Bette Davis and Joan Crawford: The Rivalry Hollywood Couldn't Ignore

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford: two of the greatest stars in Hollywood history, and two of the most famous rivals. This documentary follows both women from their poor beginnings to the making of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), the film that revived their careers and made their rivalry legendary. We look at what is documented and what is disputed: the Franchot Tone love triangle, the Mildred Pierce Oscar, the Pepsi and Coca-Cola stories from the set, the 1963 Oscar night moment with Anne Bancroft, the Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte breakdown, and the aftermath of Mommie Dearest. Some of the best-known stories cannot be verified, and we say so. If you love classic Hollywood, forgotten stories, and the real people behind the legends, you are in the right place.
