I didn't know about the hangers episode. Have you seen that movie with Faye Dunaway playing Joan? Is it too painful to watch?
ReplyDeleteI think Mommie Dearest would be either too painful to watch or hilarious, depending on how you approach it. As a fan of enjoyably bad, over-the-top movies, I loved it. I wasn't fond of the wire hangers scene though. I can't laugh at a child being treated so poorly, even if it is just about the weirdest, campiest scene I've ever seen.
