Joan Crawford and her adopted daughter, Christina. Christina, as everyone knows, did not get along with Joan and after being left out of her will, she wrote a vicious "tell all" biography that forever tarnished Joan's image. She also inspired the children of other stars to write similar bios. From the bio: Christina, after being left out of her mother's will upon her death, went on to right the most famous "tell all" bio in history about Joan, called Mommie Dearest. Both the book and movie have gone on to achieve cult status for their portrayal of Joan as a psychotic, cruel woman who suffered from the worse case of OCD on record. Many in the industry rushed to defend Joan from these heartless allegations, to no avail. To this day, the image most of the current generation has of Joan, was set in cement with the publication of Mommie Dearest. Bette Davis, however, supported Christina. Shock! Later, Christina admitted that she had "exaggerated" much of her story, but by then, it was too latehttps://www.facebook.com/tragichollywood
