On Mother's Day, the Oxfam shop in Blatchington Road, Hove, had a great window display: Two pictures of the great actrss of Forties' and Fifties' melodrama Joan Crawford.
Christina, one of Crawford's adopted daughters wrote the bestseller Mommie Dearest supposedly describing her as as "the mother from hell".
I went into the shop to congratulate the staff on the witty idea of displaying Crawford for Mother's Day.
Crawford was renowned fore her full, lip-glossed lips. One critic remarked: "Miss Crawford's lips look like two innner tubes that have been left out in a rainstorm."
