Facts about
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."
The entire company was put up at the Belmont Motel (a mile outside Baton Rouge) and when Joan Crawford arrived at the the motel, her rooms had not been made up. She then had to sit for an hour in the motel's lobby and when she was finally put into a bungalow, it was next to the garbage disposal unit. That evening, when the company returned from filming, Joan complained to Bette Davis, "Oh, Joan. Pull yourself together. This is Baton Rouge, not Beverly Hills." Davis's bungalow was across Crawford's and was slightly larger and more luxurious.
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."
