This new anthology miniseries from Ryan Murphy begins with Bette and Joan, a dramatization of the making of the 1962 low-budget horror film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It’s a skillfully shaped, artfully recreated story, which finds a way to say still-pertinent things about Hollywood and women, while reveling in the last gasp of the good old days of Hollywood. In the title roles, Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange are a delight as, respectively, Davis and Crawford – and the supporting cast is full of wonderful surprises, too, including Alison Wright of The Americans as Pauline (pictured) and Kiernan Shipka, the daughter on Mad Men, as Bette Davis’ daughter.
