That is right, darlings, "Mildred Pierce," the 1945 film that won Joan Crawford her Oscar, and turned out to be one of the best bitchfest mother-daughter films of all time.
Ann Blyth created much of that with her indelible portrayal of Veda Pierce. Aspiring bitches just LOVE Veda. After all, she was just a poor, misunderstood who had goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girls, this is too much!!!!!!!!!! With Eve Arden's one-liners, and Veda's nightclub scene--which I would like to do--there is something to offer for gays everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And straight people here can learn a lot about subtext,
What an anniversary year this is turning out to be.
Happy 80th Anniversary, "Mildred Pierce," and many more.
As Veda says, "Don't worry about me, Mother; I'll get by."
You better believe it, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
