Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the film opens in 1917, six-year-old Baby Jane Hudson becomes an enormously

successful child star in vaudeville while her older sister, Blanche, is forced

to remain quietly in the background. As the two reach maturity in the 20's and

early 30's, however, Jane loses both her appeal and her talent, and Blanche

develops into a beautiful and renowned film actress. Then, at the height of her

career, Blanche is crippled in an automobile accident for which the alcoholic

Jane is held responsible.



As the years pass, the two sisters become virtual recluses in an old mansion,

where the slatternly and guilt-ridden Jane (Davis) cares for the helpless

Blanche (Crawford). When she learns Blanche is planning to sell the house and

perhaps place her in a home, Jane plots a diabolical revenge. She serves her

sister trays of dead rats and parakeets, tears out her phone, and keeps her a

prisoner in her bedroom.



She even resorts to killing their black maid, Elvira (Maidie Norman), with a

hammer when the woman becomes suspicious and threatens to go to the police. Jane

is also planning to make a comeback and has hired an out of work pianist, Edwin

Flagg (Buono), to accompany her. When Edwin discovers Blanche gagged and bound

to her bed, he runs hysterically from the house.



Realizing he will go to the police, Jane drags Blanche into a car and drives to

a nearby beach. There Blanche confesses that she had arranged the automobile

accident and had intended to kill her sister to avenge herself for the years of

humiliation she had spent in the shadow of Baby Jane. As the police arrive upon

the scene, the now totally deranged Jane goes into her song-and-dance routine of

long ago.
