Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWe're told that Joan Crawford has to sell off her "Billy Haines" furniture. This is actually William Haines a major star at MGM in the 1920s and 30s who later became a major interior designer in Hollywood.
- GoofsIn the scene introducing Victor Buono, he immediately tells Davis that he is a homosexual (something about which the real Buono was extremely discreet - understandably in 1962) and is described by Aldrich as an eminent Broadway actor. In reality, Buono was a 23-year-old actor in his first major part who had appeared in regional theater, but would not make his only Broadway appearance until 1970.
- Quotes
Sylvia the Reporter: Miss Davis, care to comment on the fact that Miss Crawford says you look old enough to be her mother?
Bette Davis: What's your name, sweetheart?
Sylvia the Reporter: Sylvia.
Bette Davis: Fuck off, Sylvia.

Going For the Throat
Feud (2017)
Episode 2: The Other Woman
Jack Warner (Stanley Tucci) convinces director Robert Aldrich (Alfred Molina) that the film could be a major hit if only there was more controversy. This had Aldrich start a gossip war and soon Bette (Susan Sarandon) and Joan (Jessica Lange) are battling to stay one up on the other.
This second episode certainly picks up on the first as this one here gets into the meat of the story, which of course was the various conflicts that were going on during the making of the picture. The first episode pretty much introduced the characters to current viewers who might not have known who they were. That first episode was a nice introduction but this one here really takes off in regards to the gossip trash and behind-the-scenes fighting.
What works so well about this episode is the fact that we get to see Joan and Bette off the set and how both of their lives were already a mess and the various drama going on behind-the-scenes wasn't helping anything. We get some nice bits of information going back to their early days at the studio, which makes for a lot of fun and once again the episode ends on a strong note and makes you exciting for what's to follow.
