This weekend Showcase airs the must see HBO documentary Mommy Dead And Dearest.
Wheelchair-bound Gypsy Rose Blanchard believed she was terminally ill, but this was actually an elaborate lie her mother had been telling both her and the townspeople of Springfield, Missouri, all her life. It’s a story of mystery about a mother and daughter who everybody thought were living a fairy-tale life, but who turned out to be sharing a living nightmare, ultimately resulting with Gypsy Rose being implicated in her mother’s murder.
Mommy Dead And Dearest airs Sunday December 17 at 8.30pm on showcase.
