Personally, I think that while Joan was no bed of roses (what self-made woman was at the time ) , that book was hyperpole and sour grapes. I mean if Joan was that histrionic, where were the rest of the witnesses, like that reporter in the "I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR FANS" scene. Also, the brother refused to have anything to do with it. So, in my book, Tina wanted to make money by sullying her mother's name.
Bette Davis is looking down at you and shaking her head. (Or is she looking up & shaking her head? )
