Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell (and now pretty much everyone). Hollywood feuds have been around for decades; certainly as long as there's been an actual Tinseltown, at any rate. So it was only a matter of time before someone capitalized on the subject matter.
Ryan Murphy's latest anthology series, FX's Feud, tackles the infamous decadeslong rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis before, during and after the filming of their 1962 film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. The eight-episode drama stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon in the respective roles of Crawford and Davis. The star-studded cast also includes Alfred Molina as Robert Aldrich, Judy Davis as Hedda Hopper, Stanley Tucci as Jack Warner, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Olivia de Havilland as well as longtime Murphy collaborators Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson as Joan Blondell and Geraldine Page, respectively, while Mad Men grad Kiernan Shipka plays Davis' daughter B.D. Hyman.
With Feud's premiere a month away (March 5, to be exact), THR offers a crash-course timeline of the important events surrounding Crawford and Davis' iconic feud.
