** Joan likely wouldn't have bought or hung the clothes up herself. She would have ''paid'' for them but the maid would have brought them home. So Joan might not have known about the hangers.

* I wasn't too sure where to put this, but this tab seemed like the best option - given the movie's content, ''Mommie Dearest'' is pretty much the last thing you'd mention in polite company around Mother's Day and certainly not something you'd use in positively promoting said holiday. Well, in 1992 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoeN5_VZPgY Lifetime thought otherwise]]. Yes, the network that proclaims itself as "Television For Women" actually aired a Mother's Day-related promo that included a clip from this film. It's especially jarring for two reasons:
#Lifetime's got a long history of airing and making films that portray men as idiots and/or outright evil, so a film where a woman is the BigBad stands out.
#While the linked video only has a brief clip of said promo (only taking up the first 3 seconds), it precedes a '92 ''Series/SupermarketSweep'' episode from Mother-Daughter Week with the daughters being kids. Yes, really.

** Dry cleaning places often return clothes on wire hangers. The maid could have simply forgotten to take some of the clothes off the hangers after retrieving them from the cleaner's.

* Where did the infamous wire hangers come from? Children don't go shopping for hangers, so they must have been purchased by Joan herself. But if she didn't want wire hangers, why would she buy them?
