Forget the wire hangers. "Don't f*** with me, fellas" is the best line of the film. LOL.

@@sherrysink3177 and she says she had a 5th grade education but i say she had a phd in hard knocks. woo hoo.

@@sherrysink3177 100%

I LOVE it!!!!

She made some dreadful movies twds her decline...Strait-Jacket for one. She was on stage in every sense of the word, must have been exhausting for her.

@@glenn20081965 I actually like Strait-Jacket but I can see why people wouldn't. The mid 40s to early 50s was her peak of starring in good films.

The public reaction was this was camp and it was viewed as a comedy as it was so over the top and poorly acted. It is hysterical to watch.

@@glenn20081965 Many of the older actresses did the so-called "Horror Hag" movies. Bette Davis in The Nanny and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, Shelley Winters in Who Slew Aunyie Roo?, Winters and Debbie Reynolds in What's the Matter With Helen? and Tallulah Bankhead in Die! Die! My Darling. I kind of like them all, though some are better than others.

@@bengilbert7655 That's not the issue here. Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Nanny, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and so forth were good movies with good scripts and writing. Joan was not that smart in choosing roles in later life, it was almost like a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Other actresses had a second career in later life.

Well done. Perfect choice of actors. 🖤

Davis hated Miriam Hopkins long before she met Crawford, called her a scene stealer, she'd go to the back of the stage forcing Bette to turn her back on the audience or camera, "Her scene-stealing clearly a compulsion."

Being an actress during that period in Hollywood was beyond difficult the older you got. I can't remember who said it, a producer or director or somebody of high power, said "I would wouldn't pay a dime for those two washed up women" or something close to it. Then Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? came out and was a sleeper hit.

VERY good suggestion

I agree! But you must watch Whatever Happened to Baby Jane first since a good part of Feud is about that.

My favorite lines 😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing

As an Adoptee, born a fratenal Twin, separated from my Twin Brother through adoption, as well as all my other family & siblings, with a closed/sealed adoption, an altered identity, amended birth certificate, & both me & my Twin adopted separately into very abusive homes, (my adoptive Mother was a lot like Joan Crawford in this movie except not a movie star), & still fighting for our rights, & still looking for our birth father & his family at 53 years old, I think its morally wrong to keep it a secret, to lie, to hide from a child their origin. What if you were to suddenly find out tomorrow that the family you thought was your family, was not your birth family of origin? No matter how much "love" was in the adopted family you knew as your family, you'd suddenly question that so called love, if they felt a need to hide things from you. Adoptees whether they are told about their origin or not, will often sense that there is something fundementally different or off about themselves compared to their adopted family. And they will question their "belonging" & their identity, especially if they find out late in life. They will not have anyone around them, (unless a biological sibling is adopted with them), that mirrors them in DNA. And even then it won't be a source of that DNA. Finding our birth mother was a long awaited answered prayer, even though it turned out to be a very difficult situation. One thing that I cannot stress enough, was the delight & relief in seeing someone with my hands. I can not describe the relief to finally have that genetic mirroring from someone who was a source of it. We knew her for a year & a month, before she passed away. We tried to get her hospital records, but because we were "Adopted out of the family", someone who is still technically in the family has to get them. Utterly maddening. Soon we will apply to get our names changed to their original names. We've already applied & been accepted into our Mother's & Maternal Grandfather's Native American tribe. We got DNA tests, but don't really know how to utilize the results in our search for our Father.. One thing I want to add - is that Adoptees are frequently denied an inheritance in either family. Which leaves them in a limbo nowhere state of consciousness. Not really belonging anywhere.

@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. - Thank you for asking - and being open to being educated on the subject.

That’s your story, not the story of the hundreds of millions of other adopted humans

@@judethaddeus9856 + Is your comment directed at the original commenter at the top of this thread?

She reads like someone with BPD

The movie add scenes that wasnt in the book

@@JamesJones-zq7pc Tons of them - showering with Greg - Pepsi board meeting - Vera walking in on Christina and whats-his-name making out in the hayloft.....🤣

Me too because it was exactly like my mom

And I’m Mexican and my parents were white and that didn’t matter.

"Terms of Endearment" as well

so sorry y ou went through that.

And they're not now? Lol

She and Christopher also sued Joan's estate while the book was being written and released. They subsequently won $55,000 each.

@@systemshocker2875 but that's so little to what she had

She told christina about her adoption but she also told her that her mom was dead which was a lie her dad was living near her and she never knew

YESSSS!!!

Now that you mention it, I have this idea of Faye Dunaway and Diana Scarwid in a remake of Terms of Endearment😄 When Garrett Breedlove moves in next door, it's a Chinatown reunion. My sister-my mother-my sister-my mother-my.....

I think laughing is how some people deal with it.

Now that's a classic!

Bipolar or borderline?

That is awesome! THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Back then, abuse was considered "a family matter." 🙄

@@cfinley81 yep until someone left or someone mysteriously died

Reminds me of the Bright Lights documentary featuring Debbie Reynolds and her children. Debbie being an old school Hollywood actress always seemed to be on and ready. It had been conditioned into her.

I think this is a lot more about Dunaway than it is Crawford. I rarely watch reality TV shows but there was one called "Starlet" with Dunaway as a judge (Vivica Fox was another) and they judged 10 aspiring actresses in different acting scenes. Dunaway was harsh, very much like her caricature here.

Although the movie or film was a parody, but by looking at Joan Crawford interviews in the 1950's and 1960's, she was indeed over the top individual. So lets not get it twisted, I think Faye Dunaway did a good job immitating aspects of her persona. You can watch her interviews all through youtube, and Dunaways immitated her perfectly.

It doesn't seem that over-the-top if you've experienced something like it. The comments on a video from the Take are filled with people sharing their trauma and how real this was and that the video didn't take it seriously.

The younger two say they had a great experience with Crawford as a mother.

With all that screaming, I'm surprised Crawford didn't die of throat cancer😆
