What Ever Happened to... What Ever Happened to... What Ever Happened to... is a 1991 American made-for-television thriller film directed by David Greene and adapted for the small screen by Brian Taggert, based on the novel "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" by Henry Farrell and the 1962 theatrical film of the same name. It stars real-life sisters Lynn Redgrave as Baby Jane Hudson and Vanessa Redgrave as Blanche Hudson, in the roles previously played by Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in the 1962 adaptation. The film was adapted to contemporary times, with Blanche's film success taking place in the 1960s instead of the
Joan Crawford movie stars, and one of the highest-paid women in the United States. In 1945 she starred in "Mildred Pierce" and won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She would go on to receive Best Actress nominations for "Possessed" (1947) and "Sudden Fear" (1952). Crawford continued to act in film and television throughout the 1950s and 1960s; she achieved box office success with the highly successful horror film "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" (1962), in which she starred alongside Bette Davis, her long-time rival. In 1955, Crawford became involved with the Pepsi-Cola Company through her marriage to company Chairman and Chief
