Woods is basically right I think: insofar as the idea of 'best' among film star actors makes sense so that *someone* has to be given the top slot, to that extent it's Davis (possibly by a healthy margin). And Now Voyager is a phenomenal film.
Although I agree with James Woods on a lot of what he says, he perhaps needs to refresh his memory of Katharine Hepburn in 'Summertime', a raw, visceral performance that is every bit as good as Bette's....heartache, passion....the emotion transcends mere mechanics and craft. Let's not squabble over who is best...it degrades both us and the actors we love and admire!
Hyperbole much, James? Bette Davis was ONE OF the greatest actresses of all time, certainly light years beyond James Woods, but certainly not "THE greatest". With so many great actors working prior to 1950 alone, it's virtually impossible to single any one actor out in that way. Now if you want to see one of Bette's finest, most understated performances, check out All This And Heaven Too.
I LOVE this!!! I agree with Mr. Woods on every point and he captures the beauty of that greatest of films and performances brilliantly. THANK YOU for posting this!!
If I thought I loved James Woods before, I certainley love him even more now! He is hilarious, intelligent, talented, classic (as Hades in Hercules haha), and he seems a very respectable man. How nice to know that there are modern day actors who can appreciate those beautiful stars that came before them. Than you James Woods! Thank you so much...for everything. And Bette Davis was indeed the only one who could play that role. She was incredible- a rare talent. R.I.P. Bette
"In a way that no actor of this generation or any other will ever touch if they stand on a step ladder and try to get near it!" - She was BRILLIANT!!! Bette was and still is QUEEN!
" There's Bette Davis and there's everybody else." James Woods well spoken. I can watch Now Voyager all day long. Bette is beyond the best. Absolutely love her.
Oh, he is so RIGHT. As much as any actor strives she really just had that something, whatever 'that something' is. But to tell the truth sometimes I wish for her she could have been happier. She had everything as an actress, and nothing really as a woman.
She was happy for the most part. And if you see all her late interviews (when she's already in her 80's) she's as charming and wonderful a woman as ever.
OH HE IS SOOOOO RIGHT!!!!!!!! I am constantly overwhelmed by the talent that was that woman!!! No words can describe how much I love her! To quote thewomaninthemoon "there never was nor ever will be a greater actor"!!! Thanks so much for this! I have a new found respect for James Woods! :)
if she still alive she will puff a cigarette on JAMES WOOD-

What Mr. Woods said about Bette is so true; Bette was a phenominal actress who was ahead of her time!
