Although the original classic What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) starring the legendary Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was still a way better movie by far, this 1990 TV remake is nonetheless interestingly portrayed by Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave (real life sisters), and perhaps because this archetypal Baby Jane story is set in the 1980's, is definitely worth a look... There was gossip concerning another remake of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane set in contemporary times, but to my current knowledge has not come to fruition just yet... Pity, because a modern interpretation of the former child star's jealousy of her sister's success in show business before she was crippled by the accident, could amount to interesting viewing indeed...just as long it did legitimate justice to the original, way back in 1962.
