I have been watching Feud:Bette and Joan. It is about the ongoing hostility between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. It is set in 1962 while they were filming "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane."
The studio encouraged the feud for publicity because it sold in the gossip columns that were so popular at the time. Hedda Hopper (and her famous hats) are a part of the story.
Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lang (who have star power of their own) play Bette and Joan.
I like it. Also, it is fun to see the clothes, houses, and cars of the era.
