A rivalry for the ages and one of the most famous celebrity feuds of all time comes to life in Bette & Joan in Park90 this Christmas. Emmy award winner and BAFTA nominated actress Greta Scacchi revives her role as the iconic Bette Davis, while RSC and National Theatre actress Felicity Dean plays the legendary Joan Crawford in this bittersweet comedy that follows the two Oscar winning actresses as they lock horns during the making of the classic What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Full of wise cracks and one liners, two cinema greats let rip about their lives, loves and careers.
In 1962, a relatively low-budget psychological thriller was released starring two well-known actresses who needed a career boost. The movie, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, was critically acclaimed becoming an enormous hit at the box office and is still considered a cult classic. Despite this success, it wasn’t the most relaxed of shoots. The well-known rivalry between these two iconic actresses spilled over onto the set and each day was filled with problems exacerbated by their dislike of each other.
Producer Clive Brill said: “This is Brill Productions fourth visit to Park, having previously produced the highly successful Abigail’s Party and Corpse! here. I am thrilled to be working with this wonderfully talented team of creatives.”
