Sept 18 1981 

MOMMIE DEAREST opens. Dir. Frank Perry. Written by Robert Gretchell, Tracy Hotchne. Frank Yablans and Frank Perry. Deliciously trashy adaptation of Christina Crawford's vitriolic memoir detailing her abusive childhood as adopted daughter of 40s film star mom Joan Crawford finds its hysterical high camp rhythm in Faye Dunaway's unbridled, scenery chewing, Razzie winning performance. With Diana Scarwid, Rutanya Alda and Steve Forest.
