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.
