“Yes, I want that Oscar,” Davis told columnist Army Archerd. On the red carpet, Davis stated her intentions with the kind of immodesty that would have made Meryl Streep blush. Davis, who was positive she would win, also wore Edith Head-and was accompanied to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium by her daughter B.D., son Michael, and friend Olivia de Havilland (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones). While Page would have fretted about finding the perfect dress, Crawford reveled in dressing for the occasion, wearing an Edith Head-designed silver gown, Van Cleef and Arpels diamonds, and silver powder dusted onto her curled hair.
I was happyĪnd honored that Joan Crawford would be doing all of that for me.” Or spend a lot of time looking for a new dress to wear. That meant I wouldn’t have to fly all the way to California, No, Miss Crawford.’ When she mentioned aboutĪccepting the Oscar for me if I won, I said yes. “I received a lovely note of congratulations from Miss Crawford,” said After the nominations were announced, Crawford acted every bit the team player, telling reporters, “I always knew Bette would be chosen, and I hope and pray that she wins.”

(Yes, it was on behalf of Anne Bancroft-but that was just a technicality in the Machiavellian movie star’s mind.) To quote Hedda Hopper in her post-Oscars column: “When it comes to giving or stealing a show, nobody can top Joan Crawford.” Not only did Crawford get the outcome she wanted-a win for anyone but Davis-but in the end, it was Crawford who took the Oscar stage to accept the best-actress award. On Sunday’s episode of Feud, Ryan Murphy kicked his burgeoning Joan Crawford-Bette Davis rivalry up to the screaming crescendo that was the 1963 best-actress race-when Davis earned an Oscar nomination for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Crawford, her snubbed co-star, channeled her jealousy into the kind of scorched-earth Oscar campaign that would make Harvey Weinstein swell with pride.
