Remember this scene from Mommie Dearest?
Well, it turns out that, speculation about Joan Crawford's early years aside (whether as reminders of a destitute childhood or a back-alley abortion that took her fertility in 1931) there are actually legitimate reasons for her to get pissed off at the use of wire hangers: namely, that they can create dents in delicate fabrics, and if the hangers start to rust, that rust can rub off on the fabrics and never come off. Given that she mentions that the dress that hung on the hanger in question cost $300, this might be a real concern. And that's not even getting into how flimsy they are. Still doesn't justify using it as an excuse to berate Christina. Whatever servant is in charge of maintaining the Crawford family's wardrobe, maybe, but not Christina.
