Feud: Bette And Joan

Ryan Murphy follows up his acclaimed American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson with this Emmy-nominated eight-part series about the legendary rivalry between Hollywood icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

The superb cast sees Jessica Lange as Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Davis with Catherine Zeta-jones as Olivia de Havilland, Kathy Bates as Joan Blondell and Alfred Molina on career-best form as director Robert Aldrich.

Beginning with Davis and Crawford’s collaboration on What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? and continuing long after the cameras stopped rolling, Feud: Bette and Joan explores how the two stars endured ageism, sexism and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers.
