Bette Davis and Joan Crawford’s feuding and fighting relationship in the wonderfully entertaining FX Television mini-series FEUD from producer Ryan Murphy has sparked a renewed interest in the lives and work of these legendary stars of the silver screen.  It’s this interest that convinced us to focus our attention on these two extraordinary women and put together a fabulous collection of their images and artifacts as the Current Exhibit of our new website, WalterFilm.com.

We are pleased to announce that WalterFilm.com has a new website that makes shopping online not only a visual feast for the eyes, but easy and efficient for that person who just wants to browse or for the individual who has a clear idea of what they’re looking for and can search specifically for that topic.
