“It seemed to me that each one coveted what the other possessed. Joan envied Bette’s incredible talent, and Bette envied Joan’s seductive glamour.” – George Cukor, director.

Nowthis is a fantastic read. My favourite part was during the making of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?. In the scene where Bette drags Joan’s almost-lifeless body across room, Joan secretly wore heavy weights underneath her long gown, seriously injuring Bette’s back as a result.
