A young Steven Spielberg once worked with legendary actor Joan Crawford much earlier in his career. The director went on to work with a wide variety of big names, but he worked with her before he was entirely comfortable behind the camera on bigger productions. Spielberg recalled a story where Crawford sold Pepsi-Cola to the movie crew to force them to belch.

Spielberg and Crawford worked together on the 1969 Night Gallery. It was a made-for-television anthology horror film with three supernatural tales. Rod Serling wrote and hosted the movie series from an art gallery setting as the curator.
