CATCH A CLASSIC
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) MOVIES!, 4 p.m.
Directed by Robert Aldrich, this darkly humorous and horrific 1962 cult classic is deliciously gothic and campy fun as it follows an aging former child star (Best Actress Oscar nominee Bette Davis) who torments her paraplegic sister (Joan Crawford), a former movie star, in an old Hollywood mansion. The success of the film opened up doors for these and other actors to star in subsequent similar types of psychological thrillers led by older women. Among its other Oscar nominations were for Ernest Haller’s terrific black-and-white cinematography and for co-star Victor Buono as Best Supporting Actor.
