Joan Crawford. Two iconic actresses ... one Ryan first talked to me about it, I said, ‘I’m just terrified. I am legendary feud. so scared.’ And he said, ‘Well, I’m scared, too. It will be OK.’ And that really helped me a lot.” Having worked his creative magic for FX on such series as “American Horror Story” and “The People v. O.J. Simpson: Much Crawford material also was available to Lange, who American Crime Story,” producer Ryan Murphy turns his reasons, “When (Crawford) was in public, she was performing, attention – with ample assistance from modern, Oscar- so it was very hard to find a moment where you could like winning acting staples Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange really discern what the heart and soul of that character was. – to a famous Hollywood rivalry in “Feud: Bette and Joan,” As an actor, you go back to, ‘OK, well, this is what happened premiering Sunday, March 5. to her in her childhood, what determined who she was: the physical abuse, sexual abuse, the poverty, all these things The saga largely revolves around Crawford (Lange) and she was constantly fighting against for the rest of her life. Davis’ (Sarandon) work in the classic 1962 thriller “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?,” a major vehicle for both of them “She had a 5th-grade education,” adds Lange. “As she said, when their decades-spanning stardom was on the wane. ‘Everything I learned, I was taught by MGM’: how to walk, The result was competition and mistrust between them that how to speak, how to present your face. I mean, everything, escalated to an epic level, thus ensuring the sort of drama so there is this great artifice. Then, what becomes interesting that qualifies for a limited-run (eight-episode) television series. as an actor is when that artifice falls away, and then you actually can invent what you would imagine was inside her.” “I wasn’t really interested in doing anything that was ‘campy’ or a ‘camp fest,’ ” Murphy maintains. “I was interested in Additional notables in the “Feud” cast include Alfred Molina something a little deeper and a little bit more emotional and as Baby Jane director Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as film- painful. I think ultimately what happened to both women is industry mogul Jack Warner (whose Warner Bros. studio very painful. made that movie), Judy Davis as then-powerful gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Olivia “I got to know Bette Davis. I had a very minor relationship de Havilland (Davis’ co-star in Aldrich’s “Baby Jane”-ish with her and got to spend time with her, and ... you go into follow-up “Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte”), Kiernan Shipka something like that expecting a larger-than-life camp figure, (“Mad Men”) as Davis’ daughter, and two more veterans which I think she helped propagate. And she told me when (besides Lange) of Murphy’s company of ensemble players: I talked to her that she felt that she was never going to be Emmy winners Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates, respectively anybody unless somebody could impersonate her, so in portraying actresses Geraldine Page and Joan Blondell. the public view, she rarely turned that off. She felt that was important for her survival, but when I got across from her one- The mentor of the Half Foundation that ensures plentiful work on-one and I got to spend four hours talking with her one day, for female directors on his productions, Murphy envisions she was not that person at all.

What I love about the show is that even though it’s set in 1962, the Sarandon says she found “the good news and bad news with themes and issues are so modern, women are still going playing someone well-known is that there are so many pieces through this sort of stuff today that they went through 50 of film and TV appearances and interviews and recordings years ago. Nothing has really changed, and we really wanted and everything, so we just hunkered down. For the first six to lean into that aspect.” March 5 - 11, 2017 YOUR TV LINK Courtesy of Gracenote Page 3 CELEBRITY JAY BOBBIN‘S Q&A ‘Designated Survivor’ gives Italia Ricci a ‘very rich’ role WEDNESDAY ON ABC As “Designated Survivor” resumes its freshman season Wednesday (March 8), what do you consider the key to the show’s success so far? All of the characters on the show are very rich and very valuable. They work so well and so symbiotically, that’s what’s making the show exciting for viewers. What do you remember about landing your part as presidential adviser Emily Rhodes on “Designated Survivor”? I booked the role while I was shooting “Supergirl,” and I was happy that I had something else once I knew (the character) Silver Banshee was going to be finished on that series. (“Designated Survivor”) was such a good script, and with Kiefer (Sutherland) involved, I was so excited. It kind of felt like I’d graduated to a grown-up show. The last episode ended with Emily fearing that Chief of Staff Aaron Shore (Adan Canto), for whom she was starting to fall, might be involved in the terrorist attack that made Tom Kirkman (Sutherland) the new President. What thoughts can you share on that? It’s changed a few times. I’d been told where it was going to go, then where it wasn’t, so I actually have no idea what’s going to happen. Reading one of these scripts is as exciting as watching an episode for the first time as a viewer. The actors are on a text chain, and we’re constantly like, “Have you read it it? What page are you on?” You married Robbie Amell (“The Flash”) last fall, and you were working on the series right up to the time of the wedding. How was that for you? It was actually kind of great, because I didn’t have time to get nervous or anything like that.
