If there's anyone who knows feuding actresses, it's Ryan Murphy.
The former "Glee" showrunner, who spent years trying to quell the bad blood between Lea Michele and Naya Rivera, is about to bring some of Hollywood's juiciest celebrity feuds to the small screen yet again.
On Thursday, FX announced it picked up Murphy's latest anthology franchise, "Feud." The first season stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon as legendary rivals Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and follows how the iconic actresses came to co-star in 1962's "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"
