Facts about
Joan Crawford took sick and was hospitalized as filming began so scenes were shot around her, but when it became evident that she would have to be replaced, her role was offered to Katharine Hepburn and Vivien Leigh. Hepburn didn't return the studio's call, while Leigh declined, saying, "No, thank you. I can just about stand looking at Joan Crawford's face at six o'clock in the morning, but not Bette Davis."
On Thursday, July 30, 1964, Bette Davis was scheduled to report to Fox to record dialogue with the other cast members, but the morning of the recording she called Robert Aldrich and begged him to let her have the day off. Davis doubted her capacity to contribute much to the recording because she was so depressed at not knowing when and if the film was ever going to be finished. After speaking with Dick Zanuck, Aldrich excused Bette, and the recording was canceled.
On Friday, July 31, 1964, while resting in her Fox dressing room, Joan Crawford suffered a relapse, and at 7:00 p.m. she was taken, by ambulance, back to Cedars Sinai Hospital where she remained for the next thirty days. During Crawford's second or third week in the hospital, she called her friend, director Vincent Sherman, and asked him to come visit her because she was dying for some company. When Sherman got to her room, she jumped out of bed, locked the door and told him, "I'm not sick. I just couldn't stand working another minute with that Bette Davis."
