Meine liebe Rabenmutter (1981)
Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere adoptiert Joan Crawford 1940 die drei Monate alte Christina, um die sich eine Kinderschwester kümmert. Joans Erfolgssucht kennt keine Grenzen. Sie terrorisiert Christina mit Reinlichkeitsfimmel und emotionalen Wechselbädern. Als ihre Karriere trotz Oscar-Gewinn 1946 und weiteren Nominierungen abnimmt, verfällt Crawford exzessivem Alkoholismus, den sie kaum zu übertünchen vermag. Ihre Wutausbrüche nehmen immer heftigere Formen an. Mutter und Tochter sind in inniger Hassliebe verbunden.
