      I'd love to see another season! There's so many infamous Hollywood feuds they could cover, especially since Catherine Zeta-Jones, playing Olivia De Havilland, lightly mentions the real life feud between De Havilland and her own sister, actress Joan Fontaine

    Susan portrayed Bette with so much passion, and genuine emotion; I'm sure Bette would've been impressed and very moved. Susan has the most beautiful eyes, that intensity Bette also had, the so called 'Bette Davis Eyes' - she's got it. Susan and Jessica were absolutely mesmerizing and I would give everything to see them work together again. I love you, Susan!

    Susan Sarandon does Bette Davis BRILLIANTLY- I've been a Bette fan forever got 100 movies of her read dozens of book - Trust me , with the help of Ryan- Susan is a knock-out portraying BETTE DAVIS.. BETTE would be very happy..And remember- Bette was a perfectionist!!! Loved the FUED 100% accurate. Xxx

    The very fact a 50 something Bette Davis was played by a 70 something Susan Sarandon is a sign that women have managed to push back against the sidelining of older women in Hollywood to some degree. It's not perfect but it's something to be noted. Hopefully times continue to change for the better and older actresses also get good juicy roles to sharpen their craft on throughout their professional lives.

    As for the age thing - when Bette Davis was a pretty little young thing just starting out, the #1 actress was Marie Dressler.
    Marie was a large, older woman. She was not pretty, even when she was young. But she could win you over. And I can say that to see her in "Dinner At Eight" or "Min and Bill" is to love her.
    Somewhere between the Pre-Code era and the 60's, things went horribly wrong.
    We watch movies to see stories. Stories involve all kinds of people. "Dinner At Eight" is a movie I can watch endlessly because of this.
    Pay heed, Hollywood.

      @@ScubaSteve3560 I'm not going to blame Marilyn. There's been young bombshells since the beginning and they add to the story too. Again, look at "Dinner At Eight" - the other great character in that one was Jean Harlow's Kitty Packard.

      Lucille and Vivian never had a feud. Like all actors they had some differences, but at the end of the day they were over it quickly. The only thing that was an ongoing problem was Vivian being forced to look like a frump. Halfway through the series Vivian said if she wasn't allowed to look more attractive she was going to walk. Yes, she and Frawley hated each other. The only time they became a united front was when they demanded more money after the second year.

    Susan Sarandon Is such a great actress I remember her in great movies in the 90s like dead man walking and the client, unless I remember correctly she always work I remember her being in a soap opera when I was about 6 called A Worlds Apart, I don't think a lot of people watched it because it was only on a year but when I went back to old TV listings when I was in college on microfiche there was a soap opera called A world apart and she was on it it everyday from 12:30 to 1 Eastern Standard time it was only on for a year so It must not have had that many viewers it was against search for tomorrow, which was the ratings Powerhouse in the early 70s but like everything else viewers habits change, S F T died 4 lack of a better word a horrible death just my bad attempt at humor in 1986 I think at that point it was on the air with their ratings hovering around 2.6 to 3.4 where In 1986 General hospital and the young and the restless fluctuated in the top spot with their rating in the 9,s Back Then daytime TV was Big Business there was no internet their was no video , it was a couple movies you can buy if you wanted off your cable box most people didn't watch movies till night time when you would pick up videos at the mom-and-pop video store the Blockbuster on their way home they had go through the trouble returning them and late fees, Susan Sarandon is an incredible feminist who lived for years with an actor named Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon was always A Champion of women's rights great job in this Ryan Murphy production and so it is, Jessica Lange, Jessica Lange showed The Human Side of Joan Crawford we all make mistakes in life sometimes I think in the case of Joan Crawford's first adopted Christina and Christopher she was under a lot of pressure from MGM metro-goldwyn-mayer mr. Mayor had a tendency to treat his stars like property and then as soon as they start having a few failures,especially women, he dropped them like a hot potato what he did to Judy Garland was criminal , I think by the time she got the twins her movie career was dwindling and she was ready for retirement she had stopped boozing alcohol can make you really mean and make you abused your children they may just say BOO, and you'll start hitting them and then some people get Happy, when drunk, thanks for reading my comments they were written by Paul jr.

    I thought she was too pretty as Bette Davis and Lange not beautiful enough as Crawford. You don't see the contrast there when Sarandon as Davis is asking Lange as Crawford what it was like to be so beautiful? When you see the promo at the end with Davis and Crawford together you really see the contrast of Crawford's beauty (even as an older woman) and Davis' distinctive looks (not like Sarandon's attractive, distinctive looks). Lange is attractive too, but she doesn't have Crawford's beauty.

      I thought Jessica brought her talents to the role as best she could without it being a caricature, stressing Crawford's haughty uppity demeanor excellently whereas Susan brought Davis' earthiness brilliantly. In fact I think Sarandon should've been nominated as well though only Lange received a nomination---did she win?

      I never thought of Joan Crawford as beautiful. Attractive, yes, but not beautiful. Those eyebrows were kind of scary, especially as she got older. I thought Bette was the prettier of the two. Both great talents.

      @@violetriley4005 I generally agree with you, Violet, as regards Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. In fact, Joan Crawford sometimes evoked a rather mannish demeanor, with those pronounced, dark eyebrows, those pre-"Princess Leia" hair buns of the 1940s, the frequent wearing of high shoulder pads, and a somewhat masculine gait to her strutting. But Bette Davis, especially in her prime,. was the more feminine of the two actresses, with those piercing eyes and that very precise, almost New England schoolmarm manner of speech, even if she could also be aggressive and strong-willed in her own right.
      And Faye Dunaway's will always be the definitive portrayal of Joan Crawford anyway, even if she doesn't like to discuss the film "Mommie Dearest," which is a bit campy and over-the-top (unless one believes Christina Crawford's book as absolute gospel), granted, but in which Dunaway also positively channeled Crawford for her impression of the legendary Hollywood actress. And the makeup artist for "Mommie Dearest" also did an excellent job in giving Dunaway those "scary eyebrows" to which you referred, which, along with Dunaway's naturally high cheekbones, conveyed the very essence of a Crawfordesque performance.
      I think Susan Sarandon did about as commendable a job in portraying Bette Davis in "Feud" as any contemporary actress could have done. Besides, Meryl Streep should not get all the good roles. Perhaps someday another actress, even possibly an unknown, will portray Davis for the big screen in a biopic devoted exclusively to Miss Bette's life and career. I don't know as I'd wish for a screen treatment of "My Mother's Keeper," though, the tell-all tome written by Davis' eldest and only biological offspring, B.D. Hyman, born Barbara Davis Sherry, who is now a fire-and-brimstone Christian preacher.
      Jessica Lange, based upon the few times I had seen her acting--the first being a very delicate beauty in the comedy "Tootsie," as country-western singer Patsy Cline in the biopic "Sweet Dreams," and later in her Oscar-winning performance as the mentally disturbed wife of a career Army officer in "Blue Sky," was about the last actress I would have fathomed to portray Joan Crawford. Buy after one hour of watching Lange as Crawford she had me convinced, not of Crawford's more aggressive and calculated sides (although they were included in "Feud" too), but especially her more sensitive and laid-back, even humorous and vulnerable sides we didn't usually have the opportunity to see. To have delivered another "Mommie Dearest," but less convincingly so, would have been the wrong way to go with the portrayal anyway. So Lange and the "Feud" directors (chiefly creator Ryan Murphy among them) wisely chose a different route for the more nuanced Crawford portrayal.
      And after one evening watching, I became hooked on "Feud." I hope the FX series wlil return with future miniseries episodes about the legendary feuds in history. How about a "Feud" about Lady Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor and Sir Winston Churchill? Or perhaps the real-life sororitorial feuds between actresses Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine or between socialites the former First Lady of the United States Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and Princes Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield Radziwill Ross? Maybe Judy Davis could even reprise her role as "Hedda Hopper" (from the first "Feud" miniseries) in a separate "Feud" about the battling between Hollywood gossip columnists Louella Parsons and Miss Hopper. For sure there is still plenty of grist for the mill where celebrity disharmony is concerned.

      @@tinasmith9273 Not "corn rolls,"' but "cornrows." "Corn rolls" are either small baked items made with cornflower or deposits of fat resembling corn-on-the-cob, which obese people sometimes have on the backs of their necks. Do your own "research," Tina Smith.
      As for "mxylpx" having called the interviewer's hairstyle (in the video uploaded here) "cornrows," that is a common mistake many people would make, but also doesn't make a person an "idiot" for having incorrectly called the hairstyle such.
      The female interviewer here does appear to have dreadlocks (unless they are very well-concealed attachments/hair extensions made to appear as "dreads"), which are the naturally-occurring process of hair matting and intertwining, while cornrows are professionally braided by a stylist and appear neater and are twisted tighter, almost like multiple strands of miniature pigtails.
      An example of "cornrows" is the hairstyle actress Bo Derek wore in the film "10." Singer Justin Timberlake also briefly wore his hair in cornrows. But the hairstyle worn by Rastafarian reggae musicians such as the late Bob Marley and Peter Tosh were dreadlocks (or "dreads" for short).

    Loved the interview, love Susan , but i can't stand the hair of the interviewer .
    I once had to share a plane with a lady who had a hairdo like this , except much longer , and when she moved i would get the hair on my. That was in summer and i was wearing a sleeveless tshirt and i would her hair on my arm, my hand and after just a few minutes my skin started itching . And we are talking London Sydney flight . over 15 hours of itching , by the time we landed i had a rash on my arm and hand . But that is not the worst. During the flight when she came back from the toilets , she sat and the tip of one of her locks landed in my plate . I told her so and she just said " I am sorry , but don't worry they're clean" and she wiped the tip of her lock with a paper napkin and for her that was clean enough . I was horrified, how could she consider her hair being clean , if for her cleanliness meant wiped tomato sauce with a paper napkin .
    I was young that day, probably 17 years old and i didn't know better than to just deal with it .
    15 years later , the same story happened again, in a train this time , except that time i was older and less intimidated by people . The second the woman sat next to me i said Hi gave her a nice smile and then told her to get some string or a scarf to keep her hair together and away from me . She hought it was some racial comment and started a scene, which i ended up by saying, this is not a matter of race this is a matter of hygiene . You have low standards i have very high ones . Your hair can't be thoroughly cleaned and it doesn't seem to bother you, but it bothers me . You have dandruff and it doesn't seem to bother you, but it bothers me , A LOT, you cover your hair and your scalp with some sort of buttery cream which smells like vanilla, coconut, argan and olive oil and it doesn't seem to bother you, i find it nauseating and the idea of standing next to you for hours i already very annoying . So all i am asking is that you keep your hair together and under some scarf to avoid your dandruff landing in my drink or plate and the smell spoiling my journey and appetite . I would tell you exactly the same thing if you were white, asian or whatever other colour.
    She was still offended . I couldn't care less and told her , fine do whatever your want but if your hair gets in my face or on my skin or in my food , I have a very good pair of shears in my bag and i won't hesitate .
    I am all about cultural diversity and i am completely against the idea of a set universal style , but hygiene is another thing and people can say what they want, this hair do is NOT hygienic .
    I am a veterinarian and i once had a student who came to do his internship at our clinic , i told him that he would have to wear a hairnet from the moment he arrives until the moment he leaves and wouldn't be allowed in during surgeries . He told me the hair was clean and that i was ignorantbut that he agreed. On the first day i counted up to 47, the number of times he itched his hair , while the Japanese student i also accepted for internship, never touched his even once . 53 times the next day and 43 times the day after . When i told him, he said i was a racist and told me he could find another place for internship. I followed his career and found out he was working with a colleague of mine so o paid him a visit , and here was my former intern , with shaved hair . My colleague told him that if he wanted the job , he was going to have to shave it , and my colleague is black . So i told the former intern, "from me that was racist, but from another black guy that was acceptable ?" . He laughed, i didn't .
