SUMMARY:Special Screening: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Special Screening: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441653962=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-10-31=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-10-31=0D=0A=0D=0ACelebrate Halloween with a rare 35mm screening of this endlessly quotable classic on the 50th anniversary of its original release date!=0D=0A=Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) was a vaudevillian child star, but as an adult, her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) became the successful actress in the family as Jane's career flopped. Presently, both are retired and living together in a decaying Hollywood mansion. Crippled following an accident, Blanche spends most of the time watching her old movies on television while Jane remains in a grotesque state of arrested development, acting like a bratty spoiled child as she dementedly berates and spews jealousy towards her shut-in sister.=0D=0A=Equal parts suspenseful psychodrama, gothic horror and campy black comedy, the film was a surprise hit, reviving Davis' and Crawford's moribund careers. The two veteran divas apparently hated each other and fought incessantly during the filming, and you can sense every shred of that animosity between them in their gloriously catty performances.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7 PM
