0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains strong language

0:00:07 > 0:00:10They say places you knew as a child

0:00:10 > 0:00:12seem smaller when you see them again.

0:00:15 > 0:00:16It's not true.

0:00:18 > 0:00:19It's just as I left it.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Keep the change.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Cut! - BELL RINGS

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Beautiful.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Joan Crawford, our one-take wonder.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57- OK, next set up.- Wait, Bob, don't you want me to try it again?

0:00:57 > 0:00:58No need, Joanie. You nailed it.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Are you sure?- Absolutely.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Well done.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06HE WHISPERS

0:01:06 > 0:01:07THEY GIGGLE

0:01:09 > 0:01:13There's nothing as exciting as the first day on a set, is there?

0:01:13 > 0:01:14It's my fifth day, but sure.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17THEY CONTINUE TO GIGGLE

0:01:20 > 0:01:22They're like bunny rabbits.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's past midnight. They've been at it since we got home from dinner.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26LOUD MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Miss Joan, you have an early call tomorrow. You must rest.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, how can I sleep when my director and co-star

0:01:32 > 0:01:36are engaged in some tawdry bacchanal 30 feet away?

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Have a nightcap.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I told you, Mamacita, I am not drinking on this production.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I need a clear head.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43I could sing a lullaby.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47I'll call the front desk.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Go to sleep, Mamacita.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52I don't care what they do in private,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54but staying up partying like teenagers

0:01:54 > 0:01:57can only detract from the quality of their work

0:01:57 > 0:01:59and, by extension, mine.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00And that I cannot abide.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02No, no, no, no.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06I'll simply go over there and politely ask them

0:02:06 > 0:02:09to consider the labours that lie ahead and encourage them to make

0:02:09 > 0:02:11more responsible choices.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Should I wait up?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Oh! Oh, my, my, Bette!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- BETTE IMITATES JOAN: - And keep the change.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh!

0:02:38 > 0:02:39THEY LAUGH

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Oh, damn it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Give it up, Bette. You're never going to be able to do it.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I don't know how she managed to do all that business

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- in one take. - Oh, my goodness.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57If I didn't know better, I'd think you admire her.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, why shouldn't she? It's no accident

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Joan's been a star since the silents.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- She's an artist. - Between the sheets.- Oh!

0:03:03 > 0:03:04My, my, Bette.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I thought your rivalry was put on for the press.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I don't know what you're talking about. What rivalry?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I got to hand it to you, Bette. After all you've been through,

0:03:12 > 0:03:14giving Joan the Oscar bait this go-around?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16It's mighty white of you.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18The picture is called Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- There you go.- I play Charlotte.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, well, then, let me congratulate you

0:03:22 > 0:03:25on your divine work in All About Margo Channing.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Joan's playing the villain,

0:03:27 > 0:03:29and villains always have the meatier roles.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31She's the mastermind.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- That's true. - You guys, stop teasing her now.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Nobody's teasing anyone.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Agnes, shouldn't you be giving me your...

0:03:37 > 0:03:39VOICES FADE AWAY UNDER MUSIC

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I hope you had a good breakfast.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09I do wish you'd give me a crack at those brows, Joan.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12The brows are mine and the mouth.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's get started on the lashes.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20No.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25No.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Yes.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39I'll just take...

0:05:45 > 0:05:47"Why wouldn't I tell him that his...

0:05:48 > 0:05:50"..his pure, darling little girl

0:05:50 > 0:05:53"was having a dirty little affair with a married man?"

0:05:53 > 0:05:56"You're a vile, sorry little bitch."

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Freshen me up, Mamacita.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, God bless your heart.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Here's Cousin Miriam all dolled up from tip-top to her toenails.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Welcome.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Well, I wanted to make sure that my look would survive the humidity.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I didn't realise you were in this scene, Bette.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm not.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Often at night, she sits up, dressed...

0:06:24 > 0:06:26..as if she was still young, expecting a beau.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I seem to remember once expecting something like that myself.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36You going to be all right here?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I could stay over.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41You've been content to let me get by on my own all these years.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Another night won't kill me.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- BETTE WHISPERS:- You're not going to let her do it that way, are you?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Cut. - BELL RINGS

0:06:47 > 0:06:48- What? What happened? - Nothing, nothing.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50We're going to go again straightaway, Joanie.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53You don't even need this scene. I mean, it seems like

0:06:53 > 0:06:54it might not be necessary.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56You have something to say about my performance?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Then say it to me! - All right.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00This scene isn't really necessary,

0:07:00 > 0:07:03and you're telegraphing that Miriam is up to no good

0:07:03 > 0:07:05when the audience, at this point, has to think she's a saint.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07This is my performance.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I have worked very hard on this.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Joan, can we just shoot the scene?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Let's worry about cutting and changing later on.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Can you do it this time as if butter wouldn't melt in your mouth?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Good idea.- OK. Reset.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26I need to process your note, Bob, in my trailer.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36What the hell is she doing on this set during my scene?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Running off at the mouth about my performance?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41And you, you just sitting there like a wet dog!

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Where the hell are your balls?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Bette can say whatever she wants. She's a producer.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49What?!

0:07:49 > 0:07:51I made her associate producer. It was the only way

0:07:51 > 0:07:53to get her to sign on. She was holding the picture hostage.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55No, I don't want that! Goddamn it!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Go on, Mamacita. Leave us alone.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59You made her a producer?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Joanie, the title's meaningless.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Bette just needs to feel she has authority.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I have been working day and night to prepare for this role.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Nothing's changed. You're still going to be great.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10You have no idea how much harder

0:08:10 > 0:08:14I have to work to be taken seriously as an actress.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18I didn't get my start in the theatre, like Miss Bette Davis.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21I broke in shaking my fringe in nightclubs.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24I'd come home after a gig with scotch on my dress,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27and I'll always have that stain on me

0:08:27 > 0:08:31and I'll always have to prove them wrong, and I can't...

0:08:31 > 0:08:34do it on Charlotte, because she won't let me!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Joanie, you have to let go of that anger to her.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- You can't give her the fight. - I am not angry with her!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm angry with you.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44God, I must have been such a fool,

0:08:44 > 0:08:47thinking that you were paying me this great tribute

0:08:47 > 0:08:49by promising me top billing.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52And all the while, behind my back, you were promising her

0:08:52 > 0:08:55exactly what she deserved - producer.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Well, Bob...

0:08:59 > 0:09:01..do you think I deserve it, too?

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Joanie, don't put me on the spot.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08You know what I'm going to enjoy?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14I'm going to enjoy watching you learn

0:09:14 > 0:09:18just how meaningless Bette thinks this title is.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Where's Joan?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, she's out catching groundhogs to replenish her wig supply.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37You have to catch them in the dead of night.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Why do you keep saying that? It's not nice.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's hard for a woman, losing her hair.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- HE STUTTERS:- Her femin-in...

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Femin-in-inity.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- You should be nice. - It's a joke, Victor!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Oh, my God. Stop drinking. It's making you soft.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Oh, you should have seen how the most beautiful woman that ever lived

0:09:59 > 0:10:01treated me back in the day.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03And I remember thinking then...

0:10:04 > 0:10:06"..Beauty fades. Just wait."

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- And it did.- Well, I remember seeing her in Humoresque,

0:10:11 > 0:10:15shunned by John Garfield, marching into the ocean,

0:10:15 > 0:10:17every hair in place.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Beauty, dignity and death, all in one exquisite pose.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27She marched into the sea to her death...

0:10:28 > 0:10:29..and never got her hair wet.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Well...

0:10:36 > 0:10:37..it meant a lot to me.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Turndown service, Miss Davis?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I wish I had known for a single day

0:10:49 > 0:10:52what it feels like to walk into a room

0:10:52 > 0:10:56and knock them out without a single word.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Bette, you don't even know yourself.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59You've been too long in this business.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, you have no idea what it's like to be a woman in this business,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05with the constant scrutiny and competition.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Ah, do we have to go through this melodrama right now?

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Fuck you, Bob.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10All right, tell me. Then tell me.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13No. You tell me, Mr Director Man.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Have you ever been rebuffed by a woman because of how you look?

0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'm betting no.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm guessing that your success was enough,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22that they fucked you despite your beer gut

0:11:22 > 0:11:25and your middle-age sag. Am I right?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27I don't make up the rules.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33My first screen test with Jack Warner,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I stuck around and I hid behind a door

0:11:35 > 0:11:37because I wanted to hear his reaction.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Did he see my talent, my humour, my intelligence,

0:11:41 > 0:11:43my brave attack on the scene?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46But he wasn't interested in any of that.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Guess what he said? - What did he say?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50He said I had "zero sex appeal."

0:11:50 > 0:11:52He said, "Who would want to fuck that?"

0:11:57 > 0:11:58I was 22.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01And nobody ever had.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11You should go to bed.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Guess who he said he wished I looked like?

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Joan Crawford.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59Why wouldn't I tell him that his pure, darling little girl

0:12:59 > 0:13:02was having a dirty little affair with a married man?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04You vile, sorry little bitch!

0:13:04 > 0:13:07How did I know it was going to end in murder

0:13:07 > 0:13:08with John being butchered?

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Cut. Fantastic, Joanie, fantastic. - BELL RINGS

0:13:11 > 0:13:13OK, turning around on Bette.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14You all right?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17No, I'm fine. It's just so hot.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Yeah. It's a little different down here

0:13:19 > 0:13:20than the freezing cold sound stage.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Bob! Bob, where do you want me for Bette's off-camera?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26You know, I don't think I need you.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's tight. I can have the script girl give me your lines.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31But it's our scene.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I mean, don't you want me here to give you something to build on?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35You already have. Why don't you find

0:13:35 > 0:13:37a dark air-conditioned spot and lie down?

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Hello?

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Hello!

0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Lucille. - This entire production

0:15:32 > 0:15:36is an elaborate opportunity for you to humiliate me, isn't it?

0:15:36 > 0:15:37- What are you talking about? - You, Bob,

0:15:37 > 0:15:41the whole fucking crew abandoned me out at that plantation!

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Mamacita had to find a phone and call a city cab...- Jesus, Joan.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- ..to bring us back.- I had no idea. - No, I don't believe you.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52The proclaimed alliance back in Los Angeles,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55you never had any intention of honouring.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- That is not true. - Christ, what a fool I was

0:15:57 > 0:15:58to sign up for this picture.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01And a bigger fool to think I could ever trust you.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I need you to be brilliant.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04I'm just trying to help you get there.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Oh, you're giving me a hand up?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Because you're the superior talent.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Well, I don't want your help.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13You've always been overrated.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15I guess that explains my 11 Oscar nominations.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18The Academy doesn't reward you for your talent,

0:16:18 > 0:16:20for Christ's sakes, Bette.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24They reward you because they see how hard you sweat.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26They don't see the character, they see the acting.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29And they don't see you at all because of all your glamour make-up.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, let me give you a tip.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36The answer to feeling unattractive isn't to make yourself even uglier!

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm a character actress.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, I said what I came to say.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'm going to bed.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Joan.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08How did it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the world?

0:17:16 > 0:17:17It was wonderful.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22The most joyous thing you could ever imagine,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24and it was never enough.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29Well, what about you?

0:17:30 > 0:17:34How did it feel to be the most talented girl in the world?

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Great.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42But it was never enough.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53THUNDER RUMBLES

0:17:53 > 0:17:54From Mr Aldrich.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Oh, thank you, driver.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Well, at least he remembered to send a car this time.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Maybe now that we are back in Los Angeles

0:18:03 > 0:18:04things will go more smooth.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Call sheet for Monday. - Let me see.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10"Report to 20th Century Fox...

0:18:11 > 0:18:16"..stage seven, scene 42, 6:00 am."

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Scene 42.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Oh, that's my scene with Mr Cotten.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24The seduction scene, it's a wonderful scene.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25And Bette's not in it.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27What's this?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Script revisions?

0:18:31 > 0:18:32For what?

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Where is my monologue?

0:18:39 > 0:18:41What? It's all been cut.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45This is her doing and Bob is colluding with her.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48That's why he sent the car, to soften the blow.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Driver, I'm not going to Brentwood.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Take me to Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'm suddenly feeling very, very ill.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well, according to her doctors, it's respiratory.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Respiratory? What a load of shit.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07She's faking it. She's mad because we trimmed a few of her lines,

0:19:07 > 0:19:08so she's holding up production.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I used to play the same tricks

0:19:10 > 0:19:12when I was at Warner's under contract.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13We can't let her get away with it.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Mother, Jeremy and I need to speak to you.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16Say hello to Mr Aldrich, BD.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah. Hello, Mr Aldrich.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20And this is her elderly playmate, Jerome.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's Jeremy, actually.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23He's got an accent.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27What is it, BD? I'm managing a crisis.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Your whole life is managing a crisis.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I just need you to sign these consent forms.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Consent for what?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34For Jeremy and I to get married.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Don't be ridiculous, you're 16 years old.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39And wise quite beyond her years.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41And that's a credit to you as a mother.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Ah, don't sweet-talk me, bub.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44That English accent might thrill the little girls,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47but it does nothing for me. I played Elizabeth I, twice.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49You're not marrying a 40-year-old man.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51- I'm 29, actually. - You're twice her age.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Old enough to give your daughter everything she deserves -

0:19:53 > 0:19:56protection, affection and financial stability.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58I give her all that.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00We're in love, Mother.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03And we're getting married, whether it's now or two years from now

0:20:03 > 0:20:04when we won't need your permission.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07You don't want my permission, you want my attention.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Now you have it, and the answer is no.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Fine! Force your daughter into a life of sin,

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- if that's what you want. - It is what I want.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15In fact, march yourself up those stairs

0:20:15 > 0:20:17to my bedroom and grab my copy of The Feminine Mystique,

0:20:17 > 0:20:20and read it before you ruin your life.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23What life? I have no life.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Come on, Jeremy.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26A pleasure to have met you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Christ. I thought we had reached

0:20:27 > 0:20:30some kind of detente, but it's always a battle.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32But she's not going to win, not this time, Bob.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Jesus, Bette.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's not a competition, she's your daughter.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39No. I meant Crawford.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42She's not going to shut down production.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Not for one single day.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48WOMAN IN VOICEOVER: Dateline Hollywood, California.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Production on 20th Century Fox's lavish Gothic drama

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, continues despite rumblings

0:20:55 > 0:20:59that the back of a stand-in is doing the work of a star.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Action!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Miriam?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I just can't believe it.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07You look marvellous.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09What is it you can't believe, Drew?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12That I'm here or that I look the way I do?

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Ah, come on, Miriam.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Don't make fun of an old man.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Cut!

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Whispers of a production shutdown

0:21:18 > 0:21:21have been dogging the project in recent weeks.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24And not far away, one of the picture's stars, Joan Crawford,

0:21:24 > 0:21:28recovers from what her doctors are calling a mystery ailment.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Insiders say that Joan

0:21:30 > 0:21:33may just have a bad case of the BDs,

0:21:33 > 0:21:34as in Bette Davis.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Rumours are that Bette's new role

0:21:36 > 0:21:38as a producer on the picture

0:21:38 > 0:21:40have made her even more demanding than ever.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43And after a string of lacklustre follow-ups

0:21:43 > 0:21:45to the triumph of Baby Jane,

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Bette really needs this one to work.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Nobody should be praying harder

0:21:49 > 0:21:52for Joan's speedy recovery than Bette Davis.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56JOAN: Hedda, darling, tell your readers this:

0:21:56 > 0:21:58I am bedded here with the script, making notes

0:21:58 > 0:22:01and coming up with all sorts of wonderful ideas

0:22:01 > 0:22:03for improvements.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06And, as a result of my convalescence,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Charlotte is sure to be a much better picture

0:22:09 > 0:22:11once I recover.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19MUSIC: You Don't Own Me by Lesley Gore

0:22:19 > 0:22:20KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, Bob, what a lovely surprise.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27MUSIC CONTINUES

0:22:27 > 0:22:28Mamacita, turn that off.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Uh, c-could you give us a few moments, please?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Seeing you is a tonic.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Has it really been 12 days?

0:22:41 > 0:22:43I would have come sooner, Joanie, but...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46..I've been busy trying to keep a train on track.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Well, I'm touched you could find a spare moment.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51I have nothing but spare moments.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I've run out of material to shoot.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56If I don't roll cameras on you tomorrow morning,

0:22:56 > 0:22:59the studio's threatening to close us down.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02I need you to come back to work, Joanie.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Bob, you know that's all I want.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Great.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Now, Bette's agreed to behave herself.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08So tomorrow 7am on set,

0:23:08 > 0:23:10otherwise the show's off.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Or is that what you want?

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Perhaps now would be a good time

0:23:15 > 0:23:17to discuss some of my thoughts about the script.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I've given it a very close read

0:23:20 > 0:23:22and I have a few suggestions that I think

0:23:22 > 0:23:24could make all the difference.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27First of all, Bob,

0:23:27 > 0:23:29we know so little about Miriam.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Wouldn't it be wonderful to see her in the bloom of her youth?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Is it really believable

0:23:35 > 0:23:37that Miriam has only one suitor?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Shouldn't she have more beaus?

0:23:40 > 0:23:41How many more beaus?

0:23:41 > 0:23:42Two.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44A politician and an attorney.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47And, really,

0:23:47 > 0:23:49her entrance into the picture?

0:23:49 > 0:23:50Oh, it's all wrong.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53A taxi cab, Bob? No.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54Well, how about a flying carpet?

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Oh, Bob!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59No, but it is the South.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02She should be greeted back home

0:24:02 > 0:24:05with a big Southern ball.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I mean, just think of the production value.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Think of the money.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09But, of course,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm not a producer.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12I'm only an actress.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14But it would be money well spent.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Charlotte's a recluse.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18She wouldn't be hosting a ball in a decaying mansion.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm not suggesting she host it.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22She can be there, of course.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24In a corner, hidden.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Under the stairs, watching.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29All we see are her big eyes.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33You know, Joan,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36the last time I let an actor call all the shots,

0:24:36 > 0:24:37I made 4 For Texas.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I can't afford another bomb.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43If Charlotte doesn't work, I'm back making crap TV.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46So I suggest you put down your fucking script

0:24:46 > 0:24:48and pick up your fucking contract

0:24:48 > 0:24:50and give that a close fucking read.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54Tomorrow morning, 7am,

0:24:54 > 0:24:56and not a minute later.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Oh, Jake, how great to see you.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Thank you.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Oh, Sonny, nice to see you again.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Christ on a crutch.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17She thinks we're still doing the last picture.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20This is good here, dear.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Yes, thank you.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Oh, thank you, thank you all so much.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33I can't tell you what it means to me to be back here.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36I guess this old workhorse is only really happy

0:25:36 > 0:25:37when she's out in the field.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Welcome back, Lucille.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I removed the thorns.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58And...action.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Oh, come on, Miriam.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Don't make fun of an old man.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05You know I never was any good at expressing myself.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Well, that's not so at all, Drew.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09You were always very quick with your compliments.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12It was your intentions that sometimes were a little vague.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14We used to slide down this banister,

0:26:14 > 0:26:16the three of us, and I was

0:26:16 > 0:26:18always the champion.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19Oh, we just let you win

0:26:19 > 0:26:20cos you were the youngest.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Stop it.- Cut.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- What?- I'm sorry, it's too long. I mean, she's here

0:26:26 > 0:26:28to see Charlotte, she should just get on with it.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30No, I have another page of dialogue

0:26:30 > 0:26:31with Mr Cotten.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yes, we should cut that.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37You OK, Joan?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40No, I just felt a little dizzy, I'm sorry. I...

0:26:40 > 0:26:43I had a rather light breakfast.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Oh...

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Oh.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51I can't breathe.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I can't believe you let her get away with it.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01You know I was right about the scene.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You know what, Bette? Being right doesn't mean shit

0:27:03 > 0:27:05if you're driving talent off the stage.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08You want to be a producer? Well, a producer gets results.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10You want to be a lion tamer? Great.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Go tame the goddamn lion.

0:27:14 > 0:27:15That's a wrap!

0:27:23 > 0:27:24- TV:- You won't have to bother now.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Oh, yes, I do. My share...

0:27:27 > 0:27:28DOOR SLAMS

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Fine. You can get married, but I'm in charge of everything.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37JOAN COUGHS

0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Better, Joan?- Thank you.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Ray, is there some reason we're not getting started?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45It's very taxing for Miss Crawford to be out of bed in her condition.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Bed is the last place that woman gets any rest.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Gentlemen.- Miss Davis, please remember what we discussed.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Gentlemen.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59There's now been 29 days since Miss Crawford completed

0:27:59 > 0:28:02a full day's work on Charlotte, resulting in

0:28:02 > 0:28:05expensive delays and cost overruns for this studio.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Our insurer, to this point,

0:28:07 > 0:28:09has covered those losses on the basis

0:28:09 > 0:28:11of Miss Crawford's diagnosis

0:28:11 > 0:28:13of a rare form of pneumonia.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16But her health does not seem to be improving.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- That's because her condition is mental.- Is Miss Davis' presence

0:28:19 > 0:28:21in this meeting constructive or necessary?

0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'm a producer on this picture. I'm in all the meetings

0:28:23 > 0:28:25whether your client likes it or not.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27According to Bob, it's a vanity title.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30It was. And that was my fault.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32But not any more.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35From now on, my stamp is on everything.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38As I was saying, given that Miss Crawford's condition

0:28:38 > 0:28:40does not seem to be improving,

0:28:40 > 0:28:42the studio would like to give her the freedom to devote

0:28:42 > 0:28:44all her energy to getting well again.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47In that spirit, we're offering to release her from all

0:28:47 > 0:28:49contractual obligations.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Mr Aldrich is ready to start looking

0:28:51 > 0:28:52for somebody else to play Miriam.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Ray, we all know there is no

0:28:55 > 0:28:56Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte

0:28:56 > 0:28:58without a reteaming of Crawford and Davis.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Wrong. This is not a sequel to Baby Jane.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03And there will be no need to resort to a poor substitute.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Miss Crawford is following all her doctor's instructions

0:29:06 > 0:29:08to the letter, with the genuine intention

0:29:08 > 0:29:10of returning to work as soon as possible.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Well, Leonard, I'll be candid.

0:29:13 > 0:29:14Our insurer has doubts

0:29:14 > 0:29:16about how genuine those intentions are.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19They insist that your client

0:29:19 > 0:29:21submit to an independent medical exam.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Tiny Tim over there isn't going to let your doctors

0:29:23 > 0:29:24get anywhere near her.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28She's gassing us all with her VapoRub for show.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30She's not sick. She's on strike.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Until Bob accepts all her loony script changes

0:29:33 > 0:29:35and makes her the star of Charlotte.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Miss Davis, if you're incapable of restraining yourself,

0:29:38 > 0:29:40I'll have to ask you to leave.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49I would be perfectly happy

0:29:49 > 0:29:51to submit to an independent exam.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53Very well.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56But before you reject our initial offer,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58know that if our doctor

0:29:58 > 0:29:59clears Miss Crawford to return to work

0:29:59 > 0:30:02and she fails to do so, we will sue her

0:30:02 > 0:30:05to recoup every cent of our losses.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13Splendid. And I want chimes to ring the moment they become man and wife.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Just as their lips touch. Can that be arranged?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18We have bells at the church. They toll.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Oh, I don't want a funeral bell.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23I want a glorious, joyful chime.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Er...what do you think of that, BD?

0:30:26 > 0:30:27Sure.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Do you like it or not? It's your wedding.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32Whatever you think's best.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Could you all please go into the dining room

0:30:36 > 0:30:38and give us a moment? Thank you.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Darling, I want you to answer me truthfully,

0:30:41 > 0:30:44and don't for a second worry about the consequences.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Are you having second thoughts

0:30:47 > 0:30:49about marrying Jeremy?

0:30:49 > 0:30:51What? No. I just don't see

0:30:51 > 0:30:54why we have to make such a big production out of the wedding.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Well, I'll tell you why.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59A wedding is a big, special party because

0:30:59 > 0:31:02everything after that is hard work and repetition.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05It's work to keep a house.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08It's work to fix him the same goddamn glass of Scotch

0:31:08 > 0:31:11every night and feign interest while he rants about his boss.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's work to tolerate

0:31:13 > 0:31:16his forgetting to ask you about your day,

0:31:16 > 0:31:18and your feelings, and your thoughts.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21And it's work to feel like a staging ground

0:31:21 > 0:31:23for someone else's ambitions.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25You just described my life with you.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, then I've prepared you to be a good wife.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34And I'm going to miss you terribly when you're gone.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39This wedding is something I can give you.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41And if you want it,

0:31:41 > 0:31:43I want it to be perfect.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Your first wedding is the one that you remember the most.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50My first wedding?

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Jeremy and I are forever.

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Of course, darling, I...

0:31:54 > 0:31:55Of course.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59And however long that forever lasts,

0:31:59 > 0:32:01I want you know that you will always

0:32:01 > 0:32:03have a place to come home to.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05Christ, is that why you agreed to this,

0:32:05 > 0:32:07because you thought I'd come running back?

0:32:07 > 0:32:09- No, no, no, no, no, no... - No, Mother.

0:32:09 > 0:32:10I'm leaving.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14I'm going to be Jeremy's wife, not yours.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Oh, and guess what?

0:32:16 > 0:32:18For your information,

0:32:18 > 0:32:21my first wedding was perfect.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24It was Saturday...at City Hall.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26We did it the minute you signed the consent form.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29And there were no chimes for our first kiss

0:32:29 > 0:32:31and it was beautiful.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33So all of this...

0:32:33 > 0:32:35..you're not doing it for me.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37You're doing it for you.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Just a slightly elevated temperature.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Really? I feel so warm. Feverish.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Do you suppose it's neurological?

0:33:00 > 0:33:02What other symptoms are you experiencing?

0:33:02 > 0:33:03Well, light-headedness and...

0:33:03 > 0:33:07..dizzy spells in the most inopportune moments.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Breathe in.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Deeper, please.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16SHE COUGHS Oh.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Excuse me.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Lately I've only been able to manage the...

0:33:23 > 0:33:25shallowest of breaths.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Bob can call me if he needs, but there's really not much to it.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Officially, she's completely clear. - You've got to be kidding me.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Good luck with her.- Thank you.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Well, he says you can come back to work, Joan.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Said he'll clear you for a marathon, if you want.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47He's the studio's doctor.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49What did you expect him to say?

0:33:49 > 0:33:50He also said you tried to seduce him.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53That is ridiculous and offensive.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Mamacita, take me to the car.

0:33:55 > 0:34:00This whole experience has been very fatiguing.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02I'm asking you as a fan.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03Do not do this to yourself.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05And what is it you imagine I'm doing?

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Losing every ally. They are going to sue you.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10No-one will stop them. You're ending your career.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13How dare you? You're a secretary.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Stop following me around, nipping at my heels,

0:34:15 > 0:34:17impugning my integrity.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19The moment I get home, I'm calling Bob

0:34:19 > 0:34:21and demanding you be taken off of Charlotte.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25Don't bother. I've already told Bob that I am done after this.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I came out here to work.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29That seems to be the last thing that anyone cares about.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31I don't know if this town attracts narcissists

0:34:31 > 0:34:33or actually creates them.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36But I have no intention of sticking around to find out.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Good luck, Joan.

0:34:42 > 0:34:43What did I think of what Joan did?

0:34:43 > 0:34:45I thought it was pretty great.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48You didn't think it was... undignified?

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Faking sick?

0:34:50 > 0:34:51Let me tell you something.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55At a certain point, a woman becomes invisible.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57You get fat or old...

0:34:57 > 0:34:59..people don't even see you any more.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Oh, come on, think of it this way -

0:35:02 > 0:35:05you've been eating in a restaurant your whole life.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07You're a great customer.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Good tipper. Staff loves you. You spend all your money there.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14And then one day, they won't serve you.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15Won't take your money.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Won't even let you see the menu.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Well, who could blame you

0:35:20 > 0:35:23for wanting to stand up and rip the tablecloth off?

0:35:23 > 0:35:24DOORBELL RINGS

0:35:28 > 0:35:29Mamacita?

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Will you get the door?

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Tell them I'm in the bath.

0:35:36 > 0:35:37DOORBELL RINGS AGAIN

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Mamacita!

0:35:42 > 0:35:44KNOCK ON DOOR

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Oh.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Yes?- Good morning, ma'am. Are you Miss Joan Crawford?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08They make me ask that.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Please sign for documents from 20th Century Fox.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15- What is it? - That's above my pay grade.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17I just make sure you can't deny receipt in court.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Have a happy day, ma'am.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31SHE GASPS

0:36:51 > 0:36:53Wearing a 100,000 sapphire necklace

0:36:53 > 0:36:56over a hospital gown by Dior,

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Joan Crawford is the most glamorous and popular patient

0:36:59 > 0:37:01in the celebrity wing of Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Each day, doctors and nurses line up for the privilege

0:37:04 > 0:37:07of taking care of the ailing movie queen.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10Meanwhile, production on her latest picture,

0:37:10 > 0:37:1220th Century Fox's Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte

0:37:12 > 0:37:15has been halted indefinitely.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17And with cast and crew still on full salary,

0:37:17 > 0:37:21Charlotte's shaping up to be one of 20th's priciest pictures this year.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27What can you possibly hope to gain by delaying production any further?

0:37:27 > 0:37:28You'll get no concessions.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Concessions? Oh, no.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33We're way beyond that. I don't want concessions.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35I want blood. I want to shut this picture down.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Oh, Joan.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40I'll lose hundreds of thousands of dollars

0:37:40 > 0:37:42but so will Bette.

0:37:42 > 0:37:47And I can live happily and frugally just knowing that.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51And Bob Aldrich can shutter his production company

0:37:51 > 0:37:55and end his career directing shitty television.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Fuck them both.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00You were always ambitious.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03But when did you become so vindictive?

0:38:03 > 0:38:06I've always been valued for my beauty.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08And more times than not,

0:38:08 > 0:38:10nothing else.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12But now the only bed I can find any power in

0:38:12 > 0:38:14is this hospital bed.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Well, why don't you free yourself from all this?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Tell 'em you're too ill to continue.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21Let them recast the role.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Oh, they've already tried. I know that.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27They've gone out to Loretta Young, to Stanwyck.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Both dear friends of mine. No, there isn't an actress in town

0:38:30 > 0:38:32who would take food out of my mouth.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34That's because most of them don't eat.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Don't fool yourself, Joanie.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41You watch and see, George.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Next week at this time,

0:38:44 > 0:38:46that picture will be cancelled,

0:38:46 > 0:38:51and Joan Crawford will make a sudden

0:38:51 > 0:38:52and remarkable recovery.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Tell Zanuck no. Absolutely not!

0:39:01 > 0:39:03I am not going to do this slice of Americana

0:39:03 > 0:39:05with the very British Miss Vivien Leigh.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Who would believe her as a Southern belle?

0:39:07 > 0:39:09She played Scarlett O'Hara.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10Unconvincingly.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Do you want to make this movie, Bette,

0:39:12 > 0:39:14- or don't you? - I don't want to just make it.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15I want to make it properly,

0:39:15 > 0:39:18And it's got to be someone I can work with, someone I trust.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Someone who's right for the goddamn part.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22Now call her!

0:39:25 > 0:39:29Darlings, I'm so flattered you thought about me.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30But it's impossible.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34I've only just aired out my Swiss chalet for the season.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38And, besides, I've done my turn at Grand Guignol already.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Aggh!

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Help! Please help!

0:39:43 > 0:39:46I'm trapped in a small private elevator!

0:39:46 > 0:39:51The whole experience just left me feeling...humiliated,

0:39:51 > 0:39:52and I'd rather not repeat it.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Oh, no, Olivia. This is completely different.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56This time you're not the victim.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58You'd be the villainess.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Oh, no. I don't do bitches.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02They make me so unhappy.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04You should call my sister.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10So you can imagine my surprise two days later when I opened my door

0:40:10 > 0:40:13to a very dishevelled Mr Robert Aldrich.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17He had taken three planes, a train,

0:40:17 > 0:40:20a taxi up a goat trail, just to get to see me.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22So of course I heard him out.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25And, what do you know, he had a very different image

0:40:25 > 0:40:26for Cousin Miriam.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27FANFARE ON RADIO

0:40:36 > 0:40:37News from Tinseltown!

0:40:37 > 0:40:40It looks like 20th Century Fox's beleaguered production,

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte is back on again.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46The studio is saying bye-bye, Joan Crawford,

0:40:46 > 0:40:48and hello to Miss Olivia de Havilland!

0:40:48 > 0:40:49- They can't do that. - Miss de Havilland,

0:40:49 > 0:40:52another two-time Academy Award-winning actress,

0:40:52 > 0:40:55- joins her old pal, Bette Davis.- No!

0:40:55 > 0:40:58The pair last worked together in 1942 on In This Our Life.

0:40:58 > 0:40:59No!

0:40:59 > 0:41:01No! No!

0:41:01 > 0:41:04Oh!

0:41:07 > 0:41:09JOAN WEEPS

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Wait, what are you doing?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Mamacita.- Leaving.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19I told you the next time you throw something at my head,

0:41:19 > 0:41:21I leave.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Now I leave.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24No! No, wait!

0:41:24 > 0:41:28No. Mamacita, wait! Please.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31You can't leave me now!

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Not after what they've done to me.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35You have done this to yourself.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37No!

0:41:37 > 0:41:40# Hush hush, sweet Charlotte

0:41:42 > 0:41:46# Charlotte, don't you cry

0:42:05 > 0:42:07And do you feel guilty at all

0:42:07 > 0:42:08about ending Joan Crawford's career?

0:42:10 > 0:42:11Time did that all on its own...

0:42:13 > 0:42:14..as it does to us all.

0:42:14 > 0:42:19# You dreamed that he said goodbye

0:42:20 > 0:42:25# Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
