Publisher's Summary

They were two of the most talented beauties Hollywood ever produced: the elegant Joan Crawford, a former chorus girl who shot through the ranks at MGM, and the brash, tempestuous Bette Davis, a Broadway star notorious for refusing to bow to the studio bosses. Their work together in the hit film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? sowed the seeds for a mutual hatred that would consume their lives. As each fading star tried to outshine the other, lives were upended and reputations were destroyed. Glamorous, merciless, and cruel, their feud became the stuff of legends.

Based on interviews the author conducted with both actresses and more than a decade of research, Bette & Joan shows the hard-drinking, hard-fighting duo at their best and worst. The epic story of these dueling divas is hilarious, monstrous, and tragic. This updated edition includes two new chapters. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are portrayed by Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange in the Ryan Murphy TV series Feud.

They Loved to Hate Each Other and We Love Them!

If you enjoy the seady side of Old/Classic Hollywood, then read this book.

If you love a story of the original "Boss Babes" who took control of their careers and bodies (as much as they feesibly could in the entertainment industry), then read this book.

If you thrive on a story of love and hate and jealousy and loneliness and how society was never (and still isn't) kind to strong women, then read this book.

If "complicated" is an area of interest to you, you'll LOVE this book!!!
