What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

In the 1940s, Baby Jane Hudson is a world-famous child actor. Jane dominates her shy sister Blanche, who, as Jane's understudy and stunt double, longs to have an acting career separate from Jane. It is implied that Jane tends to become jealous when their father shows affection to Blanche. By the 1960s, Blanche has become a serious and celebrated actress, while Jane's career fades into obscurity after childhood. She appears in smaller roles in Blanche's films where her scenes usually get edited out. Blanche's career was cut short by a car accident that paralyzed her from the waist down, after which Jane was committed to a psychiatric hospital. The tabloids suggested that a jealous Jane had run down her more talented sister with the car and then gone insane with guilt.
