BETTE DAVIS SINGS I've Written A Letter To Daddy - Whatever Happened To Baby Jane 

This should’ve won the Oscar hands down. Her singing, dancing, and facial expressions are on point. She nailed this role

This is the saddest moment of the film. I feel compassion for Jane. She is a grown up woman acting as a little girl. We realised that Jane is completely insane in a horrible way. And the music helps a lot. The tune is supposed to be charming and sweet, and performing by Bette Davis becomes grotesque and poignant.

Victor Buono was brilliant in this scene without uttering a word.

Bette Davis was absolutely the best at playing insane people. Her follow up in Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte was another insane masterpiece.

Absolutely classic scene. Nobody could do nut case like Bette Davis. The guy playing piano; we've all been in his shoes - he's like: "Oh my God. WHAT did I get myself into?!?"

Bette Davis was such a brave actress. Her performance as Baby Jane would certainly be one of her bravest performances. Bette deserved an Oscar for this.

Bette Davis did her own makeup for 'Baby Jane.' The super stars of her era learned from the best studio makeup guys, so she was able to elaborate just how scary she would come across on the screen. The fact it was filmed in black & white served to intensify the madness. Thank director Robert Aldrich for giving Ms. Davis the freedom to exploit insanity. Just brilliant.

Between Bettie Davis singing, and the reactions by Joan Crawford and Victor Brono, this scene was brilliant all around.

Bette was once a gorgeous young thang who managed to stay relevant and keep her career moving later in life by scaring the shit outta people. One of the greats.

I'm obsessed with this movie! It's so thrilling without any gore!

This song is my favorite part of the movie, because it represents what Jane has gone through. We can feel how their father's death affected her, and how her life started going downhill after it

Such a sad moment in the film. A broken human being, who can't accept life had moved on, and the can only cling onto happier childhood times. Shattering.

The uncomfortable look on the pianists face drives the creep factor up even higher. This movie was disturbing without any gore or horror. A true classic.

Everyone’s saying “It’s so sad, she’s a grown woman acting like a little girl,” but when I was a teenager I wanted to do my makeup just like this! 😂 Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are such style and fashion icons! 🥰 Even dressed as “a little girl” she looks 10x more fashionable than most women, today! ❤

Because of The House Of Wax I'm terrified of this song lol but, Bette Davis will always be my all time favorite female actress

This character was the epitome of adult child syndrome at its darkest point. How I wish the academy would have given an Oscar to Bette Davis for this role. She was absolutely brilliant.

Victor Buono's reactions are priceless! One of the reasons he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor that year.

I grew up watching this movie, “What happened to baby Jane” with my mother, and now she’s gone.😢😢

When Aldrick show us the lights of the inexistent stage, he drags us into the scene, as crazy audience that is taking part to the show and to accept the crazyness of Jane.....Amazing masterpiece

Brilliant movie. Jane is very messed up, a person who lives in her own fantasies

The looks from the piano player are priceless.

I love Bette Davis. She's one of the best actresses to ever grace any screen or stage.

Joan Crawford's wtf look was hilarious.

Victor Buono's expressions almost steal the scene

I loved the hilarious expressions of Victor Buonos face. He really did a fine job on showing is utter misery in having to listen to and watch this spectacle of a horrible singer and dancer. If this were in real life he may have been thinking, If I have to perform with the likes of you my salary will have to be quadrupled!

The actor who played the pianist was excellent👍

Bette Davis!!!! Wonderful actress!!! Thanks Bette!!!

1:06 The Gesture of Jane in this moment Is like she Is really expecting to Her daddy to dance... But suddenly she realized he passed away a long time ago

Bette was robbed of the oscar for this... what injustice

I honestly felt sick watching this scene. I felt such compassion and such revulsion towards Jane as I watched and listened to her singing, I even shed a few tears for her. Insanity and the fear of being forgotten is horrible, but Bette Davis acted it so masterfully.

Amazing, Bette Davis never ceases to show her brilliance.

THE BEST ACTRESS-ACTOR ON THE PLANET.THEN AND NOW...

I really like her vocals. I didn't know people considered them to be unappealing. I adore this song

Bette Davis, so convincingly, playing a former star gone mad.

How many jaws dropped in movie theatres in 1962?

an incredible movie and two of the biggest stars to ever grace the Hollywood heavens...I revisit these performances at least once a year.

I love how it ends in silence instead of the applause if she sang it 45 years earlier

I just love Bette and Joan ❤❤

This was in House Of Wax movie, i love it 😍💖🤩

This film has fascinated me since I was around 10 yrs. old and saw it for the first time. It was summer break and I stayed up late and watched it with my Dad on Saturday late night movies which used to air on antenna channel 54 out of Vancouver, BC. I’m dating myself I know😂it was the late 80’s. And I instantly loved it. And from that night to every night I’ve ever watched it, with much flourish, Jane’s odd pronunciation and an exaggerated twirl, I end up singing that “written a letter to daddy” song for like a week...getting on the nerves of everyone around me but I can’t even help it 🤣

Most beautiful heartfelt melody to Daddies everywhere on Fathers' Day .

"Thete has always been something about this movie that I want to run away from, but I can't hide. Ever so often, I want to watch it again.....and again... There is cringing suspense, macabre madness, heart pounding pity, and murder without one spot of blood. Robert Aldrich had a Turkey and a Masterpiece both at the same time. You are left hanging till the very end about what really happened in the car accident shown at the beginning and why Blanche was in that chair. "BUT YOU ARE BLANCHE! YOU ARE IN THAT CHAIR"!

I saw this for the first time when I was 9 years old. It scared me into a panic; in my dark bedroom I was petrified to get out of the bed. I'm 64 now.

The looks on Victor Buono face are the best !!!! 🥀🤗

Jane was the epitome of a crazy psycho! And Davis did a splendid job of portraying. She got screwed out of an Oscar for this role.

I understand the character so well. When the suffering is so high losing your mind is the only way to be able to manage it 😢

this is one of the old movies my dad showed us as kids i always thought it was so cool. he passed away about a year ago. i miss him so much

To my Dad, miss you so much!!

My english Is scolastic. My linguage Is only italian. Excuse me of all american peaple and english peaple if i not writer vert well in english. Bette Davis my actress favorite. In Whatever happened to Baby Jane? She is extraordinarie. Bette Davis the most Great actress of cinema. In her generation many actress Great..... I love cinema...

“instead of a stamp I put kisses, the postman says that’s best to do” 🤣

I remember first seeing this scene in House of Wax (2005) as a kid lol

House of wax brought me here.

Each time I listen to this song, I was never able to get over the piano player's face as he played and felt like throwing up while he watched her dance... he looked like he was about to barf..

This might be looked at,as a campy film but such brilliant talent all around!! I agree betty Davis was robbed of an Oscar!

Joan Crawford's face is saying 'Davis is stealing this picture from me'.

Am I the only one who cries whenever they the song but appreciate the acting of Bette Davis

Am I the only who's afraid of aging like this? That's a damn sad scene.

This film immortalized the relationship between these two actresses, later revisited in Feud.

Reminds me of Dainty Jane's letter to Mama Rose in Gypsy when she says she dreamed she was an old, old woman still doing Baby Jane.

una de las mejores peliculas del cine estadounidense que he visto, una verdadera joya.

Considering Bette wasn't comfortable/confident that she could pull this song off as singing wasn't her strong point I think she absolutely nailed it!

Everyone should have a daddy like hers to sing to. What a talent. And this song rocks!

The way she sings ‘SAAAAAYING!’ cracks me up.

I love her siging in this it's not that it's the best siging because trust me it's not it's just her voice matches what the character is putting out as a innocent young child.

Jealousy stole a record breaking third best actress oscar award for Betty. In my book she was the FIRST to 3 OSCARS for best actress

Bette Davis Great actress, the most Great of the cinema. In this movie, and in this clip, She perfect in a woman Crazy, in a mental prision. She is baby in a adult Age....

Iconic

and the piano is in perfect tune

God she was iconic.

I recommend going to a piano bar and requesting this.

Still simply AMAZING!!! Love this part of the film

Hollywood had many great actresses but Eddie Davis will always be the queen of them all y'all she was happy to play Old or ugly or crazy or weird as long as it was a juicy role and she always made it Unforgettable and of course I love the brilliant reaction work here from Joan Crawford and Victor buono but hey that was back when giants walked this Earth

I think about this scene all the time.

Betty Davis is so funny andthe man playing the piano the faces he makes, makes me laugh

House of wax ( 2005 ) brought me here ! 😉

Such a great movie! Everything a story should be. Hilarious, sad, scary, and unpredictable.

Betty is at her greatest here and John Crawford and Victor blow nose reactions are priceless I think Betty is the greatest actress of all time because she would play old or ugly or crazy or anything as long as it was a juicy role and after seeing her play it you could never forget her because she was the ultimate film actors you can't do it

A beautiful soprano voice

I dedicate this song to our long lost father that abandoned us in young age! 😕

This is 2022 Covid saying goodbye to 2021 Covid.

Its not sad its chilling!Bette killed this scene when she sees her true older self!

When people say moments in shows like Real Housewives and Love Island are ‘iconic’, my heart bleeds for films like this.

Bette Davis should have won the Oscar for 1962...but that was a tough year for Best Actress! However, I'll wager that more people remember "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" than remember "The Miracle Worker"! Both are wonderful movies! Thanks for the upload!!

Bette nearly returned with her mother to New York in 1931 when the phone rang and the rest is history.

Bette Davis was a genius.

everything about this movie is phenomenal, most especially this scene.

The little look at 0:30 is just a perfect bit of acting by Victor Buono.

One of the greatest performances in the history of cinema!

Love this film! My Mama loved this film and we’d watch it together when I was a wee one. Haha I STILL love horror -suspense -thrillers thanks to Mom! ❤

Best Actresses of the 20th century god bless Bette Davis and Joan Crawford true stars and great Legends greatly and sadly missed ❤️ 🥰

Scary movie when i was a boy💯🎬 great part of movie history, and yes i think she should've won an oscar.⚖️🇺🇸🤫🙏🇬🇧 Rip to all of them, what time's they were🌟💯💪

At 1:16, Victor Buono is like, “What the hell am I doing here?”

Amazing cast Victor Bruno is awesome

Dad-Tea! Love her!

My all time favourite actress

An incredible movie! The subtlety, the nuances, the twist at the end. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

Joan Crawford and Betty Davis ❤ were so incredible in this movie!!!

Classic movie ...love it

This is a brilliant movie that holds up really well

This is one of our favorite scenes ever! Hilarious!
