Well there goes here career.

She’s 78.

Her bet roles weren’t yet to come

[Fido969]

I hate wire hangers, too.

[miserare]

Sunset Boulevard redux.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I never did see that movie until a number of years ago on DVD. She was scary as hell! Her poor kids. ‘Mommy Dearest’ indeed! :(

[GnuThere]

Sounds senile.

[dfwgator]

In her day, though.

[Clutch Martin]

She often is listed on publicated worst personalities to work for/with. Very difficult. But she’s not the only one.

[Yaelle]

Dementia?

[Teacher317]

She also insisted that no one wear white to rehearsals because it “distracts me,” she said. When she was rehearsing on stage at the Huntington no one was allowed to move in the theater because that also distracted her.

Will these apply during performances as well? It should be fun telling the crowd to never move, or what not to wear. That's sure to go well in reflexively contrarian New York.

But people in the know say it was terrible character assassination of Joan based on a book by someone with an axe to grind. Robert Osborne of TCM was particularly critical of it based on his personal knowledge of Crawford. I don’t know enough to know, but I do know I don’t trust Hollywood.

Is “Bonnie” going through her second childhood?

Finally, a broad with a personality in Hollywood- well done, Miss Dunaway

[Vermont Lt]

I read about this the other day. She is displaying signs of dementia.

Clearly, no one has been paying attention to our elderly lately.

[jocon307]

Yes, she’s a psycho, but she’ll still totally right about the hangers!

[fella]

Sounds like age shaming and discrimination by a pack of feral snowflakes.

[Larry Lucido]

Racquel Welch is ready as a replacement. Just needs to be told to swing her arms more.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“I don’t know enough to know, but I do know I don’t trust Hollywood.”

Well, that’s a given, LOL!

I thought the movie was based upon the book Joan Crawford’s adopted daughter, Christina, wrote?

LOTS of back and forth here as to who to believe:
