But is it telling the truth? Or not? It'd be nice if a neutral party would investigate that, to the extent that it can be. Most of the consternation over Mommie Dearest is about the book being trashy, a stab in the back, and a tastelessly public airing of dirty laundry. But whether the older kids, Christina and Christopher, were treated the same way, is an open question. Still, the comments from the other daughter (Cathy) offer a distinct contrast to Christina's view of their childhood.Įveryone seems to agree that Joan was a fine mother where the young twins were concerned even Mommie Dearest says that. but a few too many sentences that start off "Though Joan certainly disciplined her children firmly, the idea that she." suggest that where there's smoke, there's at least an ember or two. It sets out to make the case that she wasn't the gorgon of Mommie Dearest. Mike Gebert wrote:Interesting piece in/at Vanity Fair about Joan Crawford.
