Cut, playback.

Hello, Mr. Snow Man?

I have a blizzard going here.

Mr. Snow Man, I have a blizzard going here.

I need a lot more snow, say 50% more snow, you got that?

Jane!

Your turn.

When do I get to play a real part instead of just

being your stand-in or hangin' around in the background?

Maybe when I think you're ready.

Come on, Blanche.

Maybe you'd better go with her.

Alright, going one more time.

I need some help, people, we gotta make this thing.

Let's go, let's go!

Honey, the parts will get bigger.

Not in her pictures.

I really, really don't understand her.

Sometimes she's nice and then she gets really mean.

I think she's crazy.

The way she treats everybody, even you and Daddy.

Please, we need you on your sister's marks, thank you.

We promised your sister a real part, Jane.

We did, Jane.

Blanche is clumsy.

Okay, Blanche.

Take your sister's position on the bed, please.

Whoa, whoa, sky bombers, sky bombers!

I'd like to live at the beach always.

Maybe we could!

Daddy?

No, Blanche, it's just too far from the studios.

It might be nice for the girls.

Yeah, but when Blanche begins her acting lessons,

it'll be just too inconvenient.

Now me, and let's do it like Betty Boop.

Okay.

Get your nose.

Okay.

Put your lips together.

Good job, Blanche, good job!

Good job.

- Ice cream! - Ice cream?

Oh, oh, oh, ice cream, ice cream.

We scream, we all scream, oh!

I know, but I didn't know what to do.

You'd gone and I didn't think you were ever coming back.

You won't leave, now that you're here?

- No. - You promise you'll stay?

Always.

Oh, Bill.

Bill.

Ah, I didn't hear you come in.

How could you, with that damn thing blaring?

Bill.

Bill.

That one of your turkeys?

I can see so many things Tony could've improved upon,

that would've, might've helped the movie.

Like not releasing it, you mean.

Oh, it wasn't that bad.

Host of the series says they're making some videos

out of my movies. - Really?

Jane, Jane, would you please get a video recorder?

I've asked you so many times, it would be fun.

I wanna see some old movies. - Oh, great.

We could have a film festival of your films, Blanche.

No need to be sarcastic.

Anyway, you seem to have forgotten that you had parts

in most of my movies.

They weren't parts, Blanche, they were scraps, leftovers.

Some of them were big.

And then cut to nothing, you took care of that.

You, the editor, the director, you were in it together.

- That's not true. - Yeah, that is true, Blanche.

Yeah, you shot my scenes,

so I could be cut out of the film later.

Yeah, I know that trick.

You seem to forget I was a star when your billing was still

"pioneer child killed by stampede."

Just really glad that Daddy never lived

to see what you did to my career.

Tweak!

Come here, boy, come here, come on.

That's my baby boy. - Frank, Frank.

Come over here, quick, quick, quick!

Do you know who that is?

I wanted to die, I couldn't face it alone.

No.

That's Blanche Hudson.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Don't be so smug, you love living nextdoor to a movie star.

Sweetheart, I wouldn't know her if I fell over her.

I've hardly ever seen her.

I saw her, I did, I saw her once.

Frank, Frank, I'm watchin' the TV.

You know, the only one I've ever seen is that sister

draggin' herself around like a ratty old flower child.

Now, be nice.

She looks like she got trampled at Woodstock.

Shh!

I heard she was a lush.

Do you know that I got one of those trashy newspapers

from the supermarket.

They did a whole week on Where Are They Now?

It said that Jane Hudson deliberately tried to kill

her sister Blanche in that so-called accident

and only succeeded in paralyzing her.

Now, please!

Oh, please, can I have the TV?

Nope.

Watch upstairs, I got work to do.

Bye bye.

Jane, did you take your pills?

You'll miss your big scene.

Ow.

Ow.

Miss Hudson, I'm Connie Trotter from right next door.

I don't mean to bother you, but I was just making some

cookies and after seeing your sister's film on TV,

I couldn't resist sharing what I do real well

to thank your sister for what she does real well.

I kinda rehearsed that.

Did you know that there's a retrospective

of your sister's films on? - Yeah, I know.

Um, you know, I have a video cassette of Dark Sunrise,

the movie that your sister did with William Carol.

I was pretty young when all your sister's films came out,

but I have become a real fan through TV and I was wondering

if maybe she was... - She doesn't give autographs.

If that's what you're after.

Oh, would you and your sister like to come over

to our house for dinner some night?

My husband and I would really like that.

I don't go out much and she doesn't go out at all anymore.

Thanks for the cookies.

You have to hold the bottom of the bag, because,

because it's greasy.

"Dear Miss Blanche Hudson.

"My mother told me to watch your old films.

"And I did.

"And I was..."

Frank, Frank.

I just went over there, right, and I brought her...

Jane!

Jane?

Jane, would you come up here, please?

What is it now?

Come here.

Jane, was that our nextdoor neighbor I heard?

You didn't wanna see her, did you?

I could've said hello.

When they moved in, you said they were gawking at you

in the backyard, you didn't wanna see anybody.

That was six months ago, I looked awful.

You don't look any better now.

Could you wash my hair?

Oh, do something different.

Do you remember when we were kids we used to go to the ocean

we'd get sandy and we'd come back and we'd get showered

and I'd do your hair and then you'd do mine.

Yes.

Why do you always try to hurt me?

I didn't say anything.

It's unfair.

It was just an accident, I've never blamed you.

I don't wanna talk about the accident.

I've never blamed you for anything.

Do you remember, at the beach, we would get

on Daddy's shoulders and one of us on one shoulder...

And he would walk out into the water as far as he could,

and the waves would hit us!

And then he'd fall and we'd laugh!

Oh, god, how we laughed.

Can I look?

Can I look? - Okay.

Okay.

What have you done?

What do you mean?

It's way too short.

No, it's not, I think it looks great.

It's awful, it's way too short!

What have you done?

You never think I do anything right!

Jane!

I'm sorry.

I'll even it out somehow, I'm sorry!

How'd you get in?

Miss Hudson told me where you keep the extra key.

Don't worry, I put it back.

Yeah?

Well, she was gettin' herself all pretty for ya.

Now you ruined it.

Yeah, well my schedule got all screwed up

on account I got a call back for that series.

Yeah, well, I've been there.

I wouldn't quit my day job just yet.

How're you doin' today, Blanche?

What happened to your hair?

I cut it.

Did you get your series?

Well, I got a call back.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Yeah, well, your sister didn't seem

to think it was any bid deal.

Oh, Dominick, you'll get that series, I know you will.

Thanks.

Alright.

Ready?

Up and over.

Blanche.

Did you talk to Dr. Shelby about your sister?

Not yet.

She's gettin' worse, you know.

Saw an open bottle of vodka downstairs.

You know, the doctor said she might do somethin' crazy

if she started drinkin' again.

I thought she was getting better.

Yeah.

Well, she's not.

I found this on the floor downstairs.

What ever made her do this?

Sick mind, that's the kind of stuff you see

scratched on public toilets.

She's perverted a lovely fan letter.

- Mm-hm, reads like hate mail. - But why?

Like I said, nuts-oh.

Maybe she knows about you sellin' the house.

She couldn't.

Your health drink!

Right on time.

I'm gonna put a contract out on that mutt.

Doesn't bother me.

Hey, Bruno, you wanna strangle it?

I'll give you $10.

Dominick, and I don't mistreat animals.

Oh, I forgot, you have principles.

I'll give you 20.

She's not kiddin', you know.

You won't change your mind?

There are two rooms for you in the new house.

You keep your word, I'll keep mine.

Gotta find a place that'll take care

of your sister properly.

I will, today, I'll call Dr. Shelby.

What?

My sister said what?

Now you listen to me, our credit is good all over town.

So when I hang up from you, I am gonna call another

liquor store and order a case of vodka or maybe two,

because you are really bugging me,

and I do not like your attitude.

You've got five seconds to decide.

Oh, good, thank you.

Usual order, thank you.

That feely-touchy stuff you do up there,

is it doing her any good?

Without the therapy, she'd waste away.

Maybe I'd better ship her off to Lourdes.

- That'd be a waste of time. - Oh, yeah, that's right.

A lot of charlatans around who say they're doing good,

when really they're just stealing from nice people,

when they are supposed to be helping them.

Miss Hudson wants to know

when the cleaning people are comin' back.

A couple weeks, when are you comin' back?

I don't know, hard for me to set a time,

what with my call backs.

Oh, I see, so you're just gonna pop in whenever

you want to, even if it's not convenient to me, huh?

Oh, sure, hell, you do what you want!

You just come by whenever you want.

As long as we're still here!

Thank you, darling.

Thank you.

Room service.

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

? Someone is falling asleep tonight ?

? Sandman, I'm talkin' to you ?

? This little girl ?

? Has just turned out her light ?

? Make sure her dreams ?

? Are a colorful sight ?

? Take all the fears ?

? From her bedside tonight ?

? Tomorrow ?

? Is not far away ?

? Sandman will help you to sleep tonight ?

? But there's one thing I want you to know ?

? My little girl ?

? I love you so much ?

? I'll always be there ?

? When you need me to touch ?

? My ?

? Little ?

? Will go with you ?

? Protect you and such ?

? See you in the morning's day ?

I'm not so dumb, you know, when I've had a few,

I may not drive straight, have accidents...

I never said that you did...

I may not drive straight, but I can still think straight.

What're you getting at?

You thought I didn't know about you selling the house,

but I did, I know everything you do.

First you get rid of the house and then you get rid of me.

Jane, I didn't want to upset you.

This house is so expensive.

Some of my investments haven't worked out.

I just thought that... - Yeah I bet you just thought.

I got a letter from my business manager and he said that...

No, you didn't, I get the mail first.

Oh, well, maybe it was a telephone call, I don't remember.

Liar.

You're just a liar, you always were a liar, Blanche.

I'll telephone your business manager downstairs.

I wouldn't want you to tire yourself with so much talking.

When I was a little girl, I was a big star.

A bigger star than you ever were,

and I didn't have to kiss a lot of wet sloppy mouths either.

My money bought this house and always remember

that my money got you started.

Miss Big Fat Rotten-Movie Star.

Hey, what you gonna do about that damn dog?

The barking bother you?

Yeah, it bothers me and bothers my sister, too.

Well, we were thinking about obedience school.

You better do more than think about it.

- We're looking at several. - Well, look harder.

Make it a quest.

Hm, Blanche Hudson movie, I wouldn't.

Do you have machines here?

- Video machines? - Yeah!

- No. - Well, where can I get one?

Beats me, try the Yellow Pages.

You try the Yellow Pages, make a list for the customer.

Go on, go on, go on!

Um, excuse me, I was wondering.

Do you have any Baby Jane Hudson films here?

Blanche Hudson, I'm sorry, I wish we did.

- You remember them? - Sure I do.

Northern Outpost, there was a whole series of Outpost films.

Trail Through the Pine, no, Trail Through the Trees.

Now, what was that song she sang in Northern Outpost?

I always identified her with that song.

It was sort of a lullaby.

? Tomorrow's not far away ?

You're Baby Jane Hudson.

Yeah.

I'm honored.

I'm Billy Korn, with a K.

Hello, Billy.

See, I was planning, um,

one day soon I'm gonna get my career goin' again,

and I thought that if I could look at some of my old films...

I thought big movie stars had screening rooms

right in their homes. - Oh, I do!

Daddy built me an underground movie theater, but the prints'

all scratchy and since they put my sister's films on tape,

I figured that they'd put mine on, too.

Seems they didn't!

Oh, Miss Hudson, if I can get Braindead over there

to look after things, can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Gotta go home.

Well, uh, there's some right over there.

I'll pour us two cups and walk you to your car.

I've been out here for a long time now.

It's just starting to pay off.

I've gave up on agents, I'm a personal manager now,

for myself and a couple other clients.

I figure I can sell myself better than anybody else.

Got some good contacts, too.

So, just, uh,

what did you mean about getting your career going again?

Well, I haven't really thought about it.

Maybe a one-woman show?

Could do a couple of songs from the early films,

and there was a song that I recorded with my sister.

That was real popular. - There Should Be Love.

I've got the score on an old album.

Music was second nature to me.

Hell, I've done everything, I've booked acts,

written acts, choreographed, accompanied.

- You've done all that? - Sure!

You know the business, boom or bust.

I had a bad year, got overextended, so here I am.

You gotta pay the rent, but I'll get it together.

Thanks, Billy.

You know, maybe we oughta talk.

I know your work, I know what you can do.

I bet I could create something we'd both be proud of.

Really?

Can I call you?

Yeah.

Yeah, you can call me.

Here.

Why not?

Hello.

It's Blanche, Blanche Hudson, can I speak to Dr. Shelby?

You've gotta help me, I've got to speak to him.

Well, interrupt him!

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, it's an emergency.

Come on, come on.

Dr. Shelby?

Yes, it's about Jane, she's drinking again.

She's hostile, she's...

Well, I don't know if she's taking her pills.

Not yet, she isn't violent yet, but she's unbalanced.

I'm frightened.

Could you come over, please, could you come over here?

Oh, thank you.

Bye.

You are trying to get them to take me away!

No, I'm not.

No, Jane, I had to make, my legs, they're so bad.

The circulation's so bad, I had to get a prescription.

Yes, a prescription for me, you mean,

'cause you wanna keep me doped up!

Oh, Jane, you know those pills help you.

I know what you and Dr. Shelby have planned!

No, we weren't planning anything.

Stop lying, will you stop lying, Blanche!

Stop lying! - I'm not!

I'm just trying to remind you, Jane, that when you do take

those pills, you know, you're not so neurotic or paranoid,

and you're not imagining that everyone's trying to lock you

up or put you away, you know?

A chemical imbalance, it's very common.

Oh, god, you are so lucky there is something you can take

that will help you.

Oh, god, you're so lucky there's something

you can take to help you.

Yeah, that was very good, Blanche, that was a very sly

reworking of the shrink you played in Other Faces.

I'm gonna give you seven out of a possible 10

for performance and zip for originality.

You always were a personality actress, Blanche.

Same performance.

Different outfit.

I know that performance backwards.

Oh, hello, this is Blanche Hudson again, I'm sorry.

Is Dr. Shelby still there?

And you thought I couldn't act.

Oh, hello, Dr. Shelby.

Thank god I caught you in time.

I was feeling a little hysterical, that's all.

Being alone and all that, but Jane's here now and I'm fine.

Dr. Shelby!

Yes, Jane, I have Dr. Shelby on the phone.

I was feeling a little deserted, I'm alright now.

Thank you.

Help!

Help me!

Somebody help me, please!

Oh, help me, help me, help me, help!

Help, help, help!

When we were kids and I was still a star,

you had to depend on me.

The house, food, clothes on your back.

It all came from me and you hated me for that.

You never thanked me for anything.

I paid for your acting classes,

for Mother and Daddy's funeral.

I paid for everything.

And now you have to depend on me for everything again.

One thing I'm happy about, though.

Daddy died while I was still a star.

And you were still my stand-in.

See how funny life is, Blanche?

We're right back where we started.

Hello?

Miss Hudson, it's Billy Korn.

Oh, hello, Mr. Korn.

Please, call me Billy, Miss Hudson.

Oh, sorry, Billy.

If I call you Billy, you'll have to call me Jane.

Alright.

Jane.

I thought we should get together as soon as possible.

You know the business, time is money.

Yeah, well, how about right now?

No, tell you what, give me an hour, make it two?

Alright.

Yeah, you have my address, 168 North Plymouth.

Uh-huh, bye.

Jane.

It's good.

- Is the scarf new? - No.

But the belt is new.

Mrs. Trotter!

Mrs. Trotter!

Billy!

Billy, we want you to meet someone.

I can't, I've got an appointment.

But this is the boy I was telling you about!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hm.

Hi.

Remember this outfit?

Northern Outpost?

All the Outpost films, I wore this outfit.

Had it made years ago.

Put it on for you.

That was nice.

I just love these fine old homes.

This is what Hollywood used to be.

It was a wonderful time.

I could've been Ray Moland or Robert Taylor

taking my constitutional up your street.

I really felt like I was back in the 40s.

You didn't drive?

No, my car's with my mechanic.

Well, come into the living room.

Oh.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Now, this was your parents' house?

Oh, yeah, yeah, but I paid for it, you know,

with all the money that I earned, we all lived here,

but of course, it wasn't smart enough for my sister

when she became Miss High and Mighty, so she moved out.

Oh, she doesn't...

Oh, yeah, yeah!

But when I had my episode, she moved back in to take care

of me but now I'm taking care of her, isn't that somethin'?

Here, look here, it's Daddy.

- Oh. - Isn't that great?

Oh, I have all kinds, I've got cream cake and caramel.

I just love petit four, I usually buy half a dozen,

but I just limit myself to one a day.

Got these today.

Here.

Oh.

I'll try the, uh, the caramel.

Oh, this is Daddy's favorite chair.

I bought it for him.

Here, why don't you go ahead and help yourself.

I'll be right back, then you just join me

in the rehearsal room over there?

I'll be there.

- Who's downstairs? - It's none of your business.

Is it so hard to believe somebody would come to visit me?

What are you trying to do to me?

You mean what are you doing to me?

Listen to this damn buzzer for 20 years and I am sick of it.

Oh, you didn't want your dinner?

I made it just the way you like it.

Mm!

Onions and seasoning, this is good.

I'll save it for Tweak when he gets back

from obedience school.

What?

Yeah, ran into our nextdoor neighbor this afternoon,

and he says they found a dog school that takes rats.

I'm hungry!

Well, of course you're hungry,

you don't eat what I put out for you!

- You're trying to kill me. - No.

Yes, you are, you're trying to starve me to death!

You're frightened to eat!

I'm not trying to starve you to death.

That would be a silly thing to do.

Oh, yes, yes, it would, because if something happened

to me, something bad, there wouldn't be any money.

- Yeah, there'd be money. - Oh, but not for you!

Because they'd have to put you away somewhere,

and I wouldn't be there to sign the checks!

What do you think of that?

Yep.

Good.

Then you bring me some dinner.

I'm gonna have my career again, what do you think of that?

? My love will go with you ?

? Protect you and such ?

? I'll see you in the morning's day ?

? Tomorrow is not far away ?

You remembered.

And not a dry eye in the house, I'll bet.

They'll expect me to sing that.

It's a little dated.

Oh, what about a new arrangement?

Well, it's a lullaby, you can't really update that.

You know, we oughta get the business part out of the way

before we go on. - What business part?

You know, the ugly money part.

- What'll it cost? - Well, I wanna try it out.

Test it at a club, a cabaret, a showcase kind of thing.

That's when the agents come. - Really?

Do a couple of songs, 'cause that's all the time

they'll give us, you know, see what happens.

- Is that expensive? - It could run...

$1,000.

But that's for the spot, you know, advertising,

paying the lighting man, the costumes, arrangements,

choreography, everything.

If you want a little time, think it over?

- When could we do it? - When they got room.

The owner's a friend of mine, you want me to make a call?

Oh.

You know, this is the kind of break that could put us

both right over the top.

- Really? - Really.

Yeah, go ahead, you make that call, phone's in the hall!

There. - Okay.

Mrs. Trotter, this is your neighbor, Blanche Hudson.

I need your help, I'm unable to use the phone.

Could you please call Dr. Shelby for me?

His number is 555-6314.

And ask him to come over at once.

Please, don't tell my sister about this message.

For me, his number is 555-6314.

And ask him to come over at once.

Okay, I'll find out and I'll call you

later tonight, alright.

Look at this, Sword of Excellence award.

I won it when I was a little girl for the Outpost films.

Real nice.

Listen, Jane, I've got good news and bad news.

They want both you and your sister.

No, my sister's in a wheelchair, it's my act, not hers.

I'll talk to him.

I told you, Luther the owner's a friend of mine.

- Well, when do we do it? - Wednesday.

What? So soon?

I know almost all the songs already and the choreography.

Everything.

You could do Orphan of Love and, uh, There Should Be Love.

The music's on the piano, There Should Be Love.

Alright!

Okay.

Medium bounce.

Okay.

Again.

? There should be love ?

? Love should be there ?

? Not being scared ?

? Should be love ?

? There should be you ?

? You should be there ?

I did sing beautifully when I was very young.

I know.

I know.

It's okay.

Jane, you could lip-sync to the record.

- Who'd sing Blanche's part? - Oh.

We were on the record together!

Alright, oh!

Alright, we'll black out one side of the stage.

You'll be in a spotlight and Blanche's voice just

comes out of the darkness.

- Will that work? - Jane, you're a star.

Your sister's a star, they're after an event.

Now, let's give 'em one.

You leave it to Billy.

You're so nice.

Um...

Well, I hate to bring this up but I'm gonna need some money.

When?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Um...

Tomorrow I give you half?

That'll be fine.

Oh, I should be going.

I'll drive you, where do you live?

Oh, you just drop me in Hollywood.

Yeah?

Where do you want me to stop?

Just here?

Here?

Okay, so I'll come by tomorrow around 10,

and we could go to the bank together.

- What do they want? - No they don't want anything.

Go away, go on. - They scare me.

Jane, you go on home, alright, there's no reason

why you should ever have to see any of this, okay?

Go on, hey, get away from there.

Go on, Jane.

Jane, just drive off, just go home, go on.

I've gotta go out, important business.

Get you breakfast later.

Sorry, I'm in a rush.

My sister wants it all in cash today, she endorsed it.

Well, usually she deposits her monthly allowance.

If she doesn't, she normally calls us.

She endorsed it, there isn't a problem, is there?

No.

Wait just a moment.

Fine, how would you like that?

Big bills.

Okay.

Thank you.

You can just drop me right over here.

Yeah, just right around here, just right here.

Yeah, this is good, alright.

Okay. - I'll see ya.

I'll be over in just a little while,

and we'll have a rehearsal, alright?

Now, you know, Jane, they still want your sister

to be part of the act. - What do you mean, Billy?

We talked about it, you said... - Relax, no, relax, relax.

I told them, I told them. - You told me before that...

I told them Blanche was disabled.

You said before that they wanted her,

and I don't want her in it. - Jane, it's all fixed.

She's in a wheelchair, Billy.

Billy, she's in a wheelchair and I don't want her in there.

Jane, I fixed it, everything's okay, it's okay.

- It better be. - Yes.

Jane, Jane!

Jane?

Jane!

She's crazy.

Crazy.

Everything grows so fast here in California.

Especially all the weeds.

I wonder where I dropped this.

The winds that you have here in California are really

something, what are they called, they're something,

they happen in October, it's Spanish, it's...

Blanche?

Hello!

Jane?

Jane, Dominick.

What are you doing here?

Told me I could come whenever I want,

'cause of my crazy schedule.

- I don't remember. - Well, you did.

- She doesn't wanna see you. - What are you talking about?

Well...

She's got another therapist.

Well, nobody called me.

Oh, I know, I'm sorry, I should have.

What's the matter?

Well, nothing's the matter, you gotta go now.

You haven't been takin' your pills, have you?

None of your business!

Why are you so anxious to get rid of me?

I got things to do, I gotta rehearse!

So, rehearse.

I told you, she does not wanna see you.

Yeah I think I'll let her tell me that herself.

- This is my house! - It's half your house.

I'm gonna go talk to the other half, you calm down.

Jane.

Jane, come on, move.

- Hey, don't... - Move.

Blanche, Blanche?

Why'd you lock this door?

I don't have to tell you anything.

- Where's the key? - I don't have the key.

- Jane, give me that key. - I don't have it.

Hey, that's my purse, that's my personal things in there!

There's nothin' in there, I...

Blanche.

I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna get you up.

You stay right there, you understand me?

I warned you, Blanche.

I warned you something like this might happen.

It's okay, you're safe now.

I'm gonna take care of you just like I promised.

Hello?

- What are you doing here? - I was looking for you.

We had a rehearsal, you know, the side door's not locked.

And you weren't around,

I thought something might have happened to you.

What's the matter?

What about posters?

You said there'd be posters.

There's not enough time.

Posters are for the real gig, Wednesday night is about

reacquainting you with the public again.

It's for agents and casting people.

What about my dressing room?

The dressing rooms are already taken.

This is just a showcase.

You mean there's somebody else on the same bill?

I didn't know there'd be anybody on the same bill.

It's better having more than one on the same bill.

There's less pressure this way.

Jane, I know you're scared.

It's been a long time, but you're gonna be wonderful.

Jane, now do you believe me, hm?

You know, we don't have a lot of time, so do you think

you can pull yourself together enough to rehearse?

Jane?

Right, the Hudson sisters had a song together in the film

and that was "There Should Be Love," then... the spot on the curtain,

then the music... and... now.

Jane, Jane.

On the music, the intro is when you come down the stairs.

Right, come down now, yeah. ? There should be love ?

Change hands. ? Love should be there ?

Change, both hands, right, right, okay.

? Not feeling scared ? - Billy!

Okay, keep going, keep going.

She's not wearing that outfit.

No.

No, she's wearing the actual dress she wore in the film.

I've been hearing some things about

your Jane Hudson, did you get your money yet?

Had.

My back rent ate that up.

How many times have you done this?

When are you gonna learn? - Why?

What're you talking about?

She's crazy.

Tried to run down her sister after one of those Hollywood

parties, then she drove off, didn't see her for three days.

I bet she doesn't even remember doing it.

That's old news, cheap gossip.

That story's been around longer than you have.

Did you know that they found her shacked up

with an actor she was makin' a movie with?

So, what's so special about that?

She was drunk and crazy, a raving lunatic.

They had to lock up the silly broad in an asylum.

Her sister had her released.

Imagine that, after all she'd done to her.

Must be love, like the song says.

? There would be love, there would be love ?

? There should be love, there would be love ?

Blanche, what do you think?

Blanche?

Blanche.

What do you think?

Want some water, please, give me some water.

Oh, you always make trouble.

Here.

Here.

It's gonna be my second debut.

Wish me luck!

Hey!

That's not the entrance, lady!

That's for the talent!

I know that.

Billy?

Oh, excuse me, I'm looking for Billy Korn.

Shh.

- I'm looking for my manager. - Shh, shh, shh.

Oh, have you seen my manager?

Occupied.

- Billy? - Oh, Jane, thank god.

You're late, you're on next. - What?

- Got your props? - No!

Go get it, wait in the wings for your cue!

Okay.

- One minute to go. - Okay.

- Here's your dummy mic. - I got it.

Uh, you hold this, right?

Oh.

- Are you okay? - Of course I'm okay.

Along the Way was made during the sixties.

It starred Blanche and Jane Hudson,

stars of different eras and sisters in real life.

They had a song together in the film,

and that song was There Should Be Love.

? There should be love ?

? Love should be there ?

? Not being scared ?

? Love ?

? There should be you ?

? You should be there ?

? With me to care ?

? Through your fears ?

? Where have you gone ?

? What have I done ?

? To make you run away from me ?

? One night with you ?

? Can make me see ?

? The one I want, the one I need ?

? There would be love ?

? There would be love ?

? There would be love ?

? There would be love ?

? There would be love ?

Jane, Jane. ? There would be love ?

- Keep going, Jane. - Love.

There should be love.

? There should be love ?

There should be love.

? There should be love ?

? Someone's falling asleep tonight ?

Jane, Jane.

? Sandman, I'm talking to you ?

? This little girl has just turned off her light ?

? Make sure her dreams are a colorful sight ?

? Chase all the fears from her bedside tonight ?

Get down from there, you're ridiculous.

Get out of here, scram, honey!

Papa.

When I see this, I feel like I'm there.

Like no time has passed.

I remember the woodsy sawdust smell of the set.

And also lamps that had been on too long.

And they smelled to me like wax melting.

And I can feel the hugs and I can hear the congratulations

everywhere I went 'cause I was so important then.

All of my pictures made money.

That's why they gave me this award.

Sword of Excellence, Best Child Actress, 1949.

Jane!

Jane?

Blanche Hudson.

What has she done to you?

Blanche?

I came back for the money you owe me, Jane.

What money?

It's not a lot of money, Jane.

Not to you, it isn't.

But it is to me.

Always about money, Blanche.

I need it badly, Jane.

If you don't have it, maybe we could work something out.

I wanna be your friend, Jane.

I consider myself a very good friend, am I right?

Billy.

Blanche?

Blanche, we can go away now.

Just like you wanted.

Everyone's gone.

They've all gone.

Do you hear me, Blanche?

Do you hear what I said?

We can go to the beach.

You like the beach, remember?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Say yes.

Yeah.

Gotta go now.

Gotta leave now.

The dark here.

It's always cold and dark.

Wanna see the sun.

Don't wanna be cold anymore.

Yeah.

Look what I got for you.

There.

Jane.

I'm thirsty, please.

Find someplace to get it.

Stop someone, please.

I need a doctor.

No, 'cause then they'll make me go away,

and I wanna stay with you.

I'm dying.

And I'll be alone.

Listen.

That night I was driving in the car and you weren't.

You were full of drink, full of dope and I hated you

because you had so much love when we were young

and you tried to keep me from having anything.

Do you remember we used to find bottles that were

all worn, smooth from the ocean?

They were like samphires and emeralds,

and that kind of stuff?

I liked that, those were the best times.

I lied to you, I cheated you.

I wanted you dead, I wanted to run you down.

No I was driving that car, Blanche, and I hurt you.

No, I was behind the wheel,

and you were too drunk.

No, that's not the way it was, Blanche.

I was...

Thrown out of the car and you were too drunk

and you were frightened and you ran away,

and when they found me, I let them believe

you did it and they found and you were frightened

and confused and I was lying by the car,

and they assumed you did it.

No.

What you thought...

You did...

I did.

To myself.

Because I wanted to hurt you.

You mean, all these years, we could've been friends?

- Here you are, okay. - Thanks!

There, I got us strawberry.

You like strawberry.

Here.

Jane.

I'm sorry.

I'm so very sorry.

Nose will get red in the sun.

Maybe we could live at the beach.

Miss?

Miss?

Is that your white Cadillac over there?

Yeah.

Are you Miss Hudson?

Yeah.

I'm Baby Jane Hudson and this is my sister, Blanche Hudson.

She's a movie star, too.

- See if she can talk. - Miss, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Miss.

- Call for an ambulance. - Right.

This is 14-23 requesting an ambulance, Venice Beach.

100 feet north of the pier.

It's a code three, we have a woman down.

Pulse is low, breathing shallow.

Yeah, we copy 14-23, what have you got?

That's code three, just north of Venice Pier.

We copy, 14-23.

You're gonna be alright, miss.

Miss Hudson!

Jane Hudson!

Papa!

Let's live at the beach.

Can we?
