Feud, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis
Susan Sarandon's Bette Davis jokingly tells Dominic Burgess' Victor Buono in the finale of Feud: Bette and Joan that she should warn Joan Crawford about Faye Dunaway. Davis says that Joan Crawford wants Faye Dunaway to portray her in a movie and as any film fan knows (even before Feud notes it in the end of the April 23 episode), that desire came to fruition with 1981's Mommie Dearest. In a cruel twist of irony, Dunaway played Crawford in the movie based off Crawford's daughter Christina Crawford's memoir. So did Crawford really want Dunaway to portray her in a "picture"? That's how the Hollywood legend goes.
