Mildred Pierce 1945

I'm NOT going to lie!
This entire matter has been terribly embarrassing. As a successful businesswoman,
I have a public image to maintain. Needless to say, my tramp daughter getting with
my husband doesn't exactly fit into the public image I like to project! People have
been gossiping about me for several years now, even since Veda went to prison.
I tell you, I just wanted to run and hide. But I stayed, and have continued on up the
ladder of success I began, before I found out the awful truth about my daughter!

Monte Beragon's shameless assignation with my trampy daughter was simply a ploy to make
me jealous! I know that now.....he felt useless, cast aside, while I worked long hours. In a bizarre,
twisted attempt to get my attention, he turned to Veda. Had I known the depths of his anguish,
I would've cut down on my hours, given it up, who knows - but I would've done something,
anything, to let him know he was still the man of the house. True, I only married Monte to make
Veda happy, but once I commit to a man, I commit myself body & soul, 100%, all the way!
I wasn't going to let the fact that he was a spineless, mooching loser affect my behavior.
I know what has to be done, and I'm willing to do it.......I just never got the chance!
Oh, Monte.......I'm so sorry!
But time for me to move on with my life.....

Welcome to my Website!
It was 1945 when Bert Pierce walked out on us.
Cooking, cleaning, taking care of children was all I knew.
I had to find a job - any job. I did what it took......
I pulled myself up by my bootstraps - and so can you!
Veda is out of prison now, working in the parking lot of my
restaurant as a "customer service representative" -
if you get my drift.............!
What can I say, it pays well!!!

Things have changed since 1945, but some things
never change, and one of those things is a man.
Men never change! They want the same thing
now, that they did then.....if you're smart, you'll
wake up and smell the coffee.
Fix yourself up for your man, be attractive, be
sweet to him. Admire him...men crave that!

I'm not like these modern, unnatural girls who say they "don't need a man."
What on earth is wrong with them ~ what point is there to life, if not for
love, for romance? I feel sorry for these poor women. They do not even
know how to enjoy their femininity! They need my help.
I will never be manless.
Why, Bert Pierce was barely out the door before Wally Faye "dropped by."
Before long, I had to install a revolving door. Why lie?
I'm popular - deal with it!
If you're smart, you'll take my advice & start using your own
"feminine wiles" - in whatever situation you can.

....is that so wrong?
I wanted my little girl to be liked.
To be "popular"......
But I didn't expect her "popularity" to
extend to my own husband!

How humiliating, to know
that I raised the town tramp....

How could I have known, that what I was dealing with, was the devil in disguise?
Oh how it pains me to say it, but my lovely little girl....my Veda..my only surviving daughter.....was the town slut. Even the waitresses at my restaurant were gossiping about her - my own daughter! She didn't even care about what it was doing to me, or my reputation in the business world. It was so disgusting.....she fleeced ten grand out of old Mrs. Forrester, Ted's mother, by pretending to be pregnant! She was shameless in her desires for money!
How did this happen?
Just because I bought her a car (or two), and gave her the things I had grown up without.....is that why she became a harlot? Oh God, I pray not. I couldn't take it, I cannot take the blame for Veda's sins!!

God help me.......
