It's fantastic fun, I'm loving every minute of it. The most memorable line from ep 1 has to be 'They should feel privileged to prune Miss Crawford's bush!'. How Jackie Hoffman kept a straight face delivering that...

I am really enjoying this.
Hugely camp, but completely brilliant.

How Jackie Hoffman kept a straight face delivering that... Yes, that one got me too - I thought the show was going to have a bit more levity than this. It is bordering on the silly a little, which is fine but cheapens it a bit to my mind. (I'm not into trashy telly) |

I'm loving it. It's like someone watched 'Mommie Dearest' and thought "nah, not camp enough".
I can't say that it's the best performances from Susan Sarandon or Jessica Lange but you can imagine they must have had a ball making it.

Feud Season 2 will be about Charles and Diana.
Gosh, who to cast?
Looking at the Murphy stable, I think Joseph Fiennes or Neil Patrick Harris as Charles, Lily Rabe or Diana Agron (she's a dead ringer, but can she act?) as Diana, Frances Conroy as the Queen and Gwyneth Paltrow as Camilla Parker Bowles.

I'm slightly less excited about Feud II but more into Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story about Gianni Versaci. Penelope Cruz is Donatella. Bring on the camp!

I love Olivia. At 101, I don't think I could be bothered to make the effort. She's a queen.

She looks fabulous in that pic doesn't she?
I suppose the argument for sueing isn't about personal gain, but to stop people like Murphy taking liberties in the future.

Greatly enjoyed episodes 1 and 2, just shown back to back on BBC2. Anyone for a Pepsi?
One thing that struck me is that seeing all those Hollywood women smoking looks totally natural and does not jar, as it often does when seen in other contexts.
It is reported that Olivia de Havilland's lawsuit is being fast tracked. It's great that she's bothering...good luck Olivia!

Watched episode 1. I liked it a lot, but didn't love it (yet?) as much as I'd hoped I would, though it's nicely set up for ep. 2 which I am looking forward to.
Lordy, but Catherine ZJ is some crappy actress.
Jessica Lange's strange stretched mouth kept side-tracking me. I'm not yet convinced with her Joan, but feel I could be soon. Amazing how, try as I might, I cannot see anything of Frances or Julie from Tootsie. (I think that's probably a compliment!)
But hell's bells Susan Sarandon! What a tour de force! She IS Bette Davis. The eyes of course, but the voice from the moment she began to speak was uncanny. Then there was that stance, followed by the loping walk away from camera when she first appeared to everyone as Baby Jane Hudson. Absolutely brilliant.
Did people really stand off stage holding a drink and a lit cigarette ready for stars when they came off stage in Hollywood? Really?

Jessica Lange is 'representing' Joan Crawford quite effectively, but Susan Sarandon indeed really IS Bette Davis. Every detail is frighteningly accurate. Wow! |

^"On the eve of her 101st birthday...." Um....how long do lawsuits take? I bet she is immortal. It is making a point that she is still around and knows what really went down in old Hollywood. Kirk Douglas is another a lot of people are desperate to see pass because you can't libel the dead. |

desperate to see pass because you can't libel the dead. You're obsessed with people dying!!! (Don't worry, I've got undertaking in my genes, so don't have the slightest problem with death.) |

Ha! It is that morbid time of year where all the celeb deaths start coming through because the temperature drops, then rises so bugs and illnesses spread. I haven't had my winter cold yet so I might be next. I've conceded Kirk will outlive me, maybe pushing me out the way to get to his interval booze along with all the other elderly theatre people I have wronged  I also read too many gossip sites about Old Hollywood... |

I've now watched 3 episodes. I love the sets and costumes so much, especially Hedda's hats. I want a Mamacita of my own for Christmas please, somebody?.
Oh, and when I grow up I want to be Hedda Hopper.
