      What would you do if you were Blanche? I can't be sure but I sometimes think that if I were in Blanche's situation. I would try and turn the tables so-to-speak and get a good laugh on her. Maybe eat the rat (or at least take the skin and meat off and leave the bones ) and tell Jane that it was delicious and that she has to try some sometime too.

      I agree. Though Davis has the more flamboyant role, Crawford’s quieter, more subtle performance is of no less quality. Oddly enough, though, had I been a member of the Academy, my vote for 1962 would have gone to Katharine Hepburn for “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” a staggering performance unfortunately not seen by many people.

      Not that I believe this to be true, but Bette supposedly claimed that she lost out in 1950 for "All About Eve" because her co-star, Anne Baxter, was also nominated, and they split the vote between them, allowing Judy Holliday to win. Perhaps Bette was relieved that Joan did not get nominated as well in the hope of avoiding another split vote? No matter, nobody was going to beat Anne Bancroft that year for "The Miracle Worker".
