Joan Crawford - bottle. She proudly kept her Pally next to her Oscar for Mildred Pierce. After her death, a book titled Mommie Dearest, which was written by the eldest of her four adopted children, Christina Crawford, was published.

Joan Crawford died in New York City of a heart attack while apparently ill with cancer. In her will, she gave the two youngest of her adopted children, Cindy and Cathy,.
