Christina Crawford went public about her mother in an expose in Redbook in 1960

Here is an audio interview with her about the article she penned from 1960 where she exposes Joan as an absentee mother, insinuates that Joan may be jealous of her, and dances around the abuse. She also takes shots at Joan claiming that she was expelled from school. This was years before Joan died. This is no doubt what Joan’s will was about. It’s fascinating to listen to. Joan must have been furious.

I would love to introduce Tina to trellis and my rose axe.

Even now.

Sounds like Mike Wallace doing the interview.

Joan was a monster. She had a rough childhood and it definitely affected her for the worse.

R3 - to be balanced, there were a LOT of fucked up adults walking around during those times. A lot of physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse - it just wasn't talked about or aired in public.

People think that manners in public was so much better back then - and perhaps they were. But behind closed doors? No way was it better then.

Joan knew about the book well before she died. Christinas' "shock" at being excluded was just performative.

Christina said that she thought that they had made amends. They did seem close before her death. Joan was nuts. I always felt really sad for her son Christopher. She really fucked him up and treated him even worse than Christina.

Joan's problems with alcohol was an open secret and a common experience in the industry. The night raids were induced by her alcohol misuse.

Joan and Christina on Christmas Eve.

I love how Joan made Christina and Christopher earn some of their gifts over time. She says that Christina has some gifts from last Christmas still waiting for her that she never earned because of bad behavior.
