Today I just re-watched What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) 10/10
The star of this film is 1) Bette Davis ... 2) Bette Davis ... and 3) Bette Davis
It is easy to sense how motivated Bette was to outshine Joan at all times
Joan Crawford is fantastic ...
but it's hard to notice because she's like a banana and Bette Davis is a starving King Kong.
Bette Davis has always been my favorite actress ...
I don't think any other actress could have delivered the greatness Bette gave to this role.
I'm actually watching this movie right now on
TCM ( Turner Classic Movies )
. I'm seeing a lot of the similarities
from the movie to this new show as well
. It definitely seems that actresses
Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange
are truly capturing the movie styles of
legendary actresses
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford too
. It's interesting also when the later film
Mommie Dearest 1981
was first out .
I actually used to confuse actress
Faye Dunaway
with actress
Jessica Lange
IMPO - I think both actresses looked so much alike at that time - 1980's .
Almost " an eerie sort of prediction " that Jessica Lange has now taken
the same role of Joan Crawford quite a few years later
.
