Whatever happened to Baby Jane? Eh?
Okay, I've immersed myself in WHTBJ for the last couple of days -- what a great film it is. Yeah, it's slightly shlocky horror, but, my lord, what performances ... Love it to pieces now, but it totally freaked me out as a little kid.
(As an aside, does anyone know the "Whatever Happened to Baby Dawn" parody that French and Saunders did? It's one of their best bits, and they had a lot of very good ones ... I couldn't watch Davis in the real thing without being reminded of French's spot on impersonation)
So, of course, it's all leaking out in the new art I'm doing. Here's a piece ... featuring the young Miss Davis.
And here's one with the young Miss Crawford ... She must have been one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood -- that bone structure is perfection.
Of course, they're both for sale at my Etsy Store (shameless plug) ...

Love it, love you!
I always remember what she said when asked her thoughts on dying:
"I want millions of flowers…I want everyone to weep. Copiously".
The second time I saw the movie, I thought, "how could I ever have thought she was alive at the end of this?"
The third time I thought she might be alive again.
What do you think? Alive or dead.
