I just don't buy that Joan was that manipulative as Christina's book states. I think Joan was probably strict, but many parents were back then and are today as well. I'm sure it wasn't easy at times being "the daughter of Joan Crawford" but who among us hasn't had some tough times as a kid? I am sure Christina was disciplined from time to time, but I was smacked around alot too and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone - I didn't write a book about it.

Take away your stupid background music and the slow motion and this clip means nothing.
Take a look at her in other videos/interviews. She appears serious. Not smiling that often. I'm like that too. It doesn't make me a bad person. It doesn't mean I beat my kids. No one knows what went on in their house but them. I personally believe Christina was pissed that Joan didn't leave her anything, and set out to write a book that would make her a millionaire. And it did. Karma's a bitch, Christina.
OMG! Of COURSE there is hatred! My gawd people, how can so many of you deny the obvious TRUTH! Just listen to the music in the instant slo-mo replay! If that music doesn't prove the hatred in Joan's eyes and in her mind, then you're all DEAF!
I read that Christina was jealous and extremely envious of her foster mother's fame and success. Joan Crawford was not abusive to her other children. She saw early on what Christina was all about and decided to handle it in her own way. Christina could not compete with her mother in talent or looks, so she decided to exploit their relationship thus ensuring her 15 minutes of fame at her mother's expense. There is your bitch...not Crawford.
"Hatred?" Joan could have made the same appearance without Christina and no one would have noticed. The idea that she was enraged/jealous over the presence of her daughter makes no logical sense. Why would she (Joan) have appeared with her (Christina) in the first place, if any of this were remotely true? As of today's date (01/12), Christina, bless her heart, is long past the time (age 70 and counting) when she should still be suckling on the teat of her mother's fame. Rest dear - enough!
@etienne818 Well, first of all - this was for publicity...and Joan never refused publicity. As for Christina - that bitch is still suckling on the teat of her mother's fame, as she is doing a new one woman show exploiting more of her mother - including nude photo's...Sorry, but Christina is an evil witch.
Also - this video was made as a joke...It's actually so nice to see so many people taking it so seriously...:-)
actually, you are ALL WRONG, yes, Joan was mad, because at the time of this telethon, Christina was staring in her soap opera which her acting was receiving great reviews, taking the spotlight away from Joans fame, Jerry Lewis asked Joan to appear WITH her daughter, this was a slap in the face to Joan who had done the telethon for Jerry for years alone, so yes, Joan was mad.....
That is very silly. Such a professional and experienced actress would have never done that. period. And Joan wanted to be perfect and to show that her family was also perfect. Give me a break... people are still trying to find fire where there arent even ashes... calm down people... So she was an abusive parent... well I am sorry, but there are many more and much worse abusive parents and no one gives a shit about them. Me included.
@musculusgarbos Actually joan was not abusive. Christina made all that up so she could exploit the fame of her mother and make a quick buck...Joan's other daughters swear that she was not as mean as Christina made her out to be...christina was a bitch...still is...
@SeanRMXD Perhaps that's because the other daughters were goody-two-shoes who received a large sum of money when Joan died. Christina and Christopher received nothing. That is being a nasty bitch at it's finest...
@Tanzanite800 maybe the two of them didnt deserve it...after all, she adopted them and gave them a much more that they possibly could have... and everybody knows that you dont say nothing wrong about dead people...when you know that they cant say their side of the story...so conclusion is: cristina is a nasty bitch at its finest
& she just don't even show up to get my Niece. She dont even call her Daughter to tell her as to Why either.... What does that do to a Kid ? So there are BAD Moms out there.... Unfortunately :(
My Ex Sister n Law gave Birth to my Niece..... & the Mother Instinct Never Kicked in..... My Niece is 13 this 12/27. & her Mom is Dumbest Most Selfish & a THIEF & a WHORE ! & she don't Care how it affects Her Daughter. She even took her Daughter Shoplifting w- her..... She's been caught 3 X's that We Know of. & 1st time stole $300- Perfume.... U know what $300 perfume smells like ? 3 Days in the Slammer ! & that Still didn't stop her. It's Suppose to be 50/50 Custody & she just don't even show
Joan sorta flinched and turned away. That’s all I saw. It could be interpreted as animosity toward Christina I suppose. I don’t think Joan was as mean as Christina said she was. What I do believe now is that Christina was a very difficult child to deal with. Being adopted, she probably had abandonment issues. Joan did not give birth to Christina so the initial 9 month physical bond is nott there. Wonder how life would have been for Joan if she was the biological mother?
IF Christina was SOooooo BAD Why did Joan Adopt MORE Kids ???? Her Hands would hv been Full
Maybe some of you out there Not Believing Christina's Story. MAYBE U r or were abusive Parents too & see no Wrong in it. My kids are well Behaved & Yes they got a Smack on the Bum Rarely as Needed from Me. I don't believe in abuse but I do believe the Kids today need a Smack on the Bum as Needed. Kids today hv Zero Respect.
You're looking for things which arent there. And if she doesn't smile broadly when she says Christina it's undoubtedly because Christina did everything within her power to make Joan's life a living hell.
How RIDICULOUS to read hatred in Joan's eyes here. Why on earth would she have arranged an appearance for Christina, who was a nobody, on the telethon, if she hated her? And if Joan was such a horrndous mother, why was Christina, an emancipated adult, still attaching herself to Joan? This video says MUCH more, negatively, about daughter than mother.
maybe a bit of jealousy cause the limelight was off her,,,maybe,maybe not, it`s hard to know what the real truth is behind this story, maybe it was 50/50
People can be phony in public - watch the clip of how she dragged Christina off of the stage a bit later on - she clearly did not want her daughter to steal her spotlight. Also notice how Crawford used her adoptive children as part of her image to an appalling degree, so people would think she was such a wonderful mother. I'm sure she meant to be but she didn't have the time and the patience to be a parent.
I don't blame her a bit. Christina had already established herself as a backstabbing little Diva who was very demanding and spoiled-daughter-of-star-ish. Joan knew Christina was hostile to her by the late 1950s, this is 1968. Looks to me like she was too tired to put up with another evening of "Tina." (According to Vanity Fair, even Bette Davis called Christina a "viper" after Joan's death.)
Joan, who most people said was a truly great person, strong but full of love for her friends and fans (and adopted twins), is totally intoxicated here. Christina, was an incredibly artificial lady who simply didn't have the "it" factor. Not everyone has that. Many THINK they do, when they don't. It is inborn. This provoked Christina's ire, forever. It was bad from the onset between the two. Joan had "it", obviously.
What a load of rubbish. Why does everyone believe the bad stuff about Miss Crawford, she did a lot of good stuff that is never publisied, charity work etc...
Body language doesnt lie, Joan was obviously jealous of her younh daughters looks.
