Since 2009, producer-director Murphy has had discussions with Susan Sarandon and Jessica Langeabout making the Davis and Crawford story into a movie, but because I hope I can dig deeper and explore more, so I haven't made it
.
Before running "The Enemy", Murphy realized that the company was not doing enough for women, so he established a "Half the Sky Foundation" in the company. Make sure that half of the company's management is female, and half of the cast and crew must also be female. During the execution, he asked a lot of women how to better represent women, and their answers touched Murphy. Since then, he has been running "The Enemy", and he thought of having a script "Best Actress" in his hand, It tells the story of Davis and Crawford filming "What Ever Happened to BabyJane?" But "Best Actress" focuses only on Davis and Crawford's controversial inconsistencies in "What Ever Happened to BabyJane?" and is very limited. Murphy sees an opportunity to expand the narrative, using Davis and Crawford's battle to examine issues of ageism and sexism, while also exploring the phenomenon of women who see success as their own and compete unfairly to crush their rivals. When he realized he could use "Best Actress" to realize his desire to film Davis and Crawford, Murphy proposed to the team and Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange and others to make the story into an eight-hour film. The series goes deep into women-related issues, sexism, ageism, and misogyny, and digs out the cultural mentality behind the "female star discord"
. This proposal has received positive responses from all parties
