Talk:The Star (1952 film)

I've just finished listening to three books on Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Two were autobiographies written by Davis ("The Lonely Life," and "This 'N That"), and the third was "Bette and Joan: The Divine Feud," by John Considine. As a result, my understanding of this film is a bit different than in the description provided.

First, Bette Davis is on record numerous times saying that this film was NOT based on Joan Crawford. She often quipped, "I would never play Joan Crawford. She did a good job doing that herself," or something to that effect. Also, according to Considine, the wedding of Katherine Albert's and Dale Eunson's daughter took place in 1952. This film was released that same year, so it must have been written, cast, and shot at least a year before (and a year before the supposed retaliatory wedding. I don't see how that could have been done in retaliation by Joan Crawford.

Perhaps more references are in order to make these claims? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:8400:4AD1:8590:7D8F:14A4:81A1 (talk) 22:18, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
