This is the outrageous and controversial story of legendary movie star Joan Crawford (Dunaway)and her struggle with the dual roles of fading actress and tormented mother.

The rage,the debilitating strain, and the terrifying descent into alcoholism and child abuse are graphically and unforgettably depicted in this film.
