WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN?: BONUS EPISODE 3: PRODUCED BY BETTE & JOAN
“Must you always let that sister of yours get ahead of you?”
Welcome to the third bonus episode of What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, our ongoing journey of the later careers of Bette Davis & Joan Crawford. Although our travels through Bette & Joan’s post-Baby Jane years may have come to an end, our time with these leading ladies has not. This holiday season, we’ll be going back and exploring classic Bette & Joan through a variety of titles from the 40s and 50s tied together by a common theme. On this week’s episode, we’ll be exploring Bette & Joan as producers by looking at two films that they each had a hand in bringing to the screen, including 1957’s The Story of Esther Costello, starring Joan Crawford, and 1946’s A Stolen Life, starring Bette Davis. Gordon McNulty, host of The Lone Acting Nominees and co-host of Televised: The TV Movie Story, joins me to look at the mogul sides of Bette & Joan and the results that ended up on the screen.

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.
