Overview

  • In a June 5 Interview Magazine feature, Mia Farrow described B.D. Hyman’s 1985 memoir My Mother’s Keeper as “trashy” and said Hyman “betrayed her mother.”
  • Farrow, who co-starred with Davis in 1978’s Death on the Nile, said she lost all respect for Hyman while reaffirming her deep affection for Davis.

  • Farrow revealed that Davis cautioned her never to wear wigs after suffering significant hair loss from prolonged wig use.
  • Davis disinherited Hyman following the memoir’s publication and publicly criticised her daughter’s lack of loyalty in an open letter.
