FEUD debuts. Yes,Yes,Yes darling. I saw the trailer about a month ago, and have been practically jumping up and down with glee in anticipation. For those of you who are like "What??" Feud is based on the two Screen Legends Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis and their Rivalry through out their Reign in Hollywood. Old Hollywood, you know the Hollywood where you had to have more than a reality tv show, a famous parent and dare I say a breath of talent. *sips Vodka*
Anyhoozle, I managed to snag a ticket to a screening almost two weeks ago at the Landmark Theater and was pleasantly greeted by two impersonators.
"Feud" is not about throwing shade as only two queens of the silver screen can, its about the fight that occurs in order to reign. The theme throughout the hour is that its a constant battle for women in Hollywood. Getting noticed, remaining relevant, growing old in a business that likes to remain young, and the fight for equal pay continues still.
The series  has a powerhouse cast with Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon Alfred Molina, and Stanley Tucci.  Lange as Crawford is a force but not as overpowering as Faye Dunaway's Mommie Dearest. Sarandon, embodies Bette Davis as only she could. I remember catching an image of her in Kevyn Aucoin's make up book where yet again, she is channeling Bette Davis. Its as if she has been waiting in the wings to do a biopic of her since the passing of Ms. Davis in 1989. Ryan Murphy has allowed her to unleash that beast and you can't tear your eyes away from her. The dynamic between the two of them works and layers that each actress brings to the screen makes the hour slip through your fingers. Lange has the incredible ability to be both vulnerable one moment and within a second be as powerful as lion.  In the time we get to see how each woman is dealing with aging, and as result not getting quality chances to continue doing what they trained and loved because as Tucci's Jack Warner states " Who wants to *uck, an old broad?" Crawford, comes up with a project and a bankable idea to make both herself and Davis in good graces again. Enlisting a friend to direct, and adapt the Novel
"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"  a thriller that pits sisters against each other in a house in California.  If you haven't seen it, find it, and rent it. I have two copies myself, and you can ask to borrow one of mine.
I'm looking forward to this season with Joan and Bette and there is going to be some embellishment and hype on their rivalry in order to draw in ratings. Lets face it, its FX and not TCM or the History channel. I'm not watching for facts, I'll be watching for an interpretation of era glamour with a history lesson on how far women have come, and how long we have to go in this industry.
