In season one, the feud between legendary Hollywood actresses Joan Crawford and Bette Davis is presented. Although their mutual dislike is well known before their first and only professional collaboration on What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) which is at the seeming twilight of their professional lives as actresses, others around them may have their own motives for fueling that dislike.
