Jessica Lange

I have a "thing" about Jessica Lange.  I just think she is a fabulous actress.  My favorite living actress, for sure.  And one movie I loved was Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?  And I have always been fascinated by the back story, the rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.  So when I heard that Feud was coming out, WITH Jessica Lange and created by the brilliant dude, Ryan Murphy who is half of American Horror Story, I was so super excited.  I am watching it while I am on the treadmill, so I am behind, but I LOVE it.  
So then I saw that Robert Wagner had written I Loved Her in the Movies:  Working with the Legendary Actresses of Hollywood, I had to listen and I am so glad I did! 
The Golden Age of Hollywood has always appealed to me, so I loved these stories best of all, but the whole book was just so good.  And I so admired Wagner for the way he was so respectful of each of the women about whom he wrote.  I admit I didn't know much about Wagner himself, but I now want to know more.  He comes across as very humble and a very decent guy.  I just wish there had been some Judy in it!  She was mentioned, but I guess they didn't work together.
