That would be Ryan Murphy, the creator of FX and Fox hits from Nip/Tuck to Glee to People Vs. O.J. Not content with delving into Davis and Crawford's feud for eight hours in prime time, Murphy is doing as he did with the Horror and Crime franchises and turning Feud into an anthology. A recent luncheon at New York's Rainbow Room for Feud featured a panel with Murphy, Sarandon, Lange, Zeta-Jones, Shipka and executive producer Tim Minear. The discussion showed that the showbiz zeal and indulgence in camp that usually mark a Murphy production, Feud has more serious things to say, especially about ageism and sexism in Hollywood. In addition to Davis and Crawford, Zeta-Jones portrays Olivia de Haviland and other actors play the men running the town (like Tucci's Jack Warner) with a pronounced blind spot toward women.
