Another mother whom I deplore is Constance Ford's Helen Jorgensen from "A Summer Place," who called in a doctor to assess her daughter after she spent a night out with a boy. I can still hear Sandra Dee as Molly yelling at her mother that she has been a good girl. But even that cannot compare to the horrible Mrs. Iselin. Angela Lansbury nailed that horrible, cold woman. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking of her!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-57858240475514226512010-01-25T10:07:02.787-05:002010-01-25T10:07:02.787-05:00Eve, I voted for: Violet Venable(Katharine Hepburn...Eve, I voted for: Violet Venable(Katharine Hepburn), in Suddenly Last Summer.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-79619665863717317402010-01-25T02:13:02.714-05:002010-01-25T02:13:02.714-05:00Eve,,I agree with Rick.

She is an all-around nasty human being, but what she does to her son earns her my vote for worst all-time cinema mom!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
