After Dark Preview: Faye Goes to Camp in 'Mommie Dearest' and 'Supergirl'
Listen now
Description
This After Dark preview takes a drastic turn from the previous May Dunaway episode, featuring two riotous performances that Faye delivers with non-stop camp. First, it's one of her most iconic roles as the Oscar-winning Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Those pesky wire hangers are only the tip of the iceberg of memorable moments from a movie very loosely adapted from her daughter Christina's autobiography. Then, Faye becomes the Wicked Witch of the Carnival as Madame Selena in Supergirl (12:50). Find out what Dolly Parton, Chicago, and a storm dragon have in common as Sophia and Nick "talk real turkey" about this sci-fi spectacle.
