Diana Scarwid in Mommie Dearest

[quote] looked 35

Mommie never let me near her bucket of ice cubes she used to freeze her pores.

You're 14, DAMMIT!

She was so wooden in this role. I did like her in What Lies Beneath...

Based on Scarwid’s portrayal, I have always pictured Christina as having a raging lude addiction.,

She is the weakest part of the film.

" but looked 35. "

"That's a lie!"

I understood why Joan beat THAT Christina.

OP- She does look way older than 16 in the movie but FAR MORE absurd is James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause. He's supposed to be about 16 years old and in real life he was 24 year old but he look at least 35 years old in that movie.

OK, who's going to bring up Stockard?

That wig @ OP is totally unfortunate.

Her southern accent was distracting.

R9- In real life Stockard Channing was actually in high school in 1959.

Scarwid was fresh off a surprise Oscar nomination for Inside Moves.

When she says, "There's a liquor store on the right" I laugh because of her dead pan monotone delivery and deep ass voice.

I am NOT one of her FANS!

That was one haggard looking woman. Even uglier than the real Christina.

Gosh, I remember being IMPRESSED with her performance....perhaps I'm alone in this. But could YOU withstand the onslaught of Faye Dunaway? And SURVIVE????

No, you're not alone, r17.

Good actress. Old lady face.

She's living happily on Tybee Island, Ga. these days.
