A cultish horror favorite, 1962's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? will make you think twice before hungrily unveiling a covered plate of food. Bette Davis stars as Jane Hudson, a onetime child actress and singer. As an elderly woman, she wishes to revive her vaudevillian career, but she has become a grotesque caricature of her former self. Over the years as her star faded, the star of her older sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) rose, outshining the career of the has-been Baby Jane. Jane was relegated to minor roles, which she only won when Blanche demanded that she be awarded them. The film opens years after a calamitous car accident leaves Blanche in a wheelchair, with no one to care for her except the increasingly insane and sadistic Jane and their servant, Norman. Trying to punish Blanche for her years of success, Jane tortures the housebound woman, slowly trying to starve her to death, all the while attempting to recapture the fame of her youth. This dark drama also stars Victor Buono as the hefty pianist who answers Jane's ad for an accompanist, hoping to milk some money off the demented old woman. Both Buono and Davis were nominated for Oscars for their roles in this suspenseful and somewhat sick thriller that exploited well the real-life antagonism between Davis and Crawford, while at the same time rejuvenated both their careers. --Jenny Brown

Robert Aldrich's 1962 Movie Masterpiece, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" is one of my all time favorite films and one of the visionary staples of my youth. I have long admired the "larger than life" glamour andcinematic greatness of Movie Legends Bette Davis b. Ruth Elizabeth Davis, (1908-1989) and Joan Crawford b. Lucille Faye LeSueur, (1904-1977) and thissuperbly acted, well-crafted film justifies and further cements that appreciation.
In short, the film is about an embittered, neurotic ... Read More
