Mommie Dearest/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Creator Backlash: Faye Dunaway regrets having played Joan Crawford in the movie version and doesn't like to talk about it, either. Christina Crawford also regretted it being made.
  • Genre Killer: While the book spawned a slew of nasty tell-all "memoirs" by children of famous celebrity parents that continues to this day, this film seemed have killed the idea of turning those books into major motion pictures, save for a television movie every now and then.
  • Parody Retcon: The movie started being advertised as a parody a few months after its release. Posters were changed to read, "Meet the biggest MOTHER of them all!"
