Lou Eyrich, “Feud: Bette and Joan” (FX)
“We did costumes that spanned five decades, [the] ’30s to ’70s, but lucky for me, the research was all there. I watched a lot of YouTube videos of Bette [Davis] and Joan [Crawford] interviewed on talk shows to get how they moved and what their characters were like,” Eyrich said. “Joan was always so put together with her jewelry sets and ensembles with matching shoes and hats and bags. And her hair was perfectly coiffed. She wore a lot of shoulder pads, and we played that up in the script. So it became a bit of a story point. She wore corsets and big crazy hats, which Jessica [Lange] didn’t always enjoy wearing. While Bette — [played by Susan Sarandon] — was very grounded, down-to-earth and would wear capri pants and a wrinkled shirt. She had a lot more ease about her and was much more approachable, not the whole Hollywood glam thing. She often wore fresh gardenias. Getting to play with those two different styles was fun. There was a lot of color, and we punched it up another notch, so it could be more interesting to watch. I wanted it to feel like an old Hollywood movie when they first came out in Technicolor and just popped.”
