"Where's my Bell Scotch, young man!!!" - That is what Miss Davis said to my husband when he worked in a Hollywood at a wine shop over the phone at 10 am in the morning. Wow!
Bette Davis always spoke proudly of her Daughter B.D. Its a shame B.D. turned on her mother and really raked her Mother over the coals. One good thing is that hollywood didnt make a film out of B.D's book.. I hope B.D. saved the money from that dreadful book.. Because she is now irrelevant and Bette's legendary status has remained in tact..
Bette Davis lived in Newton MA for like 2-3 years and the time she was there my great great aunt Judy was best friends with her and it was the time she was already famous and had been in stuff but she used to come over to my aunt's house and she used to go to her house and if you live in the area of newton centre bette lived on 393 Langley Road Newton Centre Massachusetts :)
I agree. I really thought that Davis would be number one! I was so upset that she didn't take the first spot. She was vastly superior to Hepburn (she was so much more versatile).
WE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE AND ABLE TO REMEMBER THIS INTERVIEW WHEN IT AIRED, WERE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO SAY WE WERE WATCHING A LIVING LEGEND.. VERY FEW HELD THAT TITLE LUCILLE BALL WAS ONE.. BETTE DAVIS IS INIMITABLE... SHE WAS A REAL CLASS ACT TOUGH HARD WORKING STAR.. NOTHING LIKE THESE HACKS WE HAVE TODAY..
@NFitalianGuy Thank you saying the truth.Your comment was right on the mark. Indeed, very few fall into this category. Today hardly any are actresses.Bette is an icon. Hollywood doesn't make them like this anymore. Yes, Lucille Ball was incredible and so beautiful in her early days way before TV.
Bette Davis really summed up her entire career when she said She never never ever satisfied with her work and that is why she is such a huge Star. She constantly strived to be even better. She was voted by AFI as the # 2 actress of the 20th Century. I think she is even better than Katherine Hepburn who was voted #1 by AFI.

omg Bette Davis was the under study for margo channing. I seriously can't imagine anyone but her playing that character. That role was made for her!
