BETTE DAVIS "AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT" (4/6) 

Her son is a wonderful man and a champion for his mother,unlike his sister.

Lovely to hear from her son, who seems stable and unlike BD Hyman, believable.

Just found part 4 of 6. What a wonderful and interesting story Bette Davis had. Thank you so much for sharing!

I know I would be proud of my mom if she was this fantastic movie star.my mom looks like Bette too!big hair and eyes!!

" THE CATERED AFFAIR ", is a brilliant movie tour de force by Davis and a movie never mentioned, co stars: Ernest Borgnine and a BRILLIANT Debbie REYNOLDS playing their daughter.

Yikes! Margo should probably have been her fourth or fifth Oscar...The Letter 1941?Absolutely!

Beyond the forest was fantastic, she owned that part: All about eve, while fantastic, was not the comeback, but an end to her larger than life roles- shed reached a summit and would seldom reach it again sadly, Baby jane being the exception....she became a "guest" in future films, with The Nanny and The Anniversary the only roles offered that gave full performances....she still shinned, but had such bad films to shine in, miss her

I loved Bette Davis in Jezebel.

Gary and Bette? Like a more theatrical Lucy and Desi! loved each other but couldn't live with each other in the end

All About Eve was a phenomenal role for Bette Davis and what should have been her 3rd Oscar was stolen from her. Baby Jane should have been her fourth!

:D Thanks for this! Bette was something, wasn't she?

It is so weird to hear how Bette Davis was like the Margo in “All About Eve,” because Bette said she and Gary split because he “married Margo” and not Bette.

In the early 1970s i was living in los Angeles i used to work for sears and my only hobbies were learning languages and buying movie stars paper back biographies i was told by this clerk in a book store in hollywood that Bette Davis was going to be at the bookstore during the weekend, i could not make it to the book store during that particular weekend so my only chance to meet one of my idols could not become a reality that particular saturday i asked my boss if i could take the day off and they say no that was one of most frustrating events in my (younger years) back then....

Reach out to the hurt people

I know Margo she went to one of my day prougrams

Betty Davies must’ve been a very hard woman to live with

4:55 man…

Yeah and this is exactly what`s wrong with casting Bette Davis in the role. Sure we CAN see alot of `your mother` in the role. I met Davis. Twice. I was a Plain Jane reporter AND a feminist too so Davis wasn`t alarmed and the claws didn`t come out. But to use Davis, who verged on the psychotic, as a role model for this part is insane. They`re turning the film into a play earmarked for the London stage and once again they`re nailing The Careerist by casting Gillian Anderson an actress similar in type (not however to say psychotic) in the lead role. Claudette Colbert was originally cast and if she had played it the part would have taken a different turn. True. Colbert was involved at the time in a hot affair with Dietrich but her brand of gayness was not the disfiguring kind. Davis`s was the disfiguring kind and she herself was disfigured by the men who couldn`t bear her genius and/or her success. The whole scenario of Divs (conceived and misrepresented by men) should be reevaluated and reconceived instead of repeating the Bi+ch narrative. I myself would like to have got the chance to direct the play. I certainly would break down the character and the scenario to show exactly how the Conspiracy Theory operates. Sick really because it`s an undeclared war against women. It`s been going on for centuries. It`s claimed many victims. And yet it continues unexpressed and unacknowledged. Why? Because there`s always the `Eve` character ready willing and able to nail the `Margo` character..to take her place, her man, her script, her role..everything!
