    Mommie Dearest is a fantastic, entertaining, fun movie. I could watch it over and over. It obviously is a gay favorite. I love the sets in the movie, the fashion, the looks, Faye's performance, the friction between Joan and christina, the board room scene, of course the wire hanger scene. Its just a masterpiece of camp but also a brilliant performance by faye. She should not be embarrassed by this movie. Its probably her most famous and well liked movie. Faye, you better own it girl!

    It's been an accepted fact that Faye Dunaway was a very difficult lady to work with. However, she does NOT deserve THIS! If anything, I think her performance as Joan Crawford was TOO good in that it made Hollywood very uneasy. Miss Crawford had only been dead for three years at the time and still had a lot of friends in Hollywood who probably knew the truth anyway. I've always considered Dunaway to be a truly gifted actress. I saw her portray Maria Callas in "Master Class" in Chicago and she was outstanding. I think that "Mommie Dearest" was made too soon after Crawford's daughter's book came out and amazingly enough, made no reference to Miss Crawfords two younger daughters, who were on the scene during the time frame depicted in this film. Nevertheless, Miss Dunaway threw herself into this film like a dervish and received much derision for it. I think Miss Dunaway would have been better off had she never done the damn movie in the first place.

My mother, named after Joan Crawford, was just like her. A rage-aholic who screamed, broke things, beat me and my brother. As a thank you, I sent her a "Mommie Dearest" Mother's Day Card.

    There's an old saying: "Be nice to the people on the way up, because you are going to meet them on the way down." As long as a person is very successful and making everyone a lot of money, people will put up with their crap. It's when the person stumbles that the knives come out and all the people who were dissed get their turn. A lot of stars have made real bombs--remember 'Ishtar'- but their careers didn't end. There is a reason why.

    Bette Davis, ironically, was highly vocal about Faye's behavior off-camera "staying up all night drinking champagne while being chauffeured around!" and then keeping Davis and hundreds of extras waiting the next morning during the filming of "The Disappearance of Aimee [McPherson]" in 1976. Remind any of us of someone Faye played 5 years later? Bette must have thought she was reliving a nightmare...

She gave one of the greatest comedy performances in film history in "My Cousin Vinny," and is a highly respected actress. Why don't you go to a public place in your town, and do a survey? First ask people who Marisa Tomei is (everyone will know) and then ask them who Rutanya Alda is. "Rutanya Alda" sounds like a disease that NEEDS a cure.

    Let's recap. Daughter writes a tale-all book to exploit the name of her Oscar winning mother after she dies. Book sells millions and daughter sells the rights to the movie, which stars another Oscar winning actress and thirty five years after, the actress who played the maid writes another tale-all book to exploit the name of the lead. You add Bette Davis and Shirley Maclaine's daughters to the mix and it speaks poorly for actresses, Hollywood and women. Disappointing is that Rutanya brilliantly held her own against Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken in the masterpiece The Deer Hunter, and a book on the making of that film would have been a far more fascinating read.

    Sounds like a bit of resentment on the part of Ms. Alda that her career did not progress as she may have hoped. (Her one previous role of note was in the thriller "When A Stranger Calls"). If indeed Faye Dunaway thought that she would even be nominated for an Oscar as a result of this movie, she must have been suffering from a lapse in rationality. With that said, one can only surmise that Dunaway may have been difficult on the set, or that there was some bad karma going down between her and Alda as the movie was made. At any rate, you know that your career is pretty much over when one of three things happens: 1) You receive guest roles on Law and Order or any TV sitcoms, 2) You do voice overs for TV cartoons, and 3) You are asked to make appearances in cabarets and gay clubs.
