I recently learned that Gaslighting has become a term for a type of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity.

Gaslight is one of my favorite classic movies. Wasn’t Angela Lansbury only about 17 or 18 when she made that movie?

Angela Lansbury played went on to play the serial killer in Murder She Wrote. Did you ever notice that wherever her character went murder followed. Sleepy little towns, plush resorts, anywhere. Places that never even had a misdemeanor had people dropping like flies when she showed up. Coincidence? I think not. She always managed to pin it on somebody else.

Yep, a common ploy of sociopaths and some narcissists. It happens much more frequently than you might think.

Yup, it is what the Mainstream Media does to everyone all the time...

it's fairly safe to say that we'll have Mr. Mickey Rooney at college now for the next eight years.Mickey Rooney, the Michael J. Fox of his day.

I recently saw Gaslight for the first time. Very good movie, but I wish she’d gotten better revenge on her husband at the end, while he was tied up. Audiences would have cheered. What a despicable character he was!
