Whatever it is that happened to Baby Jane, it's happened in a lot of other movies too!
The way Hollywood dispenses its female roles is eerily neo-pagan: you're either maiden, mother, or crone. While some leading ladies go gentle into that good night, others drive themselves full-throttle over the edge, donning hag-drag to turn in unforgettable performances and giving rise to the subgenre affectionately referred to as "Psycho-biddy" or "Grand Dame Guignol". Join MTL's scrappy lineup of presenters in reveling in this exciting phenomenon with oft-overlooked film clips showcasing the hardest-working actresses in showbiz, liberally sprinkled with live presentations and crackling commentary. For one night only, curses will fly, makeup will run and ladies will be met!
