Synopsis

The legendary dispute between the two Oscar-winning actresses (Crawford and Davis) fueled the fire both on- and off-screen in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) which was directed by Robert Aldrich. Its Grand Guignol story of an aging ex-vaudeville child star (Davis) waging a psychotic reign of terror over her crippled ex-movie-star sister (Crawford) became a smash hit and nabbed Davis her 10th Academy Award nomination for her acid portrayal of the title role. Nominated for an impressive five Academy Awards (winning for Best Costume Design), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a mirthful and satisfying masterpiece of the macabre.
