Celluloid Handbag: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE




Rebecca Havemeyer's Celluloid Handbag: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE - Tuesday 7/27 @Ritz
Advance tickets available here

The Alamo is proud to start off a new series, Rebecca Havemeyer's Celluloid Handbag, with WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, the cattiest film in history. Hosted by Austin's most fabulous drag queen Rebecca Havemeyer, Celluloid Handbag offers a night for all you cinema-divas out there to congregate and celebrate.

A Titan against a Titan! A Crone against a Mannequin! An Icon against an Icon! The time has come for one of the biggest blow-outs ever to mash against the Silver Screen in an attempt to save two dying stars from turning into wretched black holes!! You will never experience the extreme lengths at which a fading actress will take to steal a scene until you sit your happy asses down for the showdown of a lifetime that is....WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Witness BETTE DAVIS duke it out with JOAN CRAWFORD using weapons of mass destruction, including, but not limited to...dead rats, dead birds, jugs of liquor, wheelchairs and portly mama's boys!! This amazing psychological horror flick is richer and more disturbing than Daddy Warbucks putting Little Orphan Annie to bed, and CELLULOID HANDBAG is proud to present it to you on a silver platter! Join ya' not-so-sane hostess REBECCA HAVEMEYER as she drags you through a night of sheer hell with two of the biggest stars known to hate each other more than their critics. You will leave smiling and drooling...guaranteed. (Rebecca Havemeyer)
