I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon)...A quest to remain relevant in an era that has refused to 'acknowledge' old women in Hollywood.The pain behind the fame as well as the battles fought to remain relevant. How Crawford schemed to collect the Oscar statue for another actress even though she herself wasn't nominated for the Oscars.How she (Crawford) refused to take care of her dental health because of the film industry. Also, how she deliberately put filming on hold because she wanted to feel important - an act she ended up parting with her hard earned $100 000.Feud reminds us of pain and indeed as the saying goes: "never meet your heroes".Ryan Murphy did a great job. However, I'm not happy that we won't get to see the Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorce on screen.Fingers crossed...

The superb acting by these screen legends bringing to life actresses of a bygone era was the life force of this show. I have always been fascinated by these actresses early and mid 20th Century and hope that more such shows about them. Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon knocked it out of the ball park!

The acting is superb. Susan Sarandon - perennially youthful acts and talks like Bette Davis. Jessica Lange is just as convincing as Joan Crawford. Ryan Murphy has really taken a fascinating subject and created a pretty long series that isn't boring for a second. Good support from Alfred Molina as the director, Stanley Tucci as Jack Warner, Judy Davis as Hedda Hopper and Kiernan Shipka of Mad Men as Bette's daughter. Who knew the behind the scenes of making a movie could be so interesting. Looked forward to every episode.Advice to viewers watch "Baby Jane" again if you can't remember it.The only fault is didn't like Catherine Zeta Jones at Olivia de Havilland. For anybody who has seen Olivia in "Gone with the Wind" and "Light in the Piazza" or any of her movies knows that isn't the way she talks. Her looks were wrong too lacking that sweetness that Olivia has. Recently Olivia has come out suing the makers of the series for fabricating the interviews she gave and putting gossipy and bitchy statements in her mouth in this show. Looking back it did strike me as out of character for her to talk in such a matter. This is the only fault of this otherwise very good miniseries.

I thought this show was excellent. Everything was so well done - directing, costumes, the actresses (of course)but most of the story. This left me thinking about what Hollywood was like at this time and how it may be now. I really felt for the characters, mostly Joan Crawford. The scene from the last episode in Joan's apartment having a candle light dinner party was really a work of art. Great show!!!
