Faye Dunaway starred in the 1981 biopic of screen queen Joan Crawford, Mommie Dearest, which depicted the abusive and traumatic upbringing of the adopted Christina Crawford at the hands of her mother. The film is based on Christina's 1978 memoir and expose of the same name.

This is one of the outfits the actress wore in the movie to portray the Hollywood screen legend. The dress was designed by Irene Sharaff and was photographed on display at the Planet Hollywood Cafe in Las Vegas on April 7, 2011.

I would love to find out who designed the jewelry worn by Faye D. in Mommy Dearest. I can't find a single word in print about it! In my view those Art-Deco pieces were the real stars. They set off the period costumes beautifully. My guess, Harry Winston.
