To celebrate the 45th Anniversary of HUSHHUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE and to commemorate twenty years since Miss Daviss passing, as well as the last Solstice of the decade.
Film legends and lifelong friends Bette Davis & Olivia De Havilland appeared on the November 7th, 1964 episode of Hollywood Palace to promote what would be their final film together, HushHush, Sweet Charlotte and perform a dramatic reading that is truly unforgettable. The performance is a stunner, but be sure to watch what comes right after, when Bette and Olivia spoof Miss Daviss larger-than-life image with guest host Gene Barry!
HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE!!

What a great moment from two giants of their profession. The piece was done perfectly bu each & shows a hint of what each of these strong women must have been like to work with. Such pros - a one of a kind memory recalling a great age. Olivia replaced Joan Crawford in "Charlotte" when Crawford dropped out. Great clip!!!

@johnn.5033 7 лет назад

Seeing Olivia de Havilland and Bette Davis, two women who competed for roles at Warner Brothers way longer before Miss Crawford ever was at that particular studio, working together to promote the film they made that year "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" and to promote their respective careers warms my heart so much. Together people are stronger.

@BigBadassR 7 лет назад

They were best friends but with most women, who knows if that means much. Most women's friendship with other women are pretty interchangeable.

@glamdolly30 6 лет назад

What a cynical view of women you have! Women can have very deep, profound and supportive friendships with each other and when they unite they are a force to be reckoned with as we see here with Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland. Sadly the misogynistic media wants to portray women as rivals, it's called 'divide and rule'!

@ThePharaoho 7 лет назад

Muzik Queen Come on...Bette was making Joan's life a living hell on that set, particularly since she was also a producer on Charlotte. After they made Baby Jane, Davis vowed never to work with Crawford again, and she was determined in that!

@kjgammon1658 2 года назад

@@ThePharaoho Davis was never credited as the producer on that film. It was just a load of BS Aldrich did to get her to take the part. Same thing with Crawford. he was giving her top billing just to get her to sign on for the film. That movie would have more than doubled it's profit had Crawford starred in it. Pretty much a forgotten movie today.
