BOISE - Actress and author Christina Crawford, daughter of actress Joan
Crawford and author of the book “Mommie Dearest,” has been appointed to
the Benewah County Commission by Gov. Butch Otter.

Otter named Crawford, who now operates the Seven Springs Country Inn near
Tensed and who has served on the Benewah County Soil and Water
Conservation Board, to fill the county commission vacancy created by the
death of Commissioner Terry Doupe of DeSmet on Nov. 22. Like Doupe,
Crawford is a Democrat; she joins commissioners Jack Buell and N.L. “Bud”
McCall on the three-member commission.

Crawford, whose best-selling 1978 memoir told of abuse by her adoptive
mother, has a master’s degree in communication management from the
University of Southern California. She is a former executive for the Coeur
d’Alene Hotel & Casino, has written several other books and is a former
television show host.
