BETTE & JOAN The Divine Feud

Narrator January LaVoy delivers this juicy look at the lives of Hollywood film legends Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. LaVoy chronicles their early lives in an objective tone, but when she delivers accounts of their epic press-fueled feud, their outrageous behavior, and, of course, the men in their lives, she is remarkable. She adjusts her voice slightly for each of the movie stars, wisely choosing not to imitate those recognizable voices. Listeners who were “movie- star-struck” during Hollywood’s Golden Age will enjoy this gossipy romp, filled with backstage doings that never made it into the mainstream press. LaVoy is delicious delivering the scandalous saga of the sometimes shocking, always entertaining, and never dull dames Davis and Crawford.
