FEUD: Bette and Joan, the first installment of the new FX anthology series from Ryan Murphy, tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) during their collaboration on the Academy Award®-nominated thriller What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and well after the cameras stopped rolling. The series explores how the two women endured ageism, sexism, and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers.
In addition to Academy Award winners Lange and Sarandon, the cast includes Alfred Molina as the film’s director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as studio titan Jack Warner, Judy Davis as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, Jackie Hoffman as Crawford’s housekeeper Mamacita, and Alison Wright as Aldrich’s assistant Pauline.
Notable guest stars include Dominic Burgess as Crawford and Davis’ co-star Victor Buono, Catherine Zeta-Jones as film star Olivia de Havilland, Sarah Paulson as Geraldine Page, Kathy Bates as Joan Blondell and Kiernan Shipka as B.D., Bette Davis’ daughter.
FEUD: Bette and Joan is created by Ryan Murphy and Jaffe Cohen & Michael Zam. Ryan Murphy serves as Executive Producer along with Executive Producers Dede Gardner of Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, Tim Minear and Alexis Martin Woodall. The series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios.

The way Lange spoke in this interview, it was as though she didn't want to break character and thus continued to sound like Crawford.

I was extremely happy about this series, and look forward to its DVD release. Excellent. Some have criticized 'Lange is no Crawford'; 'Sarandon is no Davis.' Not me. I think both actresses were careful not to let their admiration for the legends get in their way of creating two real human beings, each with flaws of her own. Just enough - but not too much - of the mannerisms of each were carefully applied to create characters, not monuments. If _Feud_ doesn't draw a basket of Emmy nominations, something is seriously wrong.

I think both Lange and Sarandon out performed themselves in every way possible; they both deserve awards for portraying such screne legends in a very iconic way....they both portrayed the actresses characteristics to a tee and also added their own 'stank' when the time was right......

I think both Lange and Sarandon emerced themselves so well into their characters that they were both to a point of no return.......they both did amazing jobs of portraying the true characters of both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis....they both deserve an award.

I love Jessica Lange, Dino Delaurentiis made a good decision when he casted her to play Gwen in the 1977 version of King Kong. Since then she won two oscars. I met her in person during the filming Crimes in the Heart in Southport, NC. We just shared a big smile, I had no words to say to a great actress. I am very sure they all get tired hearing fans saying you are my favorite actress , I seen all of your movies, all I said to Ms Lange was Have a great day Ms Lange, and we shared a smile, she was holding one of her kids.

Note about Lange's performance in this film: she didn't impersonate or mimic. She acted the part with voice, facial and body gestures. She did what Crawford did to project herself but with her body. I was impressed she chose not to caricature Crawford. She also did not copy Dunaway. Dunaway employed a different intensity for Crawford.

She read every biography except mommy dearest apparently. If I recall correctly in an interview she said that she found no evidence in her research that would indicate she was an abusive parent (paraphrasing there). Now Jessica has a right to her opinion, and I defended her to a few Internet trolls when this was still new, but I have a hard time believing she came across zero evidence. When Christina published mommy dearest a lot of people from Joan Crawford‘s inner circle corroborated what she said. Including one of Joan’s longtime boyfriend’s And Fiancé. I forget the actors name but he said one of his greatest regrets was that he abandoned Christina and Christopher By breaking up with Joan. In addition to him Cristinas accounts were corroborated by actors including Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, Natalie Schafer and many others. Personally I think the producers had an image of Joan Crawford and Didn’t want the actors to shatter that image. Even if the image doesn’t match reality.

Kirk Douglas had no right to make any comments about Joan Crawford.. Considering he raped Natalie Wood when she was 16...

2:22 sadly true, Jessica Lange doesn't in anyway resemble Joan Crawford. Her performance however was excellent. But it only brings out the contrast of her lack of resemblance when you have Susan Sarandon who is a spitting image of Bette Davis especially in her Baby Jane makeup.

Love how she says exploring the voice is how she gets into character, when she literally plays the same character no matter what she’s cast in.

@USAjock9 6 жыл бұрын

I agree. Faye Dunaway in "Mommie dearest" kept Joan looking regal which from everything I have read is how Joan presented herself always during her height of fame. She still looked pretty good when "Jane" was made. Bette looked older then Joan I felt in the original film. In this totally fabricated mini series according to Olivia Dehavalan Jessica's portrayal made Joan look pathetic. A,so, Jessica is a fine actress but she looks years older the Sue and playing opposite was not flattering to Joan Crawford's legacy as the superb actress, star she was at a time when not many women were at her level in Hollywood.

@PungiFungi 5 жыл бұрын

Dunaway's performance in Mommie Dearest was so on target that no one else can possibly come close in portraying Crawford, not even Jessica Lange. When I saw Dunaway, I SAW Crawford. With Lange, as good as she was, there is just something missing.

I didn't care for Jessica as Joan. The real Joan still looked pretty good at the time "Whatever happened to baby Jane?" was filmed. After the films success Joan had a career resurgence for abit, getting scripts, roles etc.... Granted not like her hey day but it was decent work. Jessica and this sham mini series that is totally fabricated according to Olivia Dehavalan made Joan seem pathetic and miserable. She deserved better then this depiction. Jessica looks a lot older then Sue and playing opposite ONLY made Joan look bad. As a viewer to me it seemed as though this production was Pro Bette.

@USAjock9 5 жыл бұрын

No way.... Crawford was turning in her grave over this and that dreadful "Mommie dearest". At least that has some comical value and Faye did an excellent job looking the part unlike the horribly cast Jessica Lange who looks year's older then Sue. At the time when "Jane" was filmed Crawford still looked pretty good. The way she wore her hair made her look much older. I like Jessie Lange but she was miss cast. The whole mini series was a slap in the face to both actresses, Davis/Crawford. Do you really think Joan would be happy being portrayed spitting blood in the sink and referencing her bad teeth? Give me a break. That mini series made her look pathetic. In all the films I have ever seen of hers in the 30's & 40's her smile was magical, beautiful.
