Mommie Dearest 40th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition

Paramount Home Media Distribution has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Frank Perry's Mommie Dearest (1981), starring Faye Dunaway, Steve Forrest, Diana Scarwid, Mara Hobel, and Howard Da Silva. The release, which will be part of the studio's Paramount Presents series, will be available for purchase on June 1.

Studio description: Based on Christina Crawford's controversial best-selling tell-all novel, MOMMMIE DEAREST features a powerhouse performance by Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford, struggling for her career while battling the inner demons of her private life. While the public Crawford was a strong-willed, glamorous object of admiration, behind the scenes is a private Crawford—the woman desperate to be a single mother and trying to survive in a devastating industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly.
