I'm sure this isn't the first time it was used, but it sure is a memorable quote!!Mommie Dearest (1981 movie about Joan Crawford)Joan Crawford: This ain't my first time at the rodeo.
It's possible but it should be noted that the book and film were done after she died. So she was not around to defend herself.

Heavy stuff but the child-abuse rap was part of the plot of Mommie Dearest. I do not know if this was directly stated in the film, but Joan Crawford was NOT Christina Crawford"s natural mother- she was adopted. Now, we are back to all the mythology- and some reality of cruel stepmothers.
Yes, Dawn Steel got the title for her autobiography "They Can Kill You, But They Can't Eat You" from a line in the movie "Mommie Dearest." The line is spoken by Faye Dunaway's character Joan Crawford.

In Christina Crawford's book Mommie Dearest, Christina wrote that she was aware of her mother Joan's 'lesbian proclivities'. There is also rumors about Joan either having an affair or being rebuffed by Marilyn Monroe. Joan had made comments to the press about Marilyn's oversexed appearance in the early 1950s which caused a controversy. The rumors may have been started after the press incident. Joan was married four times and had many affairs with men. There has been no corroborated evidence that Joan had engaged in lesbian affairs. Part of the rumor mill may have to do with the type of characters that Joan played on the screen and that over the years she had developed a gay fan base. She was also very good friends with William Haines, a former actor turned interior decorator who was openly gay. Joan was highly sexed so she could have experimented but her orientation seems to be based on facts heterosexual.
