Westwood, CA, 1982 ~ Missing Tower!! Videographers: John Franzblau & Steve Jacobs Elstein Produced and Hosted by Steve Jacobs Elstein Joan Rivers @ Tower signing her album: • Joan Rivers at Tower R...
I was lucky enough to have met Miss Davis when this album came out. It was nothing like the event in the video! It was held at a very small record shop and hardly anyone came. I knew that she was disappointed, but it was heaven for me because I got to talk to her, shake her hand and get my album autographed, plus she said I could stay and ask her more questions if I wanted to. It was a dream come true for this Bette Davis fan!
When I was a baby my grandmother took my mother and me to Macys to meet Joan Crawford, she was signing copies of her book and my grandmother was head of her fan club on the east coast and remained good friends with her for over 18 years.
Bette Davis gave so much to her fans and it is so thrilling to see how enthusiastic these lucky fans were to give something back in return. She wrote lovingly about this great day in her book "This 'n That", but I never thought I'd get to see footage from the event and I truly cannot tell you how grateful I am. Thank you so much for making and posting this truly PRICELESS piece!
Those guys at 2:27 are adorable, the bearded guy is a truly devoted fan and his brunette pal is super cute (love the way his shoulders raise at one point in excitement). I hope they are still around and well and hope they got to see it; if it aired on a school television they may not have, hopefully it was also on cable access.
I wish I could have seen her reaction when the guy asked her to sign that poster with Miriam Hopkins on it. It has become well known that Davis and Hopkins DESPISED each other!
So great! Thank you for posting. I was on the cusp of 16 that year, living in the SF Valley, altogether sheltered (for a few more years at least...LOL) I would have loved to camp out and CAMP IT OUT with that group. The sweethearts knew a legend when they saw one. Loved the Tower employee's "What A Dump!" tee.
Yesterday was Bette Davis day on TCM, I watched The Great Lie, which I never saw before with Mary Astor it was very good. She’s always been my favorite love Davis.❤️
I love ❤️ this capsule times, kind of sad at the same time, to think that some of the people, so fresh & young that evening are already dead 😓😓😓 ahh nostalgia sweet nostalgia😔😔😔
By the time I got to her she'd already overstayed her time, and there were still dozens of people behind me. What's really sad is what a ghost town Westwood Village is now.
Oh, my Godness. She was signing them up but she wasn't smoking! To see that woman in mortal flesh without a cigarette in her mouth must have been very very disappointed
Really? I didn't see that on the Video. Thanks so much for your information. Shall I fasten my seat belt? It looks like going to be a bumpy night! Greetings from Spain.

@@sharksport01 The only country singing Bette Davis was when she recorded a duet with her sister Skeeter lol. Actually, Bette had just topped the rock charts, not by singing but by proxy thanks to Kim Carnes. Bette's actual album was "classic pop" singing mainly from her great era the 1940's and/or her films.
Yes I realized that 😊 that's why I added LOL. I couldn't resist adding to the kidding since there was a Betty Davis who had a number one country hit singing with the more famous Skeeter Davis in the duet The Davis Sisters . Cheers!
@ 2:28 boy they knew how to hide it but the talk gives it away...he’s got the beard going on and the average person would have never guessed, back then!
The song is Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes. The interviewer is me at 19 y.o. and this was shot for the news service at Beverly Hills High's TV station.
@@ForTheBoys Thanks for answering! Great! Ah! I've rarely heard that song. Never knew its name though I've seen its name around. Where and WHEN did you get the footage?
