This was an excellent informative documentary about the hardest working true star of Hollywood except that they allowed that ingrate Christina to be a part of it.
Joan Crawford had to struggle and adapt to make it to the top. I could write an anthology of what my personal opinion is but watch this documentary and discard the Mommie Dearest garbage and tabloid trash. Her first adopted child who possessed no talent or beauty like that of Joan was in my opinion a jealous, devious, trouble maker from the time she could figure out who her generous adoptive mother was and what she thought she, the daughter, was entitled too. If you look back at Joan Crawford's movies and the characters she played, you can see where a certain daughter got her inspiration for writing such a fictitious, scandalous piece of garbage. If you look at a certain adoptive daughters behavior that spilled over into manipulating her younger adoptive brother into committing embarrising and criminal acts for Joan, you can see why they were disinherated in the will. I enjoyed this documentary for the archival footage, the factual information and the truthfulness of a great lady who never sat back and rested on laurels from years gone by. However, every time that unappreciative adopted old brat of a daughter comes on the screen I cringe.
P. S., You don't leave clothes on wire hangers because they will mis shape the shoulders and are prone to rust rapidly particularly back in the 40's. I would love to see an edited version of this documentary minus one participant, Daughter Nastiest.
