Strap Yourselves In! 'The Mommie Dearest Diary Author', Rutanya Alda, Visits Denver For Debut Book Event!

Fasten your seatbelts, Denver; it's going to be a bumpy night! Actress Rutanya Alda, who played Carol Ann — Joan Crawford's long suffering handmaiden in the cult film Mommie Dearest — has published her memoir about the experience. 

Because the making of the film was so tumultuous, Rutanya Alda kept a journal. Now, almost thirty-five years later, that journal has become the foundation of Rutanya's fascinating account of making a destined-to-be cult film. And it turned out that, because of Faye Dunaway's over-the-top behavior and acting, she is a strong, if not altogether flattering, presence in Ms. Alda's memoir. 

Rutanya Alda reads excerpts from The Mommie Dearest Diary, meets the fans, and signs copies of her book at the Denver Public Library on Wednesday, October 7, from 7-9pm.
