Unveiling Joan Crawford’s Twin Daughters: From Birth to Defense Against Allegations

Cathy and Cynthia “Cindy” Crawford were twin daughters of the renowned Hollywood actress Joan Crawford Their story is not often told — and has been purposely ignored.

First off, I had tried to create a Wikipedia page for the twins as I noticed the lack of information about them. This was denied and removed. I used my research and delved into even more. I decided to create this video to showcase their compelling journey, spanning from their earliest days to adulthood. Witness how they bravely defended their beloved mother against the damaging allegations presented by Christina Crawford in her controversial book, “Mommie Dearest.” Their story is not often told, and all points made in this video come from opinions, accounts, or allegations, or reflections from those stated.

Follow the twins’ captivating narrative as they challenge Christina’s claims, firmly asserting that she was not truthful in her portrayal. In 1999, their determination led them to take legal action against Christina, resulting in a resounding victory as the court found her claims to be false. Through their unwavering commitment, Cathy and Cindy shed light on the true essence of their mother, emphasizing her warmth and affection.

  1. Oh, I’m awash with tears! I love Joan so much, and these dear twins! They both tried so hard to defend their mother. Very well done and a much needed positive to Joan’s legacy of love. Thank you! 👏🏻💖💖💖

  2. I had the pleasure of meeting Cathy's son Casey Lalonde at a screening at the Film Forum in New York that he was hosting of Joan's collection of home movies which extended from before the twins were born through later years. He fondly recalled visiting his Grandmother in her Imperial House apartment on the Upper East Side. He is dedicated to presenting an accurate account of Joan.

  3. This is not a debate! This is about the lives of Cathy and Cindy.

    This video’s purpose is to educate people on CATHY and CINDY’s side of the story and their amazing lives. I have received many comments saying they didn’t know JC had twins. They are people too.

  4. I think it's sad that whenever Joan Crawfords name is mentioned, it's " Mommy Dearest" That is her legacy after all her hard work. I never believed the story of Christina Crawford.

  5. I enjoyed this very much learning more about Cathy and Cindy. I knew Cathy a little in the late 1980s and we had a nice correspondence . I still have several Christmas cards she sent me during these years. And two autographed pictures that "Uncle" Van Johnson gave them. Cathy was a very nice and thoughtful lady and went out of her way to be kind to me.

  6. This is lovely, thank you so much. Cathy and Cindy only had good things to say about Joan. It’s hard to believe Joan has been gone 46 years. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel, honouring the legacy of Joan. She remains so well loved by many.

  7. I went to Junior college in Miami with Cathy. The dean actually asked me to look after her…she was quiet and reclusive. When some older locals found out who she was, she was romanced! A man down by our community pool and he perused her relentlessly! She would invite us to his nearby condo with her, and I was freaked out…he was very much older and flashy with his attention for her…nauseating really! We backed off and let her decide! Too gross and pathetic for me! That was Miama!

  8. My gosh, apparently my mom and grandmother were horrid! I had to clean my room, do dishes, laundry, yard work, take care of pets … I need therapy!

  9. Just listening to Joan Crawford talk reminds me distant we’ve become as a people and a culture to real, thoughtful, meaningful and deep expression. It’s amazing to listening to her as I came from that time and can remember conversations I had with my own family and friends and we would sound like what Joan Crawford expressed. I miss expression with fore thought and meaning.

  10. When I look at the pictures of the twins with Joan their body language is relaxed and they are always smiling… they lean into her. A picture paints a thousand words.

  11. There’s always two sides to the story and truth in between. It’s nice to hear Joan defended. I love her movies, my favorite is Autumn Leaves w Cliff Robertson

  12. I think it's so cool that they found their biological family and forged relationships.
    I hope they were happy and that their children and families are close as well.
    Joan Crawford was one helluv an actress and I still watch her movies.
    This is a lovely tribute to all three ladies.
    I'd never really heard much from the twins so to me, it was revealing and really just very nice.
    Thank you

  13. interesting and yet still odd. I do love Joan Crawford. She left about 2 million to various charities and I think $77,000 to each twin, except one twin inherited all Joan's personal property. Cathy then sold off everything including Joan's Oscar and Casey (Joan's grandson) had to buy his grandmothers' things back at the auctions.
