Do You really think Joan murdered Alfred Steele, as Christina Claims?


She made this allegation in the 20th anniversary edition of Mommie Dearest and repeated it while interviewed by Larry King.

___Well, I always believed Joan had something to do with Marilyn Monroe's death. Suicide, smooicide? Joan never missed a chance to smear Marilyn in the press, and she was darned tired of that "little slut throwing her tits in everyone's face". So, when they had their little weekly enema party, Joan took the opportunity to slip Marilyn a micky suppository, then called Robert Kennedy to take her home.
___And then, there's that suspicious story of Joan and Man O War, just who could run the fastest? I'd really like to know...

I doubt Crawford killed Marilyn Monroe since Marylyn's enemas were adminstered by June Allyson, who studied to become a proctologist before going to Hollywood.

Crawford may have done in Man O'War, since it was well known in Hollywood that she was a mafia operative and she gave L B Mayer a heart attack when he awoke to find the head of his favorite racehorse "Thumper" in his bed. Crawford was repaying a debt to Frank Sinatra's mother, "Hatpin Dolly" who had helped Crawford out when she got knocked up as a struggling chorine on Broadway (see The Damned Don't Cry and Torch Song for a sanatized version of these events).
