BETTE DAVIS ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JOAN RIVERS PT3

[Pamelina1111]

Betty Davis scares the crap outta me!

[alrozz]

I think Betty loved her role to bash Joan Crawford in "What ever happened to baby jane"". Two fine actresses battle it out and the winner is> Betty Davis

[Shubael1809]

@alrozz WRONG. Bette Davis was a common bitch.  Crawford never lost her star quality and, in her prime, was one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the Silver Screen. Davis was always simply a character.

[exposednerve12]

@Shubael1809 - Bette Davis was a lady, though, something you could never say about Crawford. And there was nothing common about her!

[cadrolls]

@exposednerve12 Betty Davis and Joan Crawford were polar opposites, I agree. They were, however, the very best at what they were though. Betty Davis was one of the best actresses that has ever graced the big screen. Likewise, Joan Crawford was one of the best movie stars who has ever graced the big screen. Comparing the two is like comparing an apple to an orange. One of them, the best orange, the other, the best apple.

In their own right, they were legendary!

[TheForrestal]

@cadrolls

Good for you !! You have the class to give each of them the credit and compliment they deserve.

[dudler]

Hey bette aint smoking like a chimney like she usually dos in other interviews:)

[rockinrex]

I have just finished reading a book on her called Dark Victory, it said she left her two Oscars to Kathryn in her will. Kathryn auctioned them off. Bitch.

[funnylabels]

tatum o'neal?

[desaires12]

Miss BD..was just tooo MUCH !!!! what a great lady.

[FighterAttacks]

Why was she so amazing? I miss her, and I was 2 when she passed away ...

[DiabolicalAngel]

@FighterAttacks Me too! I take comfort in knowing we occupied the same planet for two years though haha.

[WellConditioned]

5:02 - Bette's laugh is hilarious!

[LaSerpentaCanta]

turned out a GENIUS performance and transformed a b movie character into one of the greatest film villains of all time, Baby Jane Hudson.

[LaSerpentaCanta]

I knew she was going to mention Baby Jane lol, I have a feeling Baby Jane is truly her favorite role, it was SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE, and she was of course robbed at the Oscars and it was such a special movie for her, I guess you could say it was the last true great role offered to her, and she made it great of course, but she also saw the acting potential in it, other actress would've just played it like it was, a b movie character, but she saw depth in it, in the tragedy of Baby Jane and she

[LaSerpentaCanta]

What is she talking about? did she had a stroke?

[maszlagma]

@LaSerpentaCanta Yes she did have one!

[NFitalianGuy]

Joan Rivers' career went in a much different direction after this show failed. I enjoyed this show when it aired in 1986-87 season on FOX. Joan looked good back then & her surgery now has her totally looking like a different person. Since then She adapted to the taste of or the lack of, today's audiences. But Joan showed her guests respect & she should've been Carson's replacement. Joan has rolled with the punches & went thru a lot after this show failed & Edgar's suicide she's a survivor.

[darrylhaynes]

who was the lady sitting next to miss davis?

[RottyAngel]

@darrylhaynes That is Kathryn Sermak who was Bette's personal assistant.

[mizzzlizzz02]

I love how all the guests smoke on these talk shows. So funny.

[rickw1100]

NONE BETTER,

[christyluvsmr]

wow! How pretty Joan is!

[TripFlorida]

props to Joan for giving Bette something to laugh out loud about at the end there...

[1212matt]

she had class, and a very mean sick daughter.

[lisuledda]

Grande

[dawnjones82]

an unusual sight to see joan being so polite!! lol

[soxmonki]

wow ... classic history here ... Bette was a true icon

[PJCoan]

WOW! This interview is such an inspiration! It makes me cry- this tough, ballsy woman who had been through it all(and I do mean ALL- cancer, stroke, that awful book her rotten, ungrateful daughter wrote) and still had grace, humor, and CLASS! I hope to God wherever I go in the end, I'll get the honor to meet this wonderful talented woman!

[luverdude]

Joan Rivers have bette davis in her show , Priceless*

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Bette sure did hang in there! If there's one thing I noticed it's that she never lost her wit, charm, or her wonderfully unique sense of humor. Bette was there at the very very top and to me she will always remain there. They just don't have actress like this anymore! And she's so vivacious and full of life! Bette had so much to give! A very great lady :) We love you Bette Davis!

[yaywhewclips242]

Too terrific talents!! Bette, what can U say? The BEST!! Joan a natural funny chick!!

[JollofSchnitzel]

What happened to Joan Rivers- she's so sweet and complimentary!!!

Now she's just a bitter crude old bag... Bette was still sweet with a stroke and two faced daughter- what's Joan's excuse?!

[uncoverbrother]

i guess she changed her schtick...i agree with yas

[Patrick3183]

she's behaving herself in Bette's presence.

[italoman9]

Joan was such a gracious host, here and on this show. Too bad she hadn't gone for a daytime talk show, I think her congeniality would've fit that time better, as compared with being late-night against Johnny et al.. Kudos to Bette...she was one tough broad and kept right on being that way after her stroke.

[cfronck]

@italoman9 She did. She won an emmy for daytime.

[dwlightfoot]

This is not the Tonight Show..it's the Late Show with Joan Rivers.

[OceanbornAngel]

Joan Rivers did substitute for Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show.

[dwlightfoot]

That is true, however this clip was not from Carson's tonight show.
