WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN – EP 10 – SPECIAL GUEST STARS
“You don’t trust women very much, do you?”
Welcome to another episode of What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, our ongoing journey through late-era Bette Davis & Joan Crawford. As we near the end of our exploration, I thought we’d pay tribute to the collection of guest appearances the two actresses made in their post-Baby Jane years. When good screen roles eluded them in the 60s and 70s, the ever-changing medium of television welcomed them with open arms. This gave Bette & Joan the ability to appear in some of the most popular shows of the era, including Perry Mason and The Virginian. These opportunities also allowed the two stars to take on a variety of characters, including businesswomen, vengeful widows, and even a jewel thief. Author of What Ever Happened to Mommie Dearest? and Wicked Becomes Her, John William Law, joins me as we take a look at Bette & Joan on the tube.

YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
