About Phillip Terry who played Doniger

During the 1930s and 1940s Joan Crawford was one of Hollywood’s most famous movie stars and one of the highest paid women.

Although she was single, in 1939 she adopted a baby girl, whom she named Joan Crawford, Jr. and later renamed her Christina. Christina always alleged that Joan abused her. She wrote a book which was made into a movie – Mommy Dearest alleging years of abuse. Friends, family and Joan’s other children disputed Christina’s claim. A year or two later, Joan adopted a boy.

Joan Crawford was a single parent for roughly three years from 1939-1942. She was concerned about the children not having a father figure. Phillip Terry came into the picture became an instant father for the two young children. Joan married Phil in 1942. She named the son Phillip Terry Jr.
