[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 225574, member: 7"] If any of you have browsed over to my thread centering on [I]Be Kind Rewind[/I], the richly written, and beautifully executed YouTube channel primarily focusing on actresses and the Best Actress Oscar category, whether it be classic or modern. It's one of my favorite channels, and it's the only one that I'm subscribed to that I always watch the new videos when they're posted. Naturally, the comments to these videos are cluttered with suggestions for future discussions. Anyway, the two latest videos (it's the channel's first two-part contribution) center on the Davis/Crawford feud that we've dedicated this entire thread to. This first part focuses primarily on Anne Bancroft's win for [I]The Miracle Worker[/I]. Having never seen this Oscar-winning vehicle for Miss Bancroft, I cannot offer any personal view on whether or not the accolades she received were warranted or not. The video basically dives into the theory that Davis was not snubbed, and that the 1963 Oscars story is generally used only as a pretext to discuss Davis and Crawford and that Bancroft's work is routinely overlooked. [MEDIA=youtube]URwdDUt6pCA[/MEDIA] This second part rewinds a little and takes us back to the genesis of the Davis and Crawford feud. It tackles a lot of fact, rumor, and speculation. Honestly, there's probably relatively little that can actually be verified concerning Davis and Crawford's animosity because both women were ladies and seemed to prefer to doing their spats more intelligently. Of course Davis would some spatting at Crawford after she died, but they were usually fairly cordial about one another in interviews. Sure, you know that they aren't bosom buddies, but they don't out-right criticize the other. I take my hat off to them about that. This video covers all of that and more. It's the channel's longest video to date. It gives me a deliciously entertaining little documentary revolving one of Hollywood's most infamous feuds. [MEDIA=youtube]lWYISEEl2dI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
