We watched "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" from Netflix last night.

**SIGH!** It's better in memory than in the watching. So much of the acting is lousy (the teenage girl next door. Joan Crawford...) Bette Davis is awesome, however.

There are 2 or 3 quotable lines, which we all know already. The rest is eminently missable.

the girl next door has no excuse for being a bad actress, considering she is the daughter of Bette Davis and Gary Merrill

Ah yes, nepotism. The wellspring of so many unworthy Hollywood careers.
