What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Henry Farrell's novel "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1960).
- The final scene on the beach was filmed in Malibu, in the very same location where director Robert Aldrich filmed the finale of his film "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955).
- The house used as the Hudson sisters' mansion is located at 172 South McCadden Place in Hancock Park, Los Angeles.
- The curious daughter of the neighbor was played by Barbara Merrill, daughter of Bette Davis, who, like Joan Crawford's daughter, Christine Crawford, later published a biographical book portraying her mother in an unfavorable light.
- Bette Davis wears a wig in the film, which was used for Joan Crawford’s makeup in one of her early films. However, the latter did not recognize it, as it had been significantly altered.
- The film’s success gave the green light to other projects that were shot or produced by the same Robert Aldrich and in which the story revolved around psychotic women. These films are “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte” (1964) and “What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice?” (1969).
- The first tensions between the two actresses began when Bette Davis installed a Coca-Cola machine on the set. Joan Crawford, being the widow of a Pepsi-Cola owner, believed that this was done to spite her. A second friction occurred when Davis was nominated for an “Oscar” for her role in this film.
- The animosity between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was also evident during filming. In particular, during the staging of the scene where Jane kicks Blanche, Davis hit Crawford so hard that she needed stitches. In retaliation, Crawford, preparing to film the scene where Jane drags Blanche across the floor, secretly placed a heavy weight in her dress pockets, resulting in Davis severely straining her back by the end of the shooting.
- Film clips featuring young Jane, viewed at the studio, are from «The Parachute Jumper» (1933) and «She Done Him Wrong» (1933). The film featuring young Blanche, which she watches on television, is «Sadie McKee» (1934).
- At the beginning of the film, when Mrs. Bates enters her home, a painting by Margaret Keane is hanging on the wall, about whom Tim Burton would make the film «Big Eyes» in 2014.
- The film is based on Henry Farrell's novel "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1960).
