Rivalry comes to television with Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Bette and Joan
The series ‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ will centre around this very combustible relationship, initially conceived as a promotional vehicle, on the sets of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, but later went on to emerge as a genre classic and extended well after the cameras stopped rolling.
Audiences must have witnessed a number of cat fights in the entertainment and film industry but no one has ever witnessed a rivalry like this one in the history of global cinema! Hollywood legends - Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are known for their epic Oscar wins and their exceptional performances in movies but what they are most famous for is their unrelenting and very public spat that lasted decades!
The series ‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ will centre around this very combustible relationship, initially conceived as a promotional vehicle, on the sets of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, but later went on to emerge as a genre classic and extended well after the cameras stopped rolling.
"It's a blue-sky fantasy show, and I think people want that now, particularly after this bruising election,” says Murphy, who will look at Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the second Feud instalment, due in 2018. “It’s fun to watch. It looks pretty. The sets, costumes, jewellery and music (create) a weird fantasy, but, hopefully, there’s more depth than you would expect.”
The eight-episode project, recalls how the ladies struggled to hang on to fame in the twilight of their careers as they faced such obstacles as ageism, sexism and misogyny. The series comprises of a stellar star cast such as Oscar winners Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kathy Bates, Oscar nominees such as Stanley Tucci, Judy Davis and Emmy award winner Alfred Molina among others!
“There’s nothing more delicious than movie stars playing movie stars,” Murphy says. “The only two people I ever wanted to do this with were Jessica and Susan. They just add a certain gravity.
They have both been movie stars since the ‘70s, so they bring a lot of knowledge about Hollywood and how things have changed and not changed that informs the material in a wonderful way.” Catch the sensational battle between the Hollywood divas exclusively on Star World Premiere HD every Sunday starting on March 19 from 9pm.
