Infobox image
There have been so many changes to the infobox image in the past few months that it’s time to settle this and stop the continued fighting. I’ve gathered the 5 most recent images into one vote gallery so that we can go ahead and vote on this. If anybody has any other image suggestions, please feel free to drop them. But it’s past due for us to vote on the issue.

 * Anyone of them is fine with me with the exception of Option A, that Maybelline ad. Doesn't look at all like the iconic Crawford... Shearonink (talk) 20:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Option B is the one I like most. I personally remember her for her black and white movies, so I wouldn't choose Option A, but that's just me. Buenovale (talk) 15:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

An authoritative investigation
After reading this I'm convinced 1906 is correct:

Permanent removal of signature
Crawford’s “signature” has been added and removed multiple times since at least 2023. It has been posted it is not her signature, but actually a secretarial one. It has now reappeared. The issue being fans are getting this tattooed on them. Goldduxxt (talk) 13:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * When I went to the PBS to find the refs for Crawford autographs, thi particular signature in the article is not clearly stated as actually being Crawford's. It is also nowhere near being a duplicate or even similar to the other PBS signature. Crawford's signatures on legal documents - here at the History for Sale website, are clearly not at all the same as the one at Commons.
 * To me the tattooing is neither here nor there so far as WP content is concerned. What is the issue is if the clear identity of the person who signed this name can be verified as actually being Joan Crawford. And that fails verification. - Shearonink (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * FYI to anyone who is interested. I have nominated the file for deletion on Commons. - Shearonink (talk) 15:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
