chair” to which Bette Davis as Baby Jane Hudson creepily replies “But you ARE, Blanche! You ARE in that chair!”
Everybody loves the 1962 campy horror film, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” directed by Robert Aldrich. The character of Baby Jane Hudson is considered by many to be one of the top movie villains of all time and is especially loved by gay men.
Today we’re talking to writer and director, Billy Clift about his debut film “Baby Jane?” a loving parody of the Hollywood classic.
Billy’s loved the movie all his life, and when he had the opportunity to make a revision his favorite film, he cast it with some of the best drag queens and performers in San Francisco. The film features Matthew Martin as Baby Jane and Katya Smirnoff Skye as Blanche.
And guess who plays the nosy neighbor-Trannyshack founder Heklina!
They’re both on today’s show talking about the making of the movie and whether the drag queens battled it out behind the scenes as much as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford did during the making of the original film.
Also – Heklina fills us in on her recent appearance on the TV series “Trauma” with hunky actor Taylor Kinney.
