Who wrote the synopsis? A 7-year-old kid?


 * Tut tut, if you can do better, do so. And maybe it was a 7 year old! Satyricon uk 22:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I have amended the factual errors in the plot synposis, hopefully it appears more accurate now adriang913 13/02/07

Pictures
There seems to be a few pictures/photos missing from this article, can anyone fix these? I'm fairly new and still on a learning curve. Thank you. Roaming27 07:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello again Roaming! You picked the right place to put your request, however a helpme tag was not needed. Normally, the helpme tag is used to ask questions about Wikipedia and editing articles. For article requests, just putting them on the discussion page, or if you prefer finding images with free copyrights that you can use on the article are a good way to get started. --Skywolf talk/contribs 07:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Got a citation... not sure how to add it
I've never done this before, so go easy on me :)

The Vivien Leigh quote is in 'Bette & Joan - The Divine Feud', Page 377. Could someone either add it, or tell me how to? Paul E Nolan 14:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Paul, I'm still on a learning curve too. When I add a citation I type citation (without the spaces).  Then I add a reference or footnote section and add {-{-Reflist-}-} (remove the dashes). These codes will then automatically sequentially number the citations and put them in superscript. Roaming27 20:40, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Joan Crawford - fired?
I am actually, as I write this, watching a television special about this particular movie, and according to it, Joan Crawford was fired from the movie. To be more specific, I am watching a program on AMC called "Backstory"151.204.131.245 08:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)AR

A Joan Crawford chronology here pretty much tells the story in the section 1964. Static Universe talk 14:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This more recent Slate article says basically the same thing: Crawford was convinced Davis, who agreed to do the film only if she got to be a producer, was using her power in that position to undermine her (she was convinced Davis was the reason everyone left her behind on set on the last day of location shooting in Louisiana). She began feigning illness to delay production, but then got so good at it she successfully convinced herself that she was sick. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong, and pretty soon everyone got tired of this as well as her other diva behavior, and Aldrich decided to recast the part. Joan said later she only found out about this when she heard it on the radio. So it seems like there's something to this narrative. Daniel Case (talk) 23:54, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Addendum: it has taken ten years and change, but better late than never. I checked the cited TCM source, and it says nothing about anything in that graf; moreover, nothing in that graf about Crawford quitting is cited at all. So ... I'm replacing the graf with one sourced from Slate. Daniel Case (talk) 03:38, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Someone needs to work on this.
The beginning has some bits that are very opinionated, but I don't want to change it myself and take away what facts there are. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.14.72.182 (talk) 03:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

Victor Buono
I wrote in an edit summary: "Buono is in the 1927 prologue which does not feature Davis, not as bizarre a role as one might think". Not quite accurate, he also appears in two shots of a flashback/dream sequence with Davis' character as she appears in 1964, but not sufficiently inaccurate to resusitate the reference to the 24 year old Buono playing Bette Davis dad. In any case, a quick check reveals he must have been older when the film was shot; it was released in America on Christmas Eve 1964 and Buono was born 3 February 1938. Incidentally, I am assuming the figure of Charlotte Hollis one sees in the prologue was played by a stand in, one does not see her face, but imdb gives no credit.

Critical reception
The section headed "critical reception" cites contemporary reviews from the NY Times and Variety, a current listing from Time Out London, and evaluations by Judith Crist and Kenneth Tynan. One of these things is not like the others.Mstarli (talk) 03:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Title
Nitpick: I think the current title is wrong in two ways: 1) following WP:ELLIPSIS, it should not use the charcter "…" (Alt+KP0133 in Windows, &amp;hellip; in HTML), but three unspaced dots "..."; 2) there should be no space between the three dots and the following "Hush". Most sources in this article confirm this usage; Variety doesn't. Thus, the title should be Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:03, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

This really happened or are only in the series?
This seems to be taken from the plot of the 7th episode of Feud:

"Aware of this, Crawford was convinced that Davis was trying to undermine her in retaliation for the Oscar-night humiliation. Her suspicions only increased when no one came to pick her up at the airport in Baton Rouge for film's principal photography location shooting. Davis was in fact making crew members decide whether they were with her or Crawford, and wound up with support even from those who had known and worked with Crawford for a long time due to her imperious behavior on the shoot. On the last day of filming on location, Crawford, who had gone back to her trailer and fallen asleep there in case she was needed for anything extra, awoke to find everyone had left her behind, having gone back to the hotel after wrapping.[6]

''Crawford was convinced Davis had engineered this, and upon returning to Hollywood where production was to continue on set announced after one day that she was sick—at first a ploy to get changes made to the script, but then she actually convinced herself she was sick. Production was mostly suspended to allow her to recover, and she returned for a day, but then after two months, during which a private investigator trailed her to see whether she was really sick or not, the producers were told that either Crawford would be replaced or the production would be canceled. After Aldrich spent four days at Olivia de Havilland's home in Switzerland, she agreed to take the part. Crawford later complained that she only learned of her firing during the news on the radio.[6]"''

This is true by any other source?!--88marcus (talk) 00:35, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
