Mommie Dearest

    This book Mommie Dearest explains  the story of a famous hollywood actress  Joan Crawford  and explains how during the 1960s Joan's career in acting has disintegrated and fell apart due to her age. During this time period woman were still stereotyped especially if you wer an actress during this time if you were a woman and over fifty which she was your career was practically over. And at this time period she adopted a child and named her Christina Crawford the first out of four children Joan would adopt. Most speculated that she adopted Christina for  publicity purposes so her name would be known to the world again as this generous woman who cares so much for foster children that she would adopt one herself. And this was very uncommon at the time for a divorced lady above fifty to be a single mother. But one expected Joan to treat her daughter the way she treated her was upsurd. Joan released her anger on her daughter Joan's life was falling apart no offers for movies nor television were coming in and it was harder for her to keep her fame and her family together but suddenly fall apart.
    My personal opinion on this book is that I really enjoyed it I enjoyed how Christina didn't decided to hold in her anger and secrets. She revealed the truth of hollywoods most famous Hollywood actress of the twentieth century. She didn't keep quiet and that's why I really admire her as most people who were abused. The decided to keep in all the anger all the rage they have and never let it out Christina talked to herself and thought if she should release the book she was afraid that no one will believe her and believe that she wrote this memoir for attention purposes.
