In the cult classic “What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?” Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are at the height of their powers, with Davis’ titular Baby Jane landing a spot on the American Film Institute’s list of 50 greatest film villains and scoring Davis her tenth and final Oscar nomination. The alleged behind-the-scenes rivalry between the two stars proved pivotal to the film’s success and has become the stuff of legend.
