I just set it as wallpaper(which will urk Little Sister but that's what family's for,right?).<BR/><BR/> I do remember a story about Bette and Joan's feud on the set of BJ,where Bette had Coca-Cola machines put in for the cast and crew,knowing full well that Joan was hitched to Pepsi magnate,Alfred Steele. Pretty pricey way to piss someone off!<BR/><BR/> I did listen to the John Waters' commentary on Mommie Dearest and he was fun,despite being slightly repetitive at times. I usually avoid the commentaries because I don't want to miss key lines,like"But YOU ARE,Blanche,You ARE!"lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994370.post-1151415409020366022006-06-27T09:36:00.000-04:002006-06-27T09:36:00.000-04:00P.S.- You may already know this, but Hush Hush Swe...P.S.- You may already know this, but Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte was originally intended to be a post-Baby Jane reteaming of Crawford and Davis. In fact, the original title was "Whatever Happened to Cousin Charlotte", but Davis threw a fit over the cheesiness of that name.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, they actually started filming with Joan and Bette, but Bette was (allegedly) so mean to Joan that she "took sick" and hung out in a hospital room until she got the news that she'd been replaced by Olivia de Havilland. This movie would have been SO MUCH MORE FUN with Joan in the role, if only because her character gets to slap Bette's Cousin Charlotte character.<BR/><BR/>Here's a publicity picture from Charlotte showing Joan and Bette in the roles:<BR/><BR/>http://www.joancrawfordbest.com/joancharlotte.jpgPJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139693870184658700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994370.post-1151382594114496462006-06-27T00:29:00.000-04:002006-06-27T00:29:00.000-04:00I love this post!Another fun movie in that genre i...I love this post!<BR/><BR/>Another fun movie in that genre is "Lady in a Cage", with Olivia De Havilland. Lots of guilty fun.<BR/><BR/>I keep getting the song from the Andy Williams featurette stuck in my head, and I have been wandering around my office singing it from time to time. No one has complained yet, but I'm sure it's coming...<BR/><BR/>I only wish Busch and Lypsinka had prepared more. As I listened to their commentary, I kept yelling at the tv screen when they'd get some factoid wrong. (For instance, Baby Jane's wig was originally used by Joan Crawford in a silent role in 1925's 'Pretty Ladies'. WHY wouldn't they know this?)<BR/><BR/>Also fun because it's so bad: The early 90's tv movie remake of Baby Jane, starring the Redgrave sisters. Lynn was Baby Jane (oddly, in Raggedy Ann makeup), and Vanessa was Blanche. Dreadful, but you can't take your eyes off of it.PJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139693870184658700noreply@blogger.com
