearest is starting to make a little more sense now!
