Almost 20 years ago, "Feud," her FX drama that chronicles the rivalry between Hollywood icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
Not only was the rumor about Sarandon and Roberts false -- it was created as a marketing gimmick, by Sarandon's own publicist:
Press printed that Julia & I hated each other during Stepmom. Found out it was my PR person creating rumors. #FeudFXhttps://t.co/kBfJXz3pOo

At the time, both actresses denied the rumors in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "If you make a movie with a male star everyone assumes you're f**king," Sarandon said. "If it's a female star, everyone assumes you're fighting."
And that hasn't changed, even two decades later, as Sarandon noted is happening with her "Feud" co-star Jessica Lange:
The #1 question I get in interviews is whether Jessica & I get along. Jess & I not only got along great during filming, we're now dating

...I mean, staying in touch. She's one of the reasons I agreed to do the series. Working with brilliant actors only makes you better. #FeudFX https://t.co/dTcqYhbthU
