Sometimes that "camp" factor scares away viewers in droves. Frankly, I have no idea whether you would enjoy it or not. It is tinged with dark humor and strong performances, and I think angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-77620582231632888182017-04-20T01:11:40.943-07:002017-04-20T01:11:40.943-07:00Hi Ken - LOL, I want to see the Redgrave Sisters&#...Hi Ken - LOL, I want to see the Redgrave Sisters' version again too!

A ancillary bonus being listening to the young people in my dance class talk about Bette Davis & Joan Crawford in ways similar to what I must have sounded like at their age: as though I'd discovered them!<br /><br />"Baby Jane" has always been a favorite, but I must say it's been nice seeing so much serious Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-77022676399925907832017-04-17T03:45:27.050-07:002017-04-17T03:45:27.050-07:00Bette Davis' makeup has been the sole reason I...Bette Davis' makeup has been the sole reason I have avoided this movie. I never thought of Davis as a sex goddess or anything, but I have always considered her somewhat attractive on a certain scale. I need to finally break down and view this one, I know, if I want my "classic" library to be complete. It still might be months or even years more before i finally succumb to the Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-67136667763010866672017-04-11T13:37:36.850-07:002017-04-11T13:37:36.850-07:00Hey, thanks for visiting and reading.

Also watching "Feud" and almost died this week when Jessica Lange recreated "Strait Jacket". It's almost too much.

ABC loved horror and supernatural themes! <br /><br />Hush, Hush is a great one too, with Agnes Moorehead all but stealing the angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-26433606619262236552017-04-05T21:49:32.628-07:002017-04-05T21:49:32.628-07:00"Joan knew how to look like a winner" --..."Joan knew how to look like a winner" -- to put it mildly. Great piece on this famous movie, Chris, which you obviously appreciate (I like "Hush .. Hush" a bit better, but "Baby Jane' is a lot of fun as well).<br /><br />I first caught it on ABC's Sunday Night Movie or something like that, and the introduction was the scene when Bette/Baby Jane catches sight of Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.com
