Agnes Moorehead's performance


I love Agnes Moorehead what a terrific actress but she overacts in this film quite a lot and quite terribly compared to Maidie Norman in Baby Jane what a difference.

Joseph Cotten told his wife that Mary Astor gave a much better performance with Joan Crawford than Olivia de Havilland. I have a feeling that this was also the case with Agnes Moorehead.

The Golden Globes and the Academy Awards obviously felt Agnes gave a great performance but maybe they were a little wrong?

What do you think? Do you think Agnes Moorehead gave a much better performance with Joan Crawford than Olivia? Did Agnes deserve the golden globe and oscar nomination?

When I saw this, all I had to compare was Citizen Kane and Bewitched. I LOVED her in this role, including the hair.
