FADL Film Club
Discussing Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

Just like a book club, only for MOVIES. Join the conversation. Watch the film ahead of time (or, if you've already seen it, plan to rewatch it), and then join us at the Ferndale Library and meet/chat with other film buffs while we watch a few key clips from the film.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? sparked a trend toward casting venerable Hollywood female stars in such grotesque Grand Guignol melodramas as Lady in a Cage (1964) and Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte (1965). In addition to revitalizing the careers of Davis and Crawford, whose real-life mutual animosity came through loud and clear, the film made a star of sorts of 24-year-old character actor Victor Buono, cast as a porcine mama's-boy musical composer. Lukas Heller's screenplay was based on the novel by Henry Farrell.

Hosted on the first 3 Wednesdays at 10:30 AM! 

Join us for a variety of engaging stories and active songs geared towards families with young children:
