Originally broadcast on September 26th, 1996 on the Lifetime network, "Bette Davis: An Intimate Portrait" is one of the very best documentaries ever assembled on this remarkable woman, featuring rare and timeless interview footage alongside reminiscing from her closest friends and clips from her exhilarating body of screen work. Viewed in conjunction with 1982's "A Basically Benevolent Volcano" and 1993's "All About Bette", it completes the definitive documentary portrait of the life and career of The First Lady of the American Screen.
Narrated by Lauren Hutton, the documentary features interviews with, among others, close friend Robert Wagner, film critic Susan Granger, "Me & Jezebel" author & playwright Liz Fuller, personal assistant Vik Greenfield , and her beloved son and proudest achievement , Michael Merrill.
This clip was pulled due to a scene from "All About Eve" infringing upon 20th Century Fox's copyright. I sincerely apologize for this and hope the amended version will remain on RU-vid for my fellow fans of Bette to remember this greatest of stars, 23 years after her passing.
WE LOVE YOU MISS DAVIS!!!
