Mommy Dearest ...
Introduced a new generation to the style, grace and allure of Joan Crawford ... the legendary actress who taught generations of white women (and drag queens) how to be white women.
The 1981 campish biopic based on the book by her adopted daugher Christina Crawford is a cult favortite of mine. Faye Dunaway peed for her portrayal of the screen goddess, and will forever be inseparable from the star of the academy awarding winning film, and another favorite of mine, Mildred Pierce.
Here's a short list of some of her films ...
each perfect for curling up in bed on a rainy Sunday (or a sunny one) ... just you and your boo.

man i love mildred pierce. I am not a big joan fan but that movie was off da hook.
I think their rivalry was the reason '..Baby Jane' was such a good flick. They were both trying to outdo each other.
I never heard the Marilyn rumor. Do tell!!!!
