Has anybody seen "Mommie Dearest"?

I'm watching it now....NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!! <Shudder> I'm having flashbacks of my mother! Have you ever known anybody as crazy as that? I thought my mother was the only one until I saw that movie!

Wow... I just put in a package to my sister, who's overseas, a copy of "Mommie Dearest", because she cannot find it where she's at and some of her friends want to see it.
I also have a copy and I watched it a few times...
It's incredible, isn't it?
Did you know the movie is based on the book Christina Crawford, Joan's daughter, wrote?
Yes, that's real; and real events lived by her and her little brother under the same roof with their mother, Joan Crawford.

Everything was taboo back then, all hush-hush, otherwise Joan Crawford would of been in prison for Child Abuse...
It is just incredible what an adult would do to a child. Just... Speechless.
But incredible is the outstanding performance by Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford. She was nominated for the Oscar as Best Actress that year, but she didn't win. Too bad. She was excellent.

Last week I found out my husband was beat by his mom with a wire hanger. We have been married for 15 years. How sad is that? He was also beat with wet towels and her hands. What a bitc* to knock her kid on his butt when he is 7 years old for getting out of bed in the morning and asking if they are going to Sunday School. I never liked her before. Now I just plain old don't respect her.

That show is scary!

That movie left me disturbed for awhile. I saw it when I was like 5 years old. I still remember the wire hanger scene.
