Mr. Joan Crawford

Comments (0) By Penn Bullock Thursday, Aug 11 2011

After the death of legendary actress Joan Crawford, her daughter published a book that has gone down as one of the most unflattering tell-alls in history. Cristina Crawford alleged that her mother was an alcoholic, ruthlessly careerist and abusive, capable of attempted strangling, and prone to raging out when finding her clothes on ordinary wire hangers. She was also allegedly a bisexual sex fiend. The veracity of the daughter's account, Mommie Dearest, is disputed to this day. Now, on the 30th anniversary of the cult film adaptation starring Faye Dunaway, the sordid tale is getting a new treatment.
