The defining moment in the lifelong rivalry of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis played out on Sunday night in the latest episode of ‘Feud.’
It all went down on April 8, 1963 at the 35th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, a night that was intended to be the crowning moment of Davis’ remarkable career comeback.
The actress was a heavy favorite to win the Oscar for Best Actress thanks to her work alongside Crawford in ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?’ and take home her third acting award.
It was Davis’ 10th nomination and would have been her third win had her name been called, but to the shock of many it was Anne Bancroft who won for her portrayal of Helen Keller’s mentor Anne Sullivan in ‘The Miracle Worker.’
Davis was left heartbroken and in shock, convinced that her career was over for good and she would never be nominated again, which turned out to be true.
