Crawford goes on
the road to promote
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christina
Crawford isn’t finished yet with her
Mommie Dearest.
Twenty years after publishing
the tell-all book about being
abused by her adoptive mother, ac
tress Joan Crawford, Christina
Crawford is hitting the road to pro
mote a 400-page revision.
“I put in eyewitness accounts
that had come to me after the book
was published. It’s now a complete
chronicle of a very turbulent and
chaotic, and compelling, and in
some instances, loving relation
ship that covers almost 40 years,”
she said.
Crawford, 58, begins a series of
speaking engagements Wednesday
at the Royal Theater in Los Angeles.
“April Fool’s with Christina Craw
ford” will also tour Seattle, New
York and Chicago.
The evening will include a show
ing of the 1981 movie Mommie
Dearest, starring Faye Dunaway,
though Christina Crawford has criti
cized the film as “a piece of fiction.”
The new book, which Crawford
published by herself, is available
through the Internet.
Joan Crawford, who starred in
such movies as Mildred Pierce,
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
and Autumn Leaves, died in 1970.
