    Rivalry between 'divas' is not unusual. A lot has been written on the two famous actresses: Bernhardt and Duse. They say, the rivalry between the two has changed the way of acting.

    However, one thing is to read about it, another is to watch it live on the screen.
    "Playing to the Gods" is going to be a powerful, captivating movie. No doubt about that.

      we have such diva rivalries in our country as well and it is very interesting because one of them has served jail and was married to a war criminal, while the other one is a progressive liberal :)
