My grandmother introduced me to so many black and white thrillers like The Bad Seed, Dead Ringer, Straightjacket, and my favorite, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. They don’t ever seem to do anything-or have anyone in for company. “Sometimes I wonder about the two of them over there in that big old house all alone. This edition features exclusive extra material: three previously unpublished short stories by Henry Farrell, including the inspiration for the movie Hush.Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and an introduction that reveals how the original novel came about as well as the behind-the-scenes drama of the iconic film starring Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. And when Baby Jane decides it's time to revive her childhood act, she won't let anything - or anyone - stand in her way. Crippled by the accident, Blanche is helpless under the control of her sister, who is slowly descending into madness. Now, years later, the two sisters live in a decaying Hollywood mansion, isolated from the outside world. As Blanche's film career took off, a resentful Jane watched from the shadows as her own career faded into obscurity - until a tragic accident changed everything. Once an acclaimed child star of vaudeville, Baby Jane Hudson performed for adoring crowds before a move to Hollywood thrust her sister, Blanche, into the spotlight.
