In light of Patti's remarks, here are some of the juiciest theater feuds of all time.

Of course another great one was Ruth Brown vs. Linda Hopkins backstage at Black and Blue.

Really Musto?  A reference to Ryan Murphy's series FEUD and hinting on the possible subject for next season when it's been known for months that Season 2 of FX's FEUD anthology is about Prince Charles and Diana?   Geez.

I don't understand this hatchet job on some very talented performers.  For what purpose?

Some of that wasn't very interesting, much like the comment Patti said about Madonna that inspired that write-up.

i love watching patti onstage. Its fun watching her always do monologues even if she is talking to someone.

About Feud's next season: Yes, people know that. It was a jokey reference. No one really thinks Barbara Cook being mad at Elaine Stritch for rustling through her bag during a song is actually going to be any season of Feud.

And "hatchet job"? To comment on mean diva behavior, plus Mandy Patinkin, Nicol Williamson and Geraldine  Page hitting people? (The last stories told by her own daughter). Hmm.
