A wire hanger story - No wire hangers ever!


The most famous wire hager story is a scene from the Frank Perry's movie Mommie Dearest, a 1981 biographical drama about Joan Crawford, starring Faye Dunaway. She plays the role of a rich lady from the high American society, thus detesting everything that is cheap, such as the wire hanger. In the most infamous scene of the film, Joan, with her face slathered in cold cream, stalks into Christina's bedroom in the middle of the night and discovers one of the child's dresses hanging on a wire hanger. She launches into a tirade, screaming at the girl, "I told you! No wire hangers, ever!" She yanks dresses from Christina's closet, throws them all over the girl's room and beats the screaming girl with the hanger.
