Subscribe FreeBased on the novel by Christina Crawford, daughter of legendary actress Joan Crawford, Mommie Dearest tells the controversial story of the famous woman not seen by the public eye. Her struggles to maintain her superstar status, desire to boost her public image, and desperation for a child to fill the void in her life, prompt her to adopt two children (Scarwid and Xander Berkeley). Her desire to provide a child with a wonderful and advantaged life results in exposing them to her personal frustrations, leading to graphically depicted abuse. (Suzanne Hodges)
