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.

Did you ever see the remake ABC did with the Redgrave sisters? It's even worse...

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

Oh, Todd. You wouldn't be so cruel if Joan weren't in a wheelchair...

There is an old book called "Bette & Joan: The Devine Feud" about their career long dislike of each other. The bitchfest really came to a head on the set of that movie. A fun read if you can find an old copy.
