This week's Dream Cast Thursday is What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? . The original film came out in 1962. I looked at that cast as well as a stage cast when I made my casting decisions.
The first character that I recast was Blanche Hudson. She was originally played by Joan Crawford. In the stage production, she was played by Vanessa Redgrave. For my adaptation, I cast Sigourney Weaver.
The other character that I recast was Baby Jane Hudson. She was originally played by Bette Davis in the film and Lynn Redgrave on stage. For my adaptation, I cast Susan Sarandon.
So what do you all think? Have you seen the original? Who would be in your adaptation?

Right you were as Ryan Murphy cast Susan Sarandon to play Bette Davis in the upcoming Feud. Good casting choice!
