I think Susan looks more like Bette than Jessica does Joan. But they are both excellent.

😎

Joan Crawford lookalikes nowadays are hard to find maybe?

the mismatch is very frustrating indeed.

What bothers me about Susan's performance is that she doesn't sound particularly like Bette. I see than Jessica is really making a concerted effort to sound like Joan. But Bette's accent is far more a part of her character and Susan should have tried to replicate it more.

Neither of them looks like the star they're playing, but at least Sarandon has eyes as large as Davis's. That gives her enough of a resemblance to go on with.

Lange looks nothing like Crawford from her face to her toes, and IMHO she's kind of missing the mark with her performance. Crawford was tremendously artificial, she created both a screen persona and a ladylike private persona for herself, and Lange isn't really getting the essential phoniness of Joan Crawford. She should have found Crawford's reading of her own book "My Way of Life", which were originally LPs and are now on YouTube. Yes, Crawford wrote a lifestyle book in the early sixties, and made an audio version just to make sure that all the blind and illiterate people could appreciate her faux-genteel narcissism.
