AirTalk’s FilmWeek Screening: “What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?”
- Art Theater of Long Beach, 2025 E 4th St., Long Beach
FilmWeek is headed to Long Beach! Join us at the Art Theatre, the only remaining independent movie theatre in Long Beach, for a special screening of the cult classic, “What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?” Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are at the height of their powers, with Davis’ titular Baby Jane landing a spot on the American Film Institute’s list of 50 greatest film villains and scoring Davis her tenth and final Oscar nomination. The alleged behind-the-scenes rivalry between the two stars proved pivotal to the film’s success and has become the stuff of legend. Afterwards, AirTalk host Larry Mantle will talk with film critic of the LA Times Amy Nicholson and other special guests about the impact and long lasting legacy of the film.
This program is presented in partnership with the Art Theater.
SPECIAL GUESTS
Jonathan Kuntz, film historian, lecturer - UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television
