I would say that it's interesting that the eldest child should be the last survivor but all four of the children had different genetics, so it's a bit less surprising.

I've always been inclined to believe Christina.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and have Christina live with Bette and BD live with Joan.

It'd be interesting to see the results.

Did Christina ever have a career apart from trashing The Queen Of Hollywood?

When did she ever trash Marilyn Monroe?

The documentation of Christina Crawford's pattern of lying and coloring her life with Joan is very persuasive. She wanted money and revenge, and is an unbalanced person.

She's a bigger cunt than Joan was, and that's saying something.

If only Joan knew what a monster she would turn out to be, she would have remained with the people at The Tennessee Children's Home Society who stole her from some toothless inbred teen. And she sucked on Secret Storm.

She's 84...and she still knows where to find the booze and the boys.

Now choose one present, Christina, and the rest go to charity.

I donot wish her a happy birthday, for reasons which are well known to her.

Mommie Dearest the book isn’t as brutal as the film.

Hats off to Christina for breaking down the door for talking about child abuse, making it an actual thing and something that wasn’t even considered abuse before.

But I think she over exaggerated. I think Joan was bad but reading the book, Christina sounds like a spoiled brat re-imagining her version of events.

by Anonymousreply 22June 12, 2023 12:24 AM

Christina hates the movie but the movie benefited her because the book was really questionable. And it reimagined that interview.

Someone posted it here and Joan and Christina were publicly at war with each other before her death. Joan came out, was it Life magazine, and blasted Christina for being spoiled and an opportunist.

Joan cutting them out of the will was actually not the shock it was as it’s depicted in the movie.

Christina knew she was cut off, that’s why she wrote the book.

And I think she hates the movie because it overshadowed her as the star and they rejected two of her scripts.

Was Joan unable to have kids, or she just didn't want to ruin her figure?

by Anonymousreply 24June 12, 2023 12:39 PM

She must have been happiest during the mid to late 1970s. She’s worn the same hairstyle, mostly, since then. (She cut it short, for a brief time, after she had a stroke.)

by Anonymousreply 25June 12, 2023 8:27 PM

Christina was a little tramp, slutting around at the age of 11. Joan had an out of control kid and her methods of dealing with Christina weren't considered abusive at the time.

Joan accused Christina of putting the moves on Alfred Steele which I believe was true.

Wasn't Joan in her mid 30s and single when she adopted?

I bet she wished Joan could or would have kept that LA mansion. Would have been worth so much money.

From Redbook 1960

Joan Crawford remembers that when Christina was very young, mother and daughter were "racing" through the water of the 65-foot swimming pool of the Brentwood estate.

"I let her win eight times," the actress says, "and then on the ninth time I struck out just a little bit and I won. She took a look at me and she swam back over to the steps and climbed out of the pool. She stood there and said, 'I'll never play with you as long as I live, never.' I said, 'Christina, look, my body is longer than yours. I could have won all the time. I'm bigger than you are. I'm faster than you are. I can win all the time. Now let's get back in the pool and play.' I picked her up to throw her into the pool and jumped in with her and made her swim."

I was watching TCM’s presentation of The Damned Don’t Cry yesterday when our power went out! For no reason! It was a still, sunny, 70s something degree day. I was livid enough to whip my wig off.
