- Jackie Hoffman ('Feud: Bette and Joan') chats her 'top secret' audition to play Mamacita opposite Joan Crawford with Gold Derby editor Chris Beachum. "When I read it, it was top secret and I didn't know what I was reading for. I was told I was reading for a German woman named Ilsa and I was working for a woman named Miss Rexford," reveals Jackie Hoffman about her standout role in the recent FX limited series "Feud: Bette and Joan." It turned out she was actually auditioning for Mamacita, the right-hand woman to legendary actress Joan Crawford. As the program begins, aging screen legend Crawford (Jessica Lange) needs a comeback desperately. She enlists her trusted housekeeper Mamacita to find a book for her that can be adapted into a screenplay. They bring director Robert Aldrich (Alfred Molina) on board for "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?," get Warner Bros. as the production company, and are forced to ask Crawford's arch rival Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) to be the co-lead.

Ms.Hoffman was a scene stealer! my favorite characters in this great series!
Jackie was wonderful as Mamacita! For me she was the Pepper of Feud, if that makes sense!
couldn't agree more, she was fantastic
Bearing in mind that Pepper was the greatest character on AHS ever - yes, I do agree wth you.
lalagonegaga Yes! I love Pepper! I wish Ryan Murphy had Naomi Grossman in every season of AHS as a new character!
Deva7 pepper was a smart cookie and a person with real heart. She was handicapped by her condition, thanks for being PC, by the way. Pepper was kind of Jessica Langes sidekick and was a favorite character. Obviously Mamacita is not like Pepper, but I loved Mamacita and she was kind of the unsung hero/underdog of Feud. The person playing Pepper and Jackie Hoffman are both super talented and they made big impressions.
Yes, but still very different characters. Pepper only became 'smart' after aliens did something to her. She originally was a pinhead with mind of a child. I loved her Circus backstory though, very moving.
i love character actors and Jackie Hoffman is always a standout in everything I've seen her in .
Thank-you for posting this. Jackie was wonderful as Mamacita; really stoic and proud.
I recorded all the episodes. Jackie was right about Ryan and all the crew-that they were all at the top of their game, so to speak.
And what an expressive mouth Jackie has.

Mamacita: *_"she's small but she's quick!"_*
Jackie gave an outstanding supporting performance, she basically made some of the best scenes of Feud. Her timing was perfect, and there was so much emotion despite the usually deadpan expression of the character. Amazing work, Jackie!
"More sand-vitch?" Loved it!
Ms. Hoffman was fantastic in this role. Hysterical and a scene stealer. My favorite character!
Just been streaming Feud, I'd forgotten how great the series is and Hoffman as Mamacita is excellent!
"cocktail time" favorite line
Stole every scene she was in; couldn't take my eyes off her. Great actress!
Awesome talent, so many supporting roles are swept under, glad to see she got the recognition she deserved...
Amo a Mamacita!!!
Yo tambien!
This woman is comedic genius! I’ve seen her in Xanadu and I think an episode of 30 Rock as a whacko DMV worker. I’m a loyal fan for this woman now. I love her.
i really loved the series. i had read the book, bettie and joan, the feud. so, i knew how far the series was going to go. i would love it if they could create a fictional show about joan and bettie..... perhaps based on things based on other stories about them. that may have not been fully explored
Love it! You were great in it!
Hope she gets the Emmy!
Jackie is one of the most authentic, side-splittingly funny people in the business
What a wonderful part in a fantastic must-watch series. Mamacita was a scene stealer. I couldn't take my eyes off of any scene Jackie was in. I hope the Academy recognizes this stellar series, and Jackie's performance in particular. (PS - Jackie has a little Hoda Kotbe going on in this interview.) :)
Jackie was great! IS great!
You did an incredible job. Thank you for your talent.
Wow, she is such a great actress!
Love Jackie! Would love to meet her.
Oh hunni that was terrific!
LOVE HER.
Emmy nomination comin' right up!
great interview and chemistry with her, btw
mAMAH-ceee-TAh!!!
She's hilarious!
I honestly really really loved Mamacita in Feud. I had to watch a few of her scenes over again and again several times because they were just GOLD... I liked Carol Ann in Mommie Dearest (Rutanya Alda did a great job) but Mamacita put her to shame!
Bryan Murphy is FX's Steven Spielberg. Serious Multi-tasker.
does anyone know if FEUD BETTTE and JOAN will be re-broadcast this summer? I would like to see it again.
bduhe219 I don’t know if they will rebroadcast them, but they’re for sale on Amazon Prime. I love it because it’s just a great quality throughout.
Jackie should've at least had a winners' tie at the Emmys if not full out won.
is she wearing the same glasses as in character?
if u ever get a chance to see her in a play
DO IT
