  Excerpt from Christina Crawford’s “ Survivor ” (1988): “ In the dead of that winter, David and I had to return to New York for my deposition in the will contest and to meet with my editor regarding the third and last section of the manuscript.   The deposition was one of the most grueling and nerve-wracking experiences I’d ever had.  We started at eight-thirty in the morning and finished about four in the afternoon with an hour for lunch. I dreaded going back for day two. I felt that everything possible was being done to humiliate me and force such discomfort that I would consider dropping the lawsuit. I knew I was telling the truth… ”   Excerpt from Christina’s February 9 th , 1978 court-ordered, under-oath, deposition: Attorney: “ Did you ever have a fight with your mother, the result of which she sent you back to Chadwick School for the period of the summer? ” Christina Crawford: “ I can only say that it’s possible. I don’t remember the absolute spe...

However, this is an enormously FLAWED logic.       Unless you lived in the SAME household, and was raised by the SAME mother, Joan Crawford, your personal stories are NOT relevant.
