About this listen

 In 1978, Christina Crawford shook Hollywood to its core with the publication of Mommie Dearest, a raw and unflinching memoir detailing the abuse she endured at the hands of her adoptive mother, screen legend Joan Crawford. The book became an instant sensation, igniting a firestorm of debate and inspiring a cult-favorite film that would etch the phrase “No wire hangers!” into pop culture history. Twenty years later, in 1998, Mark Gordon sat down with Crawford for a deeply personal conversation about the legacy of her memoir. In the interview, she reflected on the backlash of writing the book, the healing process, and how telling the truth became her most significant act of courage. Two decades after the release of Mommie Dearest, Christina Crawford stood by her story with clarity, conviction, and resilience. The conversation was not just about a Hollywood scandal but survival, truth-telling, and reclaiming one’s voice. In revisiting that 1998 interview, we’re reminded that behind the headlines was a woman determined to break the silence and spark change.
