If she were alive Bette Davis would turn 100 on Saturday. Her nemesis Joan Crawford would have hit the same landmark barely a fortnight before – though we have to be a bit cagey about Joan’s age as she was notoriously vague about it.
Jenni talks to Anna Raeburn, author of 'Joan Crawford' and Dr Martin Shingler, Senior Lecturer at the University of Sunderland's Center for Research and Media Studies, about these two great stars and rivals. They explore their stormy relationship through some wonderful archive BBC interviews, and Jenni tells her story – when she went into the lion’s den to interview Ms Davis.
