Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I absolutely love Hollywood’s Golden Era movies. Actresses like Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, and Joan Crawford are right up there amongst my favorites. If given a movie from yesteryear or a movie from today, there’s absolutely no question in my mind which I would watch!
And, some of you have seen me recommend What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) several times in my monthly movie entries. I have been aware of the hatred both of the stars of that movie had for each other (Bette Davis & Joan Crawford). It’s one of Hollywood’s many-times-told stories.
Well, imagine how elated I am to see that the FX channel will be showing a five-part miniseries about the actresses’ feud, and the making of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. I am so excited that I have already made it a “One Pass” on my Tivo!
“Feud” will begin airing on Sunday, March 5, and take a look at the cast! Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon), Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange), Hedda Hopper (Judy Davis), the director (Alfred Molina), Olivia de Havilland (Catherine Zeta-Jones), and Joan Blondell (Kathy Bates) are just some of the famous actresses portrayed in the miniseries and those who portray them.
Even though this isn’t a mystery movie, it should be fun to watch for those of us who have repeatedly enjoyed movies starring these actresses. I really am excited about these big-screen names hitting the small screen!
P.S. If you want the list of mystery movies that will be playing during March ’17, here’s the link:
Here is the list of new release for February 27 to March 5!
February is running to a close, and that means it’s time to discuss our recommended Cozy Mysteries that we’ve read throughout the month. If you read a Cozy you can strongly recommend in the month of February, be sure to let the rest of us know here! My own recommendation for this month is Kate Collins‘s Flower Shop Mystery Series.
