In 2017, Sarandon and Lange discussed playing the two actresses during the Golden Age of cinema.
“Women are viewed as a commodity more so than male actors,” Lange told PEOPLE at the time. “At a certain age, women are no longer considered a viable or a valuable part of the community — even if that’s when they may feel like they’re at the top of their game. And that’s not just in Hollywood.”
Sarandon, who played Davis, told PEOPLE she believed her onscreen inspiration was more successful than other aging actresses at the time becauseshe was never considered a traditional beauty.
“Bette was never considered beautiful. From the very first moment she went to Hollywood, she overheard someone say, ‘Who would want to have her in the picture?’ They tried to bleach her hair and do things to her, but she was just the odd woman out,” says Sarandon. “But that meant she had an advantage because she uglified herself even when she was younger. It’s easier to be a character actor and age and continue to work. I think I’ve benefited from being a character actor in the same way.”
