What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - You're a Liar!

[@prissy.laroux]

It’s crazy how these two women envied each other. Bette envied Joan’s beauty while Joan envied Bette’s acting abilities. They were both talented! If only they worked together more than they hated each other.

[@beatrizgomez3423]

I think they hated each others

[@Brandon3T]

Bette Davis was a very honest person and I've never heard her say anything about Joans supposed beauty. Joan envied Bette versatile acting abilities, thats for sure.

[@here_we_go_again2571]

*Bette and Joan did not* *hate each other.* That was manufactured by the media. Both Joan and Bette worked in the old Studio System of Old Hollywood. Both fought with their employers to get good roles rather than being type-cast. Two of their contemporaries, Barbara Stanwyck and Katherine Hepburn also wrestled with the Old Hollywood system to get good acting roles. Joan's career was much longer than Bette's. She began in silent films (1920's) Bette began on the stage and moved to Hollywood during the 1930's after "Talkies" were invented. Barabara Stanwyck was a contemporary of Joan. Katherine Hepburn was a contemporary of Bette. *Although all 4 women's* *timelines overlapped*

[@hyperdog67]

​@@here_we_go_again2571I disagree with you. When Joan died a reporter asked Davis if she had anything to say about Joan's passing? Davis said: "You should never say bad things about the dead, only good. Joan Crawford is dead? Good."

Unbelievable that this movie masterpiece was wrapped up in 3 weeks. A testament to the hard work of everyone involved. Brilliant performances by both Crawford and Davis.. but also the supporting actors who cemented the movie with such strong performances. It has stood the test of time as a classic one-off.

True. Joan's performance was so restrained! She displayed the immense inner conflict of Blanche's character *BOTH Bette and Joan* *deserved Oscars for* *their performances* (1962) For that matter so did Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke -- "The Miracle Worker." (1962) There have been Oscar ties (Barbara Streisand and Katherine Hepburn in 1968.) I agree with the decision for 1968. The 1962 Oscars should have been a tie for both lead and supporting actresses between "The Miracle Worker" and for " ... Baby Jane" -- Although the other actresses in 1962 nominations for the lead/supporting roles were good too.

[@ThisGuy65842]

SpotOn!!!

[@SWLinPHX]

When I first saw this as a kid I hated Jane and empathized with Blanche. But Davis's nuanced performance shows how damaged and emotionally crippled Jane is that you end up sympathizing with her in a strange way, especially once the truth comes out at the end.

[@theraven6843]

Yes! I cried at the end!

[@stevebennet6539]

Jane was always the victim here. Blanche ruined her life and manipulated her to ensure she never knew the truth.
