Film Description: When her adoptive mother Joan Crawford died in 1977, erstwhile actress/author Christina Crawford and her brother Christopher were left out of Joan Crawford's will, "for reasons which are well known to them." Industryites have suggested that it may have been this posthumous act of rejection rather than an alleged lifetime of parental abuse that inspired Christina Crawford to pen her scathing autobiography Mommie Dearest. The 1981 film version of this tome was evidently meant to be taken seriously, but the operatic direction by Frank Perry and the over-the-top portrayal of Joan Crawford by Faye Dunaway (whose makeup is remarkable) has always seemed to inspire loud laughter whenever and where-ever the film is shown. According to the film (and the book that preceded it), Joan Crawford was a licentious, child-beating behemoth, who stalked and postured through life as though it was one of her own pictures-more Strait-jacket than Mildred Pierce. This is the film with the notorious "wire coat hanger" scene, just in case you need a reminder. Surprisingly, one emerges from Mommie Dearest with more sympathy for the monstrous but intensely vulnerable Crawford than for her whining daughter (played as an adult by Diana Scarwid, and as a child by Mara Hobel). Our favorite scene: Joan Crawford dazedly replacing her ailing daughter in the cast of a daytime TV soap opera.

I think my my ass would be dead fuckin wit her i would be like "bitch all we got is wire hangers you dumb hoe" lol

I've read Joan Crawford's biography, and although it was never verified, it was possible that she had bipolar disorder. She was also an alcoholic, which can make a very nasty combination with that disorder. Also, although her biography didn't state it, it is pretty obvious that she had obsessive-compulsive disorder, too, given that she obsessively cleaned her floors. If Christina's Mommie Dearest story is true, and I mean no disrespect, I felt absolutely bad for her.

"you dont' care if your clothes look hunch-backed from wire hangers"...

[merrelise33]

so scary that this was based on a true story..poor children..she didn't deserve to be a mother

[GroundShaker5000]

Fat retard

[Tony Mazzeo]

Faye is one BRILLIANT ACTRESS!!! and for the real Crawford now I know why Bette Davis hated her...this women was psycho!

[exbronco1980]

throughout the whole movie, joan was concerned with what other people thought of her. one scene- but not the only scene in which joan was narcissistic- is when joan was freaking out because she thought christina was making her look bad in front of a reporter. the movie suggests that she only adopted those kids to help her career.

[deigloria francois]

this bitch is crazy, she's worse than me.

[deigloria francois]

wtf where's da daddy in this shit?!?

[K4T3D4WG]

nOoOoOoOo wiIiIiIiIire hangerRrRrRrRrRssss

[SuperRegal79]

Oh Please! Maybe the movie was exaggerated (like all hollywood flicks) but it's not as if Joan Crawford was qualified to be a contender for "Mother of the year". It's been said by quite a few that she was bipolar,insecure and possibly "fond of the sauce". She was likely abusive to both Christopher and Christina. She was most likely unfit to be a mother and only did partially for publicity. Don't make Joan out to be some saint.

[speddygonzales5]

What did she say? at 1:45? all I understood was "you live in the most beautiful house in Brentwood and you don't care that your clothes......from wire hangers." what happened to Christina's clothes from the wire hangers?
