Podcast appearances and mentions of Christina Crawford

Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) was a Movie Star, gracing the silver screen for decades but by her 30's her luster began to fade. In order to fill a void and maybe drum up a little publicity, she tries to adopt. When her application is rejected, she turns to lawyer and lover, Greg Savitt (Steve Forrest) who manages to get her a perfect daughter. Throughout her life, Christina (Mara Hobel/Diana Scarwid) is afforded the very best in life but under the facade of perfection, a monster lurks. Based on the best selling tell-all by Christina Crawford and wildly exaggerated for the screen by Faye Dunaway, it's Mommie Dearest - this week on Doom Generation.

In 1978, Christina Crawford published Mommie Dearest, a groundbreaking memoir that exposed the dark side of her life with legendary actress Joan Crawford. The book became an instant bestseller, sparking controversy, debate, and even a cult-classic film adaptation. Back in 1998, I had the privilege of sitting down with Christina Crawford to discuss the impact of her book two decades later. Stay tuned as we revisit that conversation—a candid, revealing look at one of Hollywood's most infamous stories.

The Zodiac Killer's reign of terror might be one of America's greatest mysteries, but beneath the chilling letters and unsolved murders lies a web of speculation, contradictions, and the haunting possibility that the truth is far more elusive than we imagine.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: A man starts to dig a swimming pool in his backyard – and unearths numerous human corpses.

This week Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of 99 Cent Rental with the mother of all cult movies. Get it? It's a drag queen's dream come true. In 1977, reeling from being written out of her mother's will for reasons well-known to her, Christina Crawford, daughter of Hollywood legend, Joan Crawford published a vicious hit piece of a memoir about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother and Hollywood couldn't wait to snatch up the option and transform it in a motion picture. Paramount came calling and took a book full of dubious claims and turned it into a movie full of even more dubious claims and a tone that shifts wildly from massively understated to flying dangerously off the handle. If a crazy story wasn't enough, the troubled production, made even more difficult by Faye Dunaway's horrible diva behavior on set and the meddling of celebrity husbands pushed the studio and producer Frank Yablans to the brink.

Dennis is joined in person by author A. Ashley Hoff to discuss his new book With Love, Mommie Dearest, his follow-up to Match Game 101, which he discussed on the podcast a few years back. Ashley talks about why he wanted to write this book, what surprised him while he was conducting interviews and doing research and why be believes that Faye Dunaway, who plays screen legend Joan Crawford in the film, is a "sorceress commanding the elements." He also recalls talking with Christina Crawford, who wrote the tell-all the movie is based on, at a screening of the film in Chicago years ago and learned that while she doesn't particularly like the film, she's proud that it shined a spotlight on the then-taboo topic of child abuse. Ashley also talks about watching the new documentary Faye on Max and finding that it pretty much tracks with the research he conducted for the book, even though he was never able to interview Dunaway herself. At one point, Dennis and Ashley are joined by author and superfan Abdi Nazemian who has been obsessed with the movie since he was 10 years old and has a juicy Faye story of his own to share. Other topics include: Joan Crawford's up-from-nothing resilience and determination, why the bullying aspect of the film might resonate with queer people, that time Dennis interviewed Faye Dunaway for Us Magazine and was kept waiting for four hours, the fact that Mommie Dearest was a financial success, how no one in Hollywood sets out to make a flop and what it is exactly that makes something campy.

Critics hated the film Mommie Dearest, the film adaptation of Christina Crawford's tell all book chronicling the physical and mental abuse she suffered as the adopted daughter of Hollywood Golden Age legend Joan Crawford.But thanks to the success of Rocky Horror Picture Show and the films of John Waters, the film studios quickly pivoted the marketing of the melodramatic movie into a dark comedy, showcasing it as a midnight feature film inviting drag queens to dress up and re-enact fights between momma Joan and her adopted daughter Christina.Today we're chatting with pop culture writer A.

Scott Gairdner (Podcast: The Ride) returns to discuss the biographical drama MOMMIE DEAREST starring Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid and Mara Hobel. Frank Perry directed this adaptation of Christina Crawford's eponymous memoir which portrays Crawford's adoptive mother, Hollywood actress Joan Crawford, as unstable and abusive. Featuring a legendary lead performance by Dunaway as Joan Crawford, MOMMIE DEAREST opened in 1981 to such scathing reviews, Paramount Pictures quickly altered the film's ad campaign to market the film as high camp. In the following years, the film gained a cult following as an unintentional comedy and queer classic, but how will it fare when viewed through MNAM's modern parenting perspective? You won't want to miss this, the Mother of all MOMMIE DEAREST discussions, with diversions into The Room, John Waters, Showgirls, The Joker, vaping, Chris Rock, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and much much more!

This week we found Mommie Dearest languishing on the shelves at the thrift shop. An iconic book both of us were aware of but had never read! We were appalled and enthralled by Christina Crawford's account of life with her mother, Joan, one of the defining stars of Hollywood's Golden Era.Be warned: This podcast episode includes child abuse. Lots of it and it's really horrible. There are also a couple of reactionary F bombs so perhaps not a great episode to listen to with your kids. Unless you want them to understand how lucky they are to have you as a parent (in comparison to Joan Crawford anyway)This is a brand new podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is particularly good as it means we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.THANK YOU FOR LISTENINGThrift Shop Biography

When he was a kid growing up in Beverly Hills, writer/director Christopher Landon (DISTURBIA, FREAKY, HAPPY DEATH DAY) watched MOMMIE DEAREST with his older sister, on repeat. The 1981 film is now a camp classic, and Faye Dunaway's Joan Crawford is, to put it mildly, over-the-top.

For this Mother's Day special episode Lo and KK are doing a deep dive into the abusive childhood of Christina Crawford growing up with famous actress Joan Crawford. We discuss the movie Mommie Dearest, the two women's life and we even dive into the famous Flowers in the Attic story as well.

This episode features discussions about Ben Caplan's I Don't Want To Talk About It and Christina Crawford and David Nehls' Mommie Dearest.  I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT (by Ben Caplan) - I Don't Want to Talk About It takes a deep dive into the complex world of mental health as told by a troupe of mercurial performers to an unnamed protagonist. Through fourth-wall breaking sketch and song, the protagonist explores the subjects and stigmas of this taboo topic alongside the audience. But as the show goes on, the fourth wall begins to close, and the narrator realizes that the troupe isn't here for the audience: they're here for him. Through humor, empathy, and brutal honesty, this rock musical pushes the boundaries of how society discusses mental health. MOMMIE DEAREST (by Christina Crawford & David Nehls) - Based on the explosive novel and film, this coming-of-age story is told through the point of view of brother-sister pair Christina and Christopher Crawford. The musical adaptation follows them through three decades of American culture as they grow up, struggle with adversity and try to remain family even as they are forced down different paths.  Featuring performances from Justin Albinder, Charlie Levy, Tina Scariano and Brynn Williams Special thanks to Alex Pearlman/Bardo Arts for use of Mommie Dearest's audio tracks Connect with Ben Caplan: Instagram: @MrBenCaplan Twitter: @TheBenCaplan Connect with New York Theatre Barn: Support us: nytheatrebarn.org/give Twitter: @nytheatrebarn Instagram: @newyorktheatrebarn  Facebook.com/nytheatrebarn nytheatrebarn.org Joe's personal Instagram: @bisforbarros Jen's personal Instagram: @jensandler Learn more about your ad choices.

Christina Crawford (born June 11, 1939) is an American author and actress, best known for her 1978 memoir, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mommie_Dearest (Mommie Dearest), her account of growing up with her adoptive mother, film star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Crawford (Joan Crawford). Christina Crawford was born in Los Angeles, California in 1939, to an unmarried teen. According to her personal interview with Larry King, her father was married to another woman and supposedly in the Navy; her mother was unmarried. Crawford was adopted from a baby broker in Nevada because Joan was formally denied an adoption by social services for being an unfit candidate in California in 1940 (due at least in part to her status as a divorcee). Crawford was one of five children adopted by Joan. Her siblings were Christopher (1942–2006), adopted in 1943, and twin girls — Catherine (Cathy, 1947–2020) and Cynthia (Cindy, 1947–2007) — adopted in 1947. Another boy, also named Christopher, was adopted in 1941 but was reclaimed by his birth mother. Crawford has stated that her childhood was affected by her adoptive mother's alcoholism. At 10, Crawford was sent to Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, California, which many other celebrity children attended. However, her mother sent her from Chadwick to graduate from Flintridge Sacred Hearthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flintridge_Sacred_Heart_Academy ( )Academy in La Cañada (now the city of La Cañada Flintridge), California, and curtailed Crawford's outside contact until her graduation. After graduating from Flintridge, she moved from California to Pittsburgh to attend Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and then to New York City, where she studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in Manhattan. After seven years, she gained a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA. After 14 years as an actress, Crawford returned to college, graduating magna cum laude from UCLA and receiving her master's degree from the Annenberg School of Communication at USC. Then she worked in corporate communications at the Los Angeles headquarters of Getty Oil Company.

The Hype was never meant to be a biography of a movie star. But when Christina Crawford's memoir of a childhood spent battling her controlling mother, Joan Crawford, was published as Mommie Dearest in 1978, the reaction was decidedly not that. From having to defend her account of her childhood to friends of her adopted mother (not to mention interviewers and fans) to the stroke that people whispered was actually a nervous breakdown precipitated by the disastrous film adaptation, this is the story how the legend of Joan Crawford almost ruined Christina's life... a second time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/american-scandals/support

"I'm just going to have a lie down, take over Mr. Lucas...”. Hello to all our new #Unanimous listeners! Which TV station did you first watch Are You Being Served? Do you live in #Georgia? Don’t forget to vote for the Democrats for US #Senate! Christina Crawford’s autobiography (yes, THAT Christina…). A familiar looking couple exit the Grace Bros lift (Lady #Weeble-Able-Smith and the “pure velour” gay customer (who Mr. Humphries couldn’t afford). Roger’s special custom fitted coat with hodge lodge of top notch swatches. Mr. Tebbs might be possessed by the spirit of Mr. Grainger. The Flexibra’s Central Display Unit and the exhibitionist in the crowd. Young Mr. Grace’s nurse finally speaks! And we see his beeping heart monitor for the first time. The AYBS cast had enough time between filming seasons to star in other popular(?) TV programs in the UK (and #Australia). Today, the network tends to control an actor’s options much more than back in the 70’s. “Come Back Mrs. Noah” with Mollie Sugden is insane and cute and must be seen. (Mrs. Slocombe in SPACE). Plus, Sugden starred in #Corrie too. The “lost” pilot podcast episode of “That Does Suit Madame”. Will it see the light of day? Microwaves in 1978: a history of a luxury item. Was “Derry and Toms” Cockney rhyming slang for rude bits? Suggestions for Grace Brothers’ new “Social Club” in the basement. Where does the term “carsey” come from? Mr. Rumbold would have been a #Thatcher supporter. The staff assemble in the basement to hang wallpaper (but save that bit for above the door). Grace Brothers women are doing it for themselves. Mr. Lucas finds a “Health and Efficiency” magazine in 1938 which was a “bodybuilding” magazine where men were in the nude. (Gasp). Mr. Harmond’s expert technique of balancing the board on his head. Professor Jeff noticed Tebbs’ use of the Cockney rhyming slang of “cocoa”. The ’78 audience loves the physical comedy in this episode. Maybe it was a push for the slightly older crowd. Super fun (or implausible) paste fight with the whole staff! A brief history of “The Facts of Life” reminds Jeff of the final wallpaper paste fight. Brandon explains the phrase “jump the shark”. When does AYBS jump the shark (if ever)?

The cultural and theatrical life of the Hoosier capital suffered two huge losses during the third week of September 2020. Within the space of three days, Indianapolis learned of the death of two of its most creative, boundary-pushing directors: Ron Spencer, founder and artistic director of Theatre on the Square (TOTS), and Bryan Fonseca, who co-founded the Phoenix Theatre. We hope to cover Fonseca and his work in theatre on a future show, but for now we turn our attention to the life of Ron Spencer, who grew up in McCordsville but attended high school in Indianapolis.  Ron Spencer's long life on the stage began as a child and extended all the way into his final years in Puerto Vallarta, where he moved after retiring from Theatre on the Square in 2014. And while he was well known as a director of shows at TOTS, he also made his mark as an actor, singer, and playwright.  Among Ron's writing credits: Dearest, a Mommy Musical, based on the tell-all book written by Christina Crawford about her tumultuous relationship with mother, actress Joan Crawford.  The camp, over-the-top production of Dearest - directed by Ron for the Indianapolis Fringe Festival and a follow-up TOTS production - was emblematic of his love for Hollywood stars of a certain age and their camp-classic films.  Under his leadership, TOTS held a "film noir" series which re-imagined revered (if sometimes ironically) cinematic gems like Mildred Pierce (1945) and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) as tongue-in-cheek stage plays, with Ron reenacting the roles originated by Bette Davis and other iconic female stars of the era. It would be a mistake, however, to consider only the amusing and camp aspects of Ron's theatrical work. As the artistic director of Theatre on the Square, he spearheaded the production of such important plays as Corpus Christi by Terrence McNally, which raised questions about spirituality and sexuality. And it was no accident that many TOTS shows featured the perspective of members of marginalized communities. As a gay man who came of age in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Ron knew what it meant to be treated as an outsider and understood the power of theatre to offer hope and change hearts.  In a memorable TOTS production of a musical featuring the work of composer George Winters, Ron sang the song "It Gets Better," a plea to LGBT youth being bullied by peers to look beyond the torment and see the rich, rewarding life that awaits them as adults. The discussion of Ron Spencer's life will be led by Hoosier History Live associate producer Mick Armbruster, filling in for our regular host, Nelson Price. Mick will be joined by phone by two guests who knew and worked with Ron Spencer over the course of many years: Jeannie Logan, who worked with Ron on numerous musicals at Theatre on the Square and other local venues. For decades, Jeannie has performed as a vocalist all over the country and parts of the world. She currently works as a private vocal coach and also teaches at the Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy in Fishers. And Bill Book, a professional actor who has been performing in the Indianapolis area since the early 1980s. He has been directed by, performed on stage with and been close friends with Ron Spencer for over 33 years. Mick, Jeannie and Michael will discuss Ron's early work in theatre, as well as his founding of Theatre on the Square in 1988 at its original location in Fountain Square. TOTS moved to Mass Avenue in 1993 to be part of the burgeoning arts district there. They'll explore the impact TOTS had on the cultural life of Indianapolis, as well as consider the factors that led to its demise in 2018.  Mick plans to open the WICR phone lines early in hope that some of Ron's many friends and theatrical associates will call in at (317) 788-3314 with their stories and memories.

This week on Total Movie Recall, we watched the Sophie's Choice of talking pig movies — Babe: Pig in the City.
