Joan Crawford
requested the part of Blanch in the film “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” Joan also recommended Bettie Davis for the part of Baby Jane Hudson!
This was perfect as in the 1930s you could argue that Joan was better looking, but Bettie perhaps more talented as an actress.
The movie was really successful, and Joan and Bettie were going to make another movie together, but the animosity level was too high. Joan, who was on the board of directors of Pepsi Cola, quit the proposed film.
The author (Henry Farrell) of “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” is a really fantastic writer. I wish I could write that good!
Also, in the movie “Whatever happened to Baby Jane,” the nosy neighbors next door had a Keane print hanging on their wall thus:

Holly Mccall!
(I had a rug just like that!)
&
Holly with her women’s Army uniform removed.
Was that Holly’s uniform or from the surplus store on Van Nuys Blvd.?
