[ PAST EVENT ] Mommie Dearest with Donatella Nobody

Tickets $15. “No wire hangers!” celebrate Mother’s Day with a screening of this often unhinged and highly quotable camp classic. Hosted by Portland’s fabulous Donatella Nobody, get ready to clutch your pearls and pay homage to the ultimate portrayal of maternal complexity. Outrageous and controversial, this is the story of legendary movie star Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) as she struggles for her career and battles the inner demons of her private life. This torment was manifested in her relationships with her adopted children, Christina (Diana Scarwid) and Christopher (Xander Berkeley). The public Crawford was a strong-willed, glamorous object of admiration, but Mommie Dearest reveals the private Crawford, the woman desperate to be a mother, adopting her children when she was single and trying to survive in a devastating industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly. The rage, the debilitating strain, and the terrifying descent into alcoholism and child abuse are graphically—and unforgettably—depicted in this film, based upon Christina Crawford’s best-selling book.
