Joan obtained her twin girls from the now notorius Georgia Tann, operator of Tennessee Children's Home Scoiety. Tann, who was in cahoots with Memphis domestic relations Judge Camille Kelly, specialized in taking attractive children from parents under the auspices of healping to lighten their burden's until they could get their private lives in order, would turn around and then sell the children to childless parents (and worse).
Crawford's twins didn't find out about the connection until years after "Mommie Dearest" kicked the bucket. And when the did they discovered that Crawford had placed a request for "twin girls" and Tann procured them for her.
BTW, the twins turned out to be dykes - something that would have offended Crawford (who liked strong women as long as they were straight) to no end.
Er, the twins turned out to be "dykes"? Cathy and Cindy's children might beg to differ...And both had loving memories of their mother (when one broke her arm at school, JC raced off the set and took her to the hospital, waiting in the corridor((in full screen makeup and costume!)) until her arm was set).
Our Mommie Dearest, who art in Hollywood Heaven, hallow be your talent.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, she had to whip the shit out of Christina because Joan loved her too much. Its true.
