What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - You're Fired

[@JerseySurvivor]

The beret is pure Bette!! But my fav here is the great Madie Norman as Elvira. This woman starred opposite just about every Hollywood great from Crawford to Streisand. It is said that this role was written more 'comical' and Madie refused to play it that way stating to Aldrich "those days are gone. A woman who chooses the profession does so because she belives in it-- and she doesn't come cheap" Aldrich gave in after the insistance of his 2 leads. Madie spent her final years teaching in S. Cruz

I love Maddie Norman,,been in so many movies and rarely mentioned.

[@mariarehard5620]

anyway go you're fired hahahaha my favorite line lol ah my god lol Betty Davis rocks

[@SLATania74]

@JerseySurvivor That's one of the reasons this film is so great; the maid Elvira was a likable & didn't act like a stereotype.

[@joansmith6092]

Shane McAndrew I always thought of Elvira as a housekeeper.

[@alpuretim]

Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.

[@vistaestrada]

That's Madie Norman as "Elvira". She appeared as Joan Crawford's secretary in "Torch Song" in 1953 and would have appeared with her again as her companion in "Airport 77" but Crawford died and was replaced, again, by Olivia DeHavilland.

[@JSOMERSETJSOMERSET]

vistaestrada never knew that.that is twice Crawford was replaced by Olivia

[@JSOMERSETJSOMERSET]

that's a beautiful neighborhood looks like the house in a Janet Jackson video!

[@jazmynbrown6820]

I would've loved to have met Bette Davis! I love her!

[@jabnola]

Joan added extra 10lb waits from the gym just to spite Betty.

[@2taggs2]

This plays and looks more like a tv series than a motion picture -- it's the damn back round music!

[@The1ByTheSea]

its the drama

[@The1ByTheSea]

when acting was acting...when it was good

[@unusualfeline]

the beret is fabulous Jane!

[@Puzzybear-qb1sr]

She should have told that maid to get the neighbors and come inside and call the police

[@CinnabonChan]

@SLATania74 Elvira is probably the only completely nice character in the film. Plus she's got balls as well.

[@The1ByTheSea]

the way Bette Davis is dressed here is it 1920s attire .Is she still dressed in 1920s attire or is it 1940s or 1950s attire? or just early 20th century attire ?

[@paulsegraves1839]

The film takes place in 1962, but Jane still is stuck in a psychotic time warp from childhood years and when she was making movies in the 30s, before the accident.

[@wolfsden3812]

Felt so sorry for the maid sweet hearted woman

[@kovenilluminati]

1:14 So much better than Donald Trump in The apprentice xD. Did Christina Aguilera choose Baby Jane's nickname on "Ain't no other man" for Bette Davis? She uses a smiliar old Hollywood look with that hat.

[@stevebennet6539]

I don't think Jane liked being a bitch. I don't think she enjoyed doing that the Elvira. Jane was a victim of Blanche's systematic mental abuse. The true horror in this story is Blanche. All that glitters is definitely not gold.

[@Kaboomboo]

Bette was the BEST!

[@raymondescobar1702]

beautiful

[@The1ByTheSea]

I am surprised Jane did not run over Elvira ???..?? ,maybe it was too obvious ?

[@zyxw2024]

😂

[@vegetasolo1221]

While Bette Davis took delight in looking dreadful for the film, the opposite was true of Joan Crawford. Even though Blanche had once been a beautiful young actress, she was now is her 50s, confined to a wheelchair, emaciated and wasting away. It was difficult for Crawford to appear unattractive, since she had always been considered one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars. "It was a constant battle to get her not to look gorgeous," said Davis. "She wanted her hair well dressed, her gowns beautiful and her fingernails with red nail polish. For the part of an invalid who had been cooped up in a room for twenty years, she wanted to look attractive. She was wrong."

[@catpeach326]

Vegeta solo Agreed.

[@jackanthony976]

I agree. Joan should have appeared more haggard, her hair unkempt, maybe a tooth or two missing and maybe a rip on her nightgown.

[@mariasuzi9490]

Elveria would off got Joan out off this in reality

[@briandelaney9710]

Baby Jane says “ya fired “ much better then Trump

[@K7H7]

[@mariasuzi9490]

Madonna really copies bettie Davies style , image and personality too ,

[@bdiaz6081]

You’re a fool

[@TheGreekPianist]

Maria suzi Bette Midler was actually named after her, too! Her middle name is Davis
