In 1917, "Baby Jane" Hudson, a spoiled and capricious child actress, performs in vaudeville theaters across the country with her father, who acts as manager and piano accompanist.

Jane's performance falls out of fashion, and her career declines as she descends into alcoholism; Blanche becomes an acclaimed Hollywood actress.

When Blanche's old films begin airing on television, renewing her popularity among her fans, Jane becomes increasingly jealous and resentful.
