Synopsis: Baby Jane Hudson was a child star in Vaudeville, with the looks of an angel and the temperament of a diva. The breadwinner for her family, she got all her father's love and attention, while little sister Blanche tagged along in the rear. When the girls grew up, Blanche became a famous movie actress while Jane's star faded and she played thankless roles in Blanche's pictures. Then came the auto accident--or was it an accident?--that left Blanche an invalid in a wheel chair, living in near isolation with Jane. When Blanche's movies start running on TV over two decades later, the uneasy truce between the sisters begins to fall apart as Jane's behavior grows stranger and more erratic. Blanche soon realizes that her life is in danger, but who can save her from Jane's watchful malevolence? The cleaning woman? The next door neighbor? The young man Jane hires to be the accompanist for what she dreams will be a brilliant comeback? Time will tell in this story of madness, love, hate, jealousy and death.
