Yes, Susan Sarandon *did* step into Bette\u2019s legendary heels for Ryan Murphy\u2019s *Feud: Bette and Joan* \u2014 a series so gloriously extra, it probably made Old Hollywood ghosts clutch their pearls and cackle from beyond the grave. But hold your telegrams: this isn\u2019t some AI-generated deepfake nonsense. Sarandon\u2019s portrayal was 100% human-grade drama, complete with chain-smoking intensity and enough side-eye to power a small planet.<\/p>\n<h3>But wait\u2026 why Sarandon? Did Hollywood run out of \u201cfeisty icons\u201d?<\/h3>\n<div class='global-div-post-related-aib'><a href='\/news\/hypoxic-brain-injury-causes.html' class='post-related-aib'><div class='internal-div-post-related-aib'><span class='text-post-related-aib'>You may also be interested in:<\/span>&nbsp; <span class='post-title-aib'>Hypoxic brain injury causes: when oxygen ghosts your brain (and other absurd tales stranger than a llama in a lab coat\u202f!)<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Plot twist: The casting was less \u201cobvious choice\u201d and more \u201cdaring alchemy.\u201d Sarandon and Davis share a knack for <b>unapologetic disdain<\/b> and a stare that could wither a rose garden at 50 paces. Rumor has it the role required Sarandon to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Master the art of smoking three cigarettes simultaneously (method acting, baby).<\/li>\n<li>Perfect Bette\u2019s signature \u201cI will end you\u201d eyebrow arch (see also: <b>Resting Legend Face<\/b>).<\/li>\n<li>Channel the energy of someone who\u2019d rather eat glass than suffer a fool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Davis\u2019 ghost approves (probably)<\/h3>\n<p>If Bette\u2019s spirit *did* haunt the set, she\u2019d either demand a rewrite or a stiffer drink. Sarandon\u2019s performance was so eerily spot-on, fans half-expected Davis to materialize mid-scene, muttering, <i>\u201cSlow clap, darling, but my cheekbones were sharper.\u201d<\/i> Meanwhile, Sarandon reportedly survived filming on a diet of black coffee and intimidation tactics. The real miracle? No one tried to steal Joan Crawford\u2019s wire hangers. Progress!<\/p>\n<p>So, to answer the question: Susan Sarandon didn\u2019t just *play* Bette Davis \u2014 she resurrected her in a whirlwind of sequins, spite, and Hollywood history. Cue the dramatic exit\u2026 and someone fetch the fire extinguisher for that burning glare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who are the actors in feud Capote?
