Who Killed Joan Crawford?
By Michael Leeds
On a dark stormy night, five men arrive at a cabin in upstate New York to celebrate the birthday of their friend, soap star, Trick Rogers. Each guest is dressed as Trick’s favorite actress and mentor, Joan Crawford, in one of her signature roles. But Trick is late, and while waiting for the birthday boy to arrive, the “Joans” begin drinking and dishing until dark secrets emerge, long-held resentments revealed and soon there’s one Joan less… and then another… and.. Who Killed Joan Crawford?
