ST. MARIES, Idaho (AP) — Actress and writer Christina Crawford, who wrote the book "Mommie Dearest," has been appointed to the Benewah County Commission by Gov. Butch Otter.
Crawford is the adopted daughter of actress Joan Crawford, and wrote the controversial book about her upbringing that later became a movie.
Otter picked Crawford, who operates the Seven Springs Country Inn near Tensed, to fill the commission vacancy created by the recent death of Terry Doupe. Crawford is a former executive for the Coeur dAlene Casino.
