In a new interview in Interview with actor Cole Escola, Mia Farrow flashed back to some classic Hollywood memories of her youth — including numerous interactions with legendary actress Joan Crawford that young Farrow found “scary.”

After Escola expressed his fondness for Crawford’s film Dancing Daughters, Farrow noted “She’s scary. And she was scary in person as well.” Shen then recalled meeting Crawford on the Fox lot, where a teenage Farrow was shooting the TV adaptation of Peyton Place. Crawford — who was 39 years Farrow’s senior, and married to Alfred Steele, president of Pepsi-Cola and her fourth husband — began to engage in some odd behavior around Farrow.
