You are an actress AND a song "Bette Davis eyes" by Kim Carnes, met her and told her, if she now "is" a song - rock'n'roll ;) - her grandson learnt she is something important.
You are the best actress ever, Bette, love you so much! Thank you for posting, and
looking a bit smaller it seems to me one of her last public appearances ( 1982 ) before her terrible "annus horribilis" 1983 with mastectomie, stroke and broken hip-- but you are still here and forever!
Listen, i'm a 19 year old guy and i think she is absolutely beautiful. She's glowing! I love how she looks on the Dick Cavett show too, with the beret and glasses.. She's spectacular :) "But y'ar Blanche! Y'ar in that chair!" - They don't make them like her anymore.
@shawnanthony1992: And she was an actress AND a song. In 1981 performed Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes".She met and told her, her grandson learnt that with a "rock'n'roll" song she must have been soembody important.
Looking thinner must hve been one of her last public appearances before her "annus horribilis" 1983, before mastectomia, stroke and broken hip.But:always stood
Comparing to Joan Crawford (I'm a star!) she once said: M not a star, m an actress";)
"A great director gives the audience a new way of seeing the world". He did precisely that, and yet I am not convinced that the in which Mr. Capra saw the world was entirely new. I do believe that his view was as old as humanity, but one that people forget when life gets in the way.
@lorrainewands Nicely put. Your comment reminds me of something Jimmy Stewart said about It's A Wonderful Life which which was not a success when released but which, over the years, had become a holiday favorite. He said Capra would be touched to know that as he was so proud of the movie and was disappointed it was not a hit when released. Robert Osbourne, I think, chalked it up to WWII being over and a public intent on moving forward whereas this movie takes place in the past.
What a shallow person! Now that I am older and wiser. I see that Bette Davis was an obsessed BITCH! I take her daughter's side! I don't think she knew what a charity was or an underdog. She had it easy! That is the irony of her BULLSHIT saying, "I did it the hard way!" Fuck You Bette! YOU FOOL! You were WEAK! You don't fool me!
In response to the comment below. She loved that a song was named after her "Bette Davis eyes"song of the year 1981sang by Kim Carnes especially because her her grandsons thought it was so cool but...she wanted people to respect her for her acting ability and rightfully so.
What a great woman and actress! There will only be one Bette Davis, that's for sure. She did remind me of her character in "All About Eve". It may have been the hair. I wish I could of been alive to meet such a woman.
No actress could be as charming and witty as Bette Davis was. She has remained a Hollywood icon even since she passed away. I love her immensely! Her hairdo in this clip looks exactly what we see in "All About Eve". Too sad that she had remained a smoker throughout her career. She would not have had her stroke, which resulted in rapid aging of her apperance.
All of these wonderful actors are now sadly gone if not they are going. They were before the days of TV when you went to the movies and sat in the dark theatre and was caught up in the magic of that time and place without commecials. There will never be a time like that again it's all "Gone With The Wind" So all of their fans are also entering the twilight of their years. Oh But those were the days!!
This is brilliant, what a funny, charming side of Bette you don't often get to see! A great comic timing too, so poo to anyone who said she had no sense of humour!

You know, for an actress, Bette was never very good at speeches. Im surprised she looked at her notes so much and kept looking down. I would have thought she would have read it over so she could maintain eye contact! I thought she would have memorized it like a script...
