I love everything about her. The greatest of all time. I moved to L.A. from Alabama in 1987 and met more than one famous person by impersonating Ms.Davis on the phone. I had seen her movies and interviews so many times that her vocal pattern became second nature to me. Maybe one day I can tell you a few Bette Davis stories. Thank you for keep her legend alive.
She’s just such a Hollywood Royalty. You see her here and she shows you why she is. She was a beautiful young woman. It’s too bad she didn’t realize how beautiful she really was. She’s always had those wonderful eyes.
so fascinating to listen to Bette talk ....she is totally honest and tells you so much with just a line or two....for example her wanting to work with Laughton more than anyone else......well it just happens i consider Laughton the best male actor ever and,,,,,now i know i am correct
What a difference between Bette Davis interview compared to Katharine Hepburn who periodically would make snide put down remarks to Cavett...love Bette Davis so interesting...not condescending or haughty.
She's so smart, honest, wickedly funny, and fascinating. Love her, her films AND interviews. Also, senators today could learn a great deal about their jobs from this man. I've never heard of him and don't if he's an R or a D, but it doesn't matter because he seems to have common sense, intelligence, and integrity along with knowing what his job truly requires of him. Bravo.
I love what Bette says about hot pants and trousers. I love her honesty and her point of view. These days an actress wouldn’t be allowed to state her conviction or opinion in that way on a chat show. She would be cancelled for stating an opinion which wasn’t politically correct. I miss the days when people said what they meant and meant what they said.
Today's talk shows are just marketing/sales platforms. After the monologue and some other opening bit, parades of celebrities are brought out to tell one agreed-upon anecdote and then to sell their movie, TV show or book, and that's that. Producers do pre-interviews and settle with the celeb or their agent or press person on what 'amusing' little story to tell and arrange the promotional opportunity. Dick Cavett's show was created as something different. Larry King's CNN show was the same type (although I like Cavett much better). Today, we can get interviews like these through some podcasts. RuPaul's now-discontinued podcast had a lot of really fascinating conversations with a broad array of people that lasted an hour or longer. I miss it. I would really love a revival of this type of interview format, but I just don't think it will happen because the talk-show-as-sales-platform model is too lucrative to pass up for the sake of good conversation.
@@cinematography1317I agree that Bette was better as an actress than Hepburn and yet Hepburn won more Oscars. But as we know, Oscars aren’t really the determining affirmation of greatness. Bette had a few Oscars stolen from her due to jealousy (eg; by Crawford who campaigned successfully against her in Baby Jane and she also should’ve won hands down for All About Eve) and the corruption and nepotistic/politicised nature of the industry. She just chewed up the scenery and was such a force of nature. I’ve heard it said that she “over acted” sometimes and yet to me, proper acting has that overdone quality about it sometimes. I call it mannerism. Bette was a mannerist and people nowadays who don’t understand this type of artistic expression call it “overdoing it.” But it’s not. She had a particular style of expression and performativity which you just don’t see today. Actors today are so consumed by “the method” and being authentic that they’ve forgotten that acting isn’t meant to be “authentic.” It’s acting! It’s make believe! It’s meant to be an interpretation and affectation of something human. Not the “actual” thing itself. Actors and actresses today are just “working actors” they’re not “actorial” enough. They’re just being a human in the street. If I want to see that I’ll just go watch someone walk across the street!!! It’s meant to be “a take” on someone walking across the street. An interpretation or mannerism of it.
A lot of stuff was said that Bette was one bad ass woman. Maybe she was, but with all the interviews I have watched over the years, she was really an intelligent, witty, funny, and "straight to the point" kind of woman. She was even charming and delightful contrary to what others say that she was feisty or bitchy. She was only condescending to people who were not at par with her professionalism like when she clashed with Faye Dunaway...
It’s hard to believe that she was 63 years of age here. Madonna’s current age. I guess alcohol and smoking affected her skin. Still one of the greatest actresses regardless.
