‘Feud’ Title Sequence: How Ryan Murphy Will Intro the Crawford-Davis Rivalry (Video)
The beautifully illustrated sequence mixes references to the lives of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis with scenes from “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?,” the film in which they co-starred.
There’s also an image of the Crawford and Davis being manipulated like puppets by a faceless man in a suit, hinting at how the two women were pitted against one another for awards and publicity.
The A-list cast also includes Alfred Molina as the “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as studio titan Jack Warner, Judy Davis as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, Jackie Hoffman as Crawford’s housekeeper Mamacita, and Alison Wright as Aldrich’s assistant Pauline.
