Olivia de Havilland Won't Give Up Her Fight Over 'Feud'.
 

Quote

 

The two-time Oscar-winning actress is refusing to back down in her year-and-a-half-long battle with FX Networks, alleging the 21st Century Fox-owned cable network never obtained her permission and defamed her in the Ryan Murphy-produced limited series.

Despite losing her bids in a California appeals court in March and the state Supreme Court in July, the centenarian star is now petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to consider her case. In what has shaped up to be a battle over 1st Amendment rights, De Havilland is seeking to reverse the appeals court decision so that she can pursue a jury trial.

I watched the first few episodes of Feud: Betty and Joan when it aired but my DVR stopped recording them and I haven't been able to revisit it until it got added to Hulu. Aside from the little inaccuracies, I'm really noticing just how much older all the actresses cast look than their real-life counterparts at the time this is supposed to take place. Sometimes they hide it, but sometimes it's really obvious. Also, yeah, no one looks like who they're supposed to be playing except maybe Sarandon. The script really smacks you over the head with its "commentary."

I finally rented Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte last night, so I just had to rewatch the two Feud episodes involving it today. It was really fun hearing the dialogue and seeing the recreations. And they should totally have listened to Davis about not starting off the film with two men, because I was thinking exactly the same thing when the movie started.

Olivia de Havilland's entrance didn't have all the bits of business that Crawford's did. Was the latter what really happened? If so, then did de Havilland not do it because it was so difficult? Davis was so impressed by Crawford's work there.

I also noticed that the big dinner confrontation between Miriam and Charlotte was shot outdoors with Crawford but moved to the indoors dining room with de Havilland. Again, was that what really happened, Crawford shot it outside in the heat?

Probably not.  I would just guess they took some liberties when recreating scenes from the movie due to time and budget constraints.
