I've been thinking about Joan Crawford and her daughter, Christina's famous assertion that her "Mommy Dearest" was a freaking nut over wire hangers.
While common thought has stated that Joan had an aversion to (to put it lightly) the WIRE hanger due to being raised as a little girl in the cluttered room of a laundry, I was reminded after watching the 1977 international film spectacular, "The Other Side of Midnight", starring the incomparable Marie France Pisier, that many young ladies of Joan's same era would sometimes stick a wire coat hanger up into their own vaginas as to give themselves a self-abortion.
And Joan was known to be the party girl of her era when she a very young woman (prior to becoming a huge star).
She was rather infamous for her sexual appetites and freedom with her body.
Yet she never came out the other side of any of that pregnant.
Which were intriguing odds considering it was the 1920s when she was the world's dancing, partying, sexual flapper extraordinaire.
Even Miss Loretta Young fell preggers after an injection of the meat sauce by Mr. Clark Gable. She didn't abort and for years afterwards raised her own (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) "niece".
And stories have Joseph Kennedy rather forcing the then-luminous star Gloria Swanson into at least a couple of abortions. (HEY! Catholic values only go so far...when the bastard babies might be discovered by the wife back home and audiences around the world).
What is interesting, too, about Crawford is that she apparently was never able to have babies physically. Which while not unheard of is also often the result in many cases of botched abortions and all that.
They claim that is also what made it so impossible for Marilyn Monroe to carry a baby to term - the effects of numerous previous abortions.
So it causes me to wonder that if the wire hanger stories are true - and to the extent that Christiana described them - they did not stem from Crawford being haunted by some wire hanger abortion in her past and not a laundry flashback at all?
