You have a much more extensive repertoire of films long gone Mr. Dirty than I, so no, I haven't seen any of these films you have mentioned recently, except for Eve and Baby Jane and I love both. I have only seen Crawford in Straight Jacket and Baby Jane. So your statement that claims Crawford couldn't do sincerity or warm, pretty much defines ole' Mommie Dearest in a nutshell.

Do you know if Davis made her comment about Dunaway after or before MD?

This thread has amused me, because you started it as a thread predominantly for straight men and its ended up as a discussion about Davis and Crawford. It couldn't get any gayer.

Davis would have made that comment around 1987, I believe.

Thank you for pointing that out, Toasted Cheese! Ha ha ha!!!! That's awesome! I love it!

Davis passed away soon after. I wonder if Dunaway playing Crawford also gave rise to her comment. Perhaps she thought it wasn't a portrayal that did Crawford justice, or that it was just a bad hammy performance, and Dunaway did it for notoriety herself. Dunaway reminds me of JC in Straight Jacket in MD.
