Narrative In Favor Of Books Mommie Dearest (Mommie Dearest #1)

When Christina Crawford's harrowing chronicle of child abuse was first published in 1978, it brought global attention to the previously closeted subject. It also shed light on the guarded world of Hollywood and stripped away the façade of Christina's relentless, alcoholic abuser: her adoptive mother, movie star Joan Crawford.

Christina was a young girl shown off to the world as a fortunate little princess. But at home, her lonely, controlling, even ruthless mother made her life a nightmare. A fierce battle of wills, their relationship could be characterized as an ultimately successful, for Christina, struggle for independence. She endured and survived, becoming the voice of so many other victims who suffered in silence, and giving them the courage to forge a productive life out of chaos.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Mommie Dearest (Mommie Dearest #1)

Joan Crawford like many stars of her day had a carefully crafted image. I don't doubt much of this book, especially while reading "Not The Girl Nextdoor". What amazed me the most about this book was that Christina still came across as loving her mother very much even after enduring horrific abuse. Most children who are abused still love their parents which is something that puzzles me. I can understand the anger and outrage Joan's public felt after this unflattering portrayl was released, Joan

Such a crazy story. Very interesting to see the point of view of a girl raised by a psycho. Also a little disgusted how she forgives her later in life, but also not surprising since some people just can't let go of a person who has abused them all their lives. I enjoyed the story though, gives you plenty of information about a mad woman.

Awful woman. Classic narcissist before we knew the term. Well written.

Some great scenes in this book that show Joanie to be the crazy broad we all hope she actually was. However in a good chunk of the book Christina Darling bores us with her 'acting' career and life. However she did come up with more gems than Bette Davis's daughter.....Bette was mainly just scathing and difficult.I saw the movie before I read the book so in my mind Faye Dunaway is Crazy ol' Joan. But if you only want to read the book or watch the movie, watch the movie. The movie compacts all the

3 "poorly written but utterly fascinating" stars !! The 2018 Jeez Louise Award Barely 2 stars for the writing but 4 stars in a fascinating character study of Christina Crawford !! Christina Crawford was a celebrity poster child for alleged abuse done to her and siblings by film actress Joan Crawford who was her adoptive mother. This film terrified me when I was a child and I had nightmares for several weeks after a babysitter let me watch this with her on a friday night. Here is a clip of my 10

A vicious story of an unhinged adoptive mother. She was also a highly admired star of her day. The story was written by her adopted daughter Christina and it paints a very abusive picture. The pain that the book shared was a terrible situation for these little children to be caught up in. There were midnight raids on the closets to check for wire coat hangers. It was a nerve wracking read. Joan Crawford was depicted as a woman that wanted to have a perfect image for the news and magazines, but

I had a friend who adored the movie so I decided to read the book. I'm a big fan of old Hollywood but I do not like Joan Crawford. I don't think she was pretty, talented, or even that good of a person so I thought I'd like this book. However it was nothing but TRASH. This girl is just complaining about ridiculous things. For example: - Fans would send her oodles of presents for Christmas and Joan would let her keep one and donate the others. She complains about that. Joan was trying not to have
