Olivia made Bette look pretty ugly in this...


Bette has never been stunning but boy did she look bad in this film, and she was meant to be the younger and flirty sister and she looked way older than Olivia.

Anyone else notice this?

She sure looked different. I noticed her eyelashes, hair (which if you dyed dark would be a faux Joan Crawford style) and her teeth - which were noticeably askew. That makes me believe that's the look the creatives wanted. They saw daily rushes and approved them. She's by no means ugly; it's just what they went for. I think it works for this movie and her character/performance.
