Susan's performance as the queen of mean, 4 March 2005
6/10
Author: mskinne22 from United States

well maybe i am the only one but i just couldn't stop looking at the awful dentures they put in one of my favorite actresses' mouths. how could Susan think for a moment that she was going to look normal? she looks freakish!!! otherwise the movie is a smash and depicts Leona as the psychotic woman that she really was or still is. since this movie is probably one of the better miniseries, it remains on my favorites list. a true classic and can sometimes still be seen on networks like lifetime and the ovarium channels. i try to catch up on the good ones from time to time and would like to see this one again. its definitely good, even if i gave it just a six.
