Book Soup welcomes Hollywood Historian A. Ashley Hoff on Friday, May 10, at 7 p.m., to discuss his new book, With Love, Mommie Dearest, while in conversation with Ann Magnuson. With Love, Mommie Dearest details the writing and selling of Christina Crawford’s memoir and the aftermath of its publication, as well as the filming of the motion picture, whose backstage drama almost surpassed what was viewed onscreen in the film.
