    FEUD: Bette and Joan, the first installment of the new FX anthology series from Ryan Murphy, tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) during their collaboration on the Academy Award®-nominated thriller What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, and well after the cameras stopped rolling. The series explores how the two women endured ageism, sexism, and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers.
    In addition to Academy Award winners Lange and Sarandon, the cast includes Alfred Molina as the film’s director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as studio titan Jack Warner, Judy Davis as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, Jackie Hoffman as Crawford’s housekeeper Mamacita, and Alison Wright as Aldrich’s assistant Pauline.
    Notable guest stars include Dominic Burgess as Crawford and Davis’ co-star Victor Buono, Catherine Zeta-Jones as film star Olivia de Havilland, Sarah Paulson as Geraldine Page, Kathy Bates as Joan Blondell and Kiernan Shipka as B.D., Bette Davis’ daughter.
    FEUD: Bette and Joan is created by Ryan Murphy and Jaffe Cohen & Michael Zam. Ryan Murphy serves as Executive Producer along with Executive Producers Dede Gardner of Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, Tim Minear and Alexis Martin Woodall. The series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios.

    Susan is so great because she doesn't "overdo" Bette's mannerisms and staccato speaking voice = "clipped" as it were. *Very* wise.

      True, when an actor is trying to hard to imitate (especially a southern or NY accent, don't get me started 🙄) there is a palpable effect on their performance. It's obvious that their mind is distracted from the performance by trying so hard to nail the accent.

    She stated in an interview the hardest part was all the smoking, as She herself doesn't smoke, Bette Davis could smoke 100 a day. Sam Rockwell similarly only smoked every now and then, but after playing Bob Fosse, can hardly look at a cigarette. Absolute TITANS all 4 of them!

    Susan looks amazing. She's probably had work done but none of it is noticeable. She's a youthful yet mature looking woman. Best of all she didn't plump up her always beautiful lips with so much collagen that you'd think they're about to burst like many stars (yes, I mean you Nicole Scherzinger)

      Yes! Both Davis and Crawford looked older than their years, especially Davis. Drinking, smoking, excessive stress will age you prematurely. Plastic surgery was in its infancy during the 60s and there was no injectables (botox, Juvaderm.etc.)

    Jessica L captures the cadence and flow of Joan's dialect far better than Sarandon does with Davis' voice. All she does is allude to the dialect coach, and getting Bette's intonation and speech down, but it just sounds like Susan Sarandon to me, for most of the series.

    I think Susan Sarandon was born to play the role. I think she knocked it out of the park and deserved and academy award for her performance. I don't appreciate her presumption in continually stating that B.D Davis Hyman wrote a "nasty" book about her mother Bette. The producer of Feud was genius but he also had an agenda to make both eldest daughters of Joan and Bette as ugly as he could even if it included fictional lies. Like Christina Crawford having already written her book before Joan died. I'm not going to go into it all but there's just too much evidence to bury his lies and if Sarandon didn't discover the pain she eventually inflicted on her daughter then maybe she didn't come to know the role as deeply as she thought she did. B.D's book wasn't nasty. It actually had some nice stories in it. She had a good childhood, she felt loved, she knew that her mother worked very very hard to support her family but as Bette grew older she grew more bitter towards the world, especially towards men and she didn't like it that B.D was happy, married, with two sons. Their relationship crumbled, B.D wanted it back but there was no communicating with her mother so she thought "If I write this book and tell the truth about our relationship then she'll have to listen!" She can't hang it up like a telephone or tear it up like a letter..." It was drastic, maybe it was naïve but B.D. wrote the book in hopes of getting through to her mother and of course, that's not what happened. Everything just got worse. Sadly, mothers and daughters have fallings out. Just because B.D's mother was famous it doesn't make her an evil person for being human and trying to cope with their estrangement.

      @@MBG.426 There is no proof that Joan knew about the book being written or that there were "advanced copies" of anything before she died. Only that Christina kept a private diary. The contents of which gave her the bravery to write "Mommie Dearest". Whether Christina began writing the book before Joan's death or after may also be unclear but either way, the scene portraying her as a loving grandma (Joan didn't let anyone call her that) and poor martyr for having a book written about the truth as to how she treated her two oldest children, doesn't make me feel badly for her.

    Sarandon physically captured Bette Davis and her mannerisms. I loved watching her. BUT- She did NOT capture Davis's distinctive voice and speech pattern. That was a huge disappointment as she cold easily have done so, but was too worried about coming off as a Bette Davis imitator. She definitely could have done Davis's voice and speech pattern without becoming "camp." Instead she "overthought" things and really missed the boat in this aspect. It's a real pity that such a needless concern got in her way. A real disappointment!
