Davis was all for it while Crawford was a little reluctant, but because it was for Life magazine she went along with it. Aldrich had a fake cemetery built a short distance away from the house and the photos were done in three to four sessions. The sessions were done during filming, and lasted for hours. Joan would be ready when Bette would be called away. Then when Bette returned, Joan would be gone, back in her trailer, with her clothes off, resting. She would take a long time getting ready. For the last session, Bette came back and Joan was missing, so Davis went to the back of the house to Crawfords dressing room, rapped on the door, stood outside and yelled, "Joan Crawford. Get your clothes on and come do these photographs, right away." Joan came hurtling out the door and the photographs were finished.
c.		In the cemetery scene, on the nearest tombstone, appear the set designers name, George Denes Suhayda.
