What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

Description

Director Robert Aldrich's story: A thriller about an aging ex-vaudeville child star who initiates a psychotic reign of terror over her crippled '30s movie-queen sister. His stars: Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. All he needed was the money. But when Alderich scoured Hollywood for backing, he kept hearing, "We wouldn't give you a dime for those two old broads." They were worth millions. Audiences asked 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' in droves – and made this eerie, surprise-laden shocker a deserved smash. It marked both Victor Buono's impressive Oscar®-nominated screen debut as an oily, porcine Tinseltown hanger-on and high points in the careers of its leads. and Davis won her 10th Academy Award® nomination for her acid portrayal of yowling, grotesque Baby Jane. An Oscar® winner for Best Costume Design (1962)
