    I'm more proud of this video than the one I did before. This one was more difficult for me to edit, but I like how some parts turns out. I can spot some mistakes and I simply didn't corrected them because, as I said, it was a difficult video to edit and I didn't want to start it from the beggining all over again.

    Jessica didn't mimic Joan, she inhabited the essence of who she was, which is so much better in my opinion. Same for Susan. Jessica made Joan human again, which was desperately needed. She was a deeply flawed person who had a kind and generous side as well.

      Mi Abuelito was a Carpenter for M-G-M and he always spoke of how kind Joan Crawford was to a Mexican man who spoke very little Inglès but ALWAYS made efforts to speak to him in his native language: she was a Magnificent woman who treated people with Love & KINDNESS-no matter their station in life.
      Because of Miss Crawford he was buried in the 1st Motion Picture Workers Cemetery in the early 60’s, when many from other countries were NOT due to prejudice.

    I'm glad they did the side-by-side. Jessica Lange did as good a job as anyone can do, but sometimes there's just no imitating the original. My biggest complaints are that Jessica is 11 years older than Joan was at the time of this video, so she simply looks and sounds older. Also, Joan had a somewhat deeper, more relaxed and demure speaking voice. Jessica played her with a high-pitched, shrill tone throughout most of the series.

      I think Jessica has done a wonderful job of bringing light and shade to Joan. There are moments in the show where that 'tough bitch' persona absolutely shines through ("Fuck you, Marty") and then there are times where she allows Joan's vulnerability take the spotlight. Joan was a complicated woman but she was not a cold hard bitch the entire time, I think Jessica softened her to bring the humanity of her to the audience.

    • @MrMalibupj

      Her designer thought exaggerating her naturally large shoulders would de-emphasize them - creating the illusion of small girl in large clothing.

    I wish the producers of the show had tried to be more authentic in their Joan Crawford appearance. Joan never had her hair black after the early WW2 days. Her hair in the 1950s and 1960s was a blondish red. At this time in her life she was wearing heavy highlights and wore elaborate hairstyles. Joan always wore the finest and best of clothes, hats, purses, and shoes and her accessories were legendary. I personally do not like Jessica Lange's Joan Crawford. The worst thing is her voice is nothing like Joan who had a deep cultured often whispery voice like Jackie Kennedy when she was performing. Joan was a commanding presence and filled a room when she entered. In Jessica's defense, Joan is an almost hard act to follow.

    Joan's mind really amazes me. She wanted to announce the 'Best Director' because she knew that Robert Aldrich (Baby Janes's director who ate Joan's due and put Bette on the film forward compared to Joan. He gave Bette more screen time and shined her) isn't nominated. She read the nominations so happily like reminding everyone that Robert isn't one of them and lef the stage holding hand with that year's director winner. And... Best Actress. "Ms. Cr... Ms. Bancroft said.." I mean, her mind. What an elite way to remind whole world to she deserved that year and what a great way to piss Bette Davis. She manipulated Oscar, Bette and Robert in her smart way. God, I adore this woman.

  • @JasonMovieGuy
    @JasonMovieGuy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Davis came closest to winning her third Oscar for All About Eve (1950), but because she split votes with costar Ann Baxter, she lost to Judy Holliday. It's still considered a huge upset since All About Eve won Best Picture, and certainly wouldn't have been the success it was without Davis's enormous contribution.
    1962 had a very strong list of nominees, but if Bancroft hadn't won the rumor was that Katharine Hepburn had it in the bag - giving what many critics deemed her best performance to date in Long Days Journey into Night. Davis is a hoot in Baby Jane, but the competition was just too stiff. Crawford's acceptance for Bancroft was very malicious indeed.

    I'm enjoying the campy feud. Joan Crawford and Bette Davis were both remarkable. Each of them had amazing careers. And I suspect both were ultimately sad individuals, however fascinating. JC's childhood and background was strait out of Dickens. That she became what she became and sustained as long as she did is a triumph; regardless of how she got there. As far as her acting, she did do good work and wasn't just a movie star. Mildred Pierce, A Woman's Face, Possessed, Sudden Fear, The Women, Humoresque - all strong performances. Studied; driven, pure determination & will drove her skill sets to improve especially in the 40's. Bette, was a very talented stage actress who transitioned to film. A great talent less interested in the being the Star on the surface, yet very much the Star in her real life. Lange is good and Sarandon is good. Neither are perfectly cast but they actually are both delivering restrained performances. Btw, for those of you who think SS has not had work done on her face, I would love to sell you some bonds i have in my drawer. It is obvious both of these actresses have had work done, albeit SSs work is very good. Enjoy the ride everyone; skip the need to compare and contrast in a way that is demeaning. Both JL and SS are brilliant. Both JC and BD were fascinating.

    Lange and Sarandon are doing excellent work. However, this show has caused me to go back and watch interviews from Crawford and Davis. Neither current actress is actually that close to the originals. OK, Sarandon has similar eyes but other than that they are doing their own impressions of Crawford and Davis... that doesn't really look or sound much like them. That said, both deserve Emmys. It is VERY hard to portray an actual person because you open yourself up to this kind of comparison and you can't duplicate them.

Joan and Bette were(and still are)legendary icons, but they were also women fighting for to keep their careers alive. So of course nobody could ever truly look exactly like Bette and Joan, but Jessica and Susan are doing their jobs(as legends in their own right) to pay homage and celebrate Bette and Joan!!!!..

Crawford was 58 in 1962 and Lange here is 67,vocally they were very different, Sarandon who is same level as Lange as actress nailed Davis her way of speaking her vocal tone, even tho she is older too but Davis looked older then she actually was and she was younger than Crawford because she was never obsessed about her looks as Crawford, Dietrich and other screen legends.

      Exactly. Technically, Lange is great.

Faye Dunaway made a better Joan. She not only looked more like her in Mommie Dearest but she had a fierce, take-charge energy that isn't there in Jessica Lange"s portrayal. Being one of Ryan Murphy's favorite actresses is what got her the role of Joan Crawford, I imagine. Well, I still look forward to watching Jessica in her other movies and tv shows.

    This is so cool - thanks for posting. It's striking, because watching the TV show - while I completely adore Jessica Lange and think she is one of the greatest actresses of our time - the fact that she is a few years older than Ms. Crawford was at this period has made me think that her at times somewhat haggard appearance does a certain injustice to Ms. Crawford. But seeing them side by side, she actually looks YOUNGER than Crawford! It is clear that she is 'acting,' while Ms. Crawford is just speaking, but it is a movie (television show) after all, and acting is what she's being paid to do. Brava!

    They must have chosen Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford, to soften her image up a bit, especially since the damning Mommy Dearest film. The thing Faye Dunaway said that finally made her look like Joan Crawford, when all else failed, was she discovered it was the way she held the muscles in her face, very rigid.

    Joan actually has a beautiful speaking voice and she always enunciated perfectly. Her voice was naturally deep and bass. Jessica's voice was higher. I would've liked it if she could've dropped it for the role!! I just find no one can impersonate Joan properly. She's actually quite hard to mimic and even drag queens often come off wrong and too over the top. She actually had quite a subtle and elegant way about her. Perhaps a much better actress than what she was given credit for by Bette Davis. Persona is an interesting and very complex ego and societal construction with myriad layers.
