Celebrate Mother’s Day with one of cinema’s most memorable mothers, among other things. Hollywood legend Joan Crawford (one of Faye Dunaway’s most controversial performances) adopts two children—but behind the glamorous façade lies a reign of icy cruelty. Based on the explosive memoir written by Crawford’s own daughter, Mommie Dearest is high-camp melodrama turned cult classic. No wire hangers—ever!
