THIS AIN'T HER FIRST RODEO! MOMMIE DEAREST (1981) REACTION 

Im so glad you reacted to this! I highly recommend Be Kind Rewind videos on Joan Crawford, there are a few that channel does that do an amazing job at highlighting the story behind this movie and also the story behind the legend that goes beyond this movie. This movie ended up being a accidental cult classic bc the director and producers didn't scale back the over-acting and didn't give any context to why Joan was the way she was.

She supposedly hated wire hangers because they reminded her of extreme poverty she grew up in the only job her single mom could get was doing the neighbors laundry

Hollywood really made light of Christina walking in on Joan and the maid drunk and laughing. The truth is: Christina “walked in” on Joan and the maid…forget the axe and wire hangers; they were scissor-sisters🤣🤣🤣

The soap opera was Secret Storm. Fun fact: the soap set was actually the set of Happy Days.

This film is unintentionally iconic. I first watched it after checking out a VHS from the library. But re-watching it now as a drag race fan is a pretty unique experience! ❤️

I know every line from this movie.. Loved your reaction

So much fun! Thank you. Barbara PLEASE!

Thank you for your reaction.i have been a fan of the movie mommie dearest for almost 24 years.i am glad it was made.it is a powerful look at family violence and dysfunction.

Ik No One Is Killed During This Movie But To Me This Film Will Forever Be Horror Thriller Especially That Wire Hanger Scene Joan Was Looking Like Pennywise's Lady Friend

I'm so excited to see you watching this movie! It's such a classic! ❣️❣️

No matter how many times I see this i just love it.

Mommie Dearest was always a horror movie!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Common girl as she’s cutting the rose bush 😂😂😂🥰💖🌸 your lighthearted commentary really uplifted that scene loool

I heard that it's because wire hangers cause dents on clothes, not to mention rust and damage clothes, so that's probably why they aren't ideal for the "expensive" dresses. Though others claim that its due to childhood trauma of Joan's related to poverty and laundromats

This react was hilarious. Ur funny, had me laughing too

‘Barbara, please! Please, Barbara!’ That's so iconic. You're not a gay man if you haven’t said that line a million times. 😂😅

I enjoyed that reaction ! I can never say no to this film. This film is as camp as Liza Minelli singing life is a cabaret while ridding a fully decorated Christmas tree but it is giving me LIFE every time !! I am sorry but Faye Dunaway should just embrace her performance. She HATES talking about it and she actually asks for interviewers not to even mention the film. It is sad she takes herself too seriously, she really should have a sense of humor about it and embrace the LGBT following she has with that film. However, it is super ironic but Bette Davis in an interview once called Faye Dunaway "The worst person I ever had to worked with" so you just know that if Bette Davis calls the actress who played the one person she had the biggest holywood feud in history with in a movie the worst actress she ever worked with that it means Faye Dunaway must be next level difficult haha

Omg, I love your reaction. You're so down to earth

Not Sophia from Golden Girls 🤣

They definitely had a strained relationship but even Christina says the movie was a gross exaggeration.

I think the wire hanger thing was a response to her childhood trauma, well her mother worked in laundry service. It triggered her, probably.

Be absolutely sure to watch Carol Burnett movie spoof entitled: "Mildred Fierce". You may wet yourself laughing!!! 😅

I read the book, its very very similar to the movie. Though, there is tons of explanations in the book like for the wire hangers and the night raids. And there is stuff in the book that wasnt in the movie, in regards to when Christina went to the private school. I highly recommend the book.

I loooooove thiiiiis ❤ great video

very triggering.......although my mother was obviously not a famous hollywood actress, but the behaviour reminds me of mommie dearest

It’s not my first time at the… (at the where?) YC Rhino’s channel!

Yes, Miss Crawford did fill in for Christina during the latter's illness.

I remember first seeing this film as a kid, like 4-5 range, and it's never left me. My first camp classic lol

That house. Joan Crawford did that. She started out as a dancer. For that I respect. The rest of it no Mommie dearest.

Look the mothering was dark from beginning to end you went reeeal light on her parenting She wasn’t competitive in the pool she was jealous She wasn’t being petty by trashing her dolls, she was being cruel

I love this movie so much!! Such a classic!!! Will you be reacting to drag race Mexico? 😊

Yeah you should react to Mildred P ..that would be awesome 👍

Some of the timeline stuff in this movie is messy. The great part she wanted but wasn't offered MIGHT have been "A Woman's Face" but Christina would've only been a toddler, I think. I also don't think the hair cutting scene was even in the book - might've been purely invented for the film. The other big one that's always bugged me is the night she wins the Oscar for Mildred Pierce because the photo of her receiving the award in bed is quite famous and her hair is very different because she was filming Humoresque at the time. Great reaction video btw!

10 years??? 😅 It's usually an actual event when Mommie Dearest comes on.

TINA BRING ME THE AXE!!!!!!

Faye Dunaway at her best! She made both herself and Joan Crawford infamous!

In the interview with Christina crawford she revealed the reason why Joan crawford was bot approved for adoption with the agency is they noticed her temperament she didn't talk to any of her relatives and of course she was single too yes but she also had Bo relationships with her relatives . But they were right after all with that hunch...she always used objects to hit her and she said she did make a mistake and use 2 wire coat hangers ..that was cleanser that spilled all over the bathroom floor. I would not keep a baby only to give them up and subject a poor orphan to this . It's so sad and inexcusable what a mother she was to these poor children and they are scarred for life the movie doesn't really even begin to describe the abusive childhood these children had to endure

The movie and book, if somewhat sketchy and in some cases, non factual, gave a inside look of a very famous Hollywood star.

While this movie is considered a classic, it's also horribly portrayed. According to the real Christina, they did not represent Joan correctly at all like the movie made her out to be this overly exaggerated psychotic supervillain. Not to say Joan was a perfect mother cause otherwise there wouldn't be a book but the movie was still inaccurate to how it really was and I feel bad for Christina for what they turned her book into.

I saw. "Mommy Dearest " in its initial release, FAYE DUNAWAY wonderful but CHRISTINA not totally truthful which time as shown. When you look at "Mildred Pierce " be sure to see "Possessed " 1946 she also did a different "Possessed " about 1934.

Im on Joan's side

Christina Crawford DID NOT LIKE this movie--'cuz it focused more on Joan than--HER--Christina's story--I was like F*** you Christina--sympathy for Christina was lost over time--sad to think ..in retropect..

I'm divided on if Joan Crawford was actually like this. Abusive...

Heyy YC - Loved yur reaction...I saw this when it came out - I was 21..... excellent movie.....so CAMP ..CLASSIC

A masterclass in overacting, and the best part, it was meant to be serious 😁
