Wicked Stepmother "Meeting Miranda"

Jenny (Colleen Camp) meets her new stepmother, Miranda (Bette Davis).

These are scenes from Bette Davis' last film, "Wicked Stepmother". Miss Davis left the movie shortly after filming began, leaving about 11 minutes of footage and an unusable script. The director/writer, Larry Cohen, then had to re-write the screenplay to explain her absence.

Despite how bad she looks in this, Bette Davis never wanted to stop working. She died in October 1989 but until the final hospitalization, she stood on her own two feet, always. Cohen took heat for how bad she looked in Wicked Stepmother, but he defended himself: 'Everybody else is giving Bette awards and interviews and tributes; I gave her the one thing she really wanted to the end - work.'

she obviously didn't know the meaning of retiring. at her age, she shouldn't have done any movie they offered her but one to end her career on. The Whales of August should've been her swan song, not his garbage. she looks like a corpse and her acting is as wooden as petrified wood.

The first thing that comes to mind is a combination of Margo Channing and Baby Jane. I really admire Bette, working up until the very end. She loved her work and Bette we still love you.

Only Bette Davis could make a character thrive with humor and grace despite a horrible script and supporting cast. This role is a testament to her genius!

She was so funny in this movie!!

[Bettedavislover1005]

Miss Davis was furious he kept her in this movie

[MajesticAngelX]

I saw this movie when I was really little and thought it was brilliant! I couldn't believe it when years later I found out that it wasn't very well liked - at all - and that it was Bette Davis's final film... I'd love to get the DVD

OMG the poor woman looked like death itself. How she managed to film as little as she did is a mystery to me. Poor thing.

[dumbasaboxofhair]

fuck what anyone says! bette was true star until the end!

[MasterMacabre13th]

@DisasterFlicks Actually, I think no matter what movie it was, her determination for her career made it amazing. The only thing that ever kept this woman from going on any longer was her own death. I think she deserves so much more then "her acting is as wooden as petrified wood"

God the daughter is such a cunt. I hope Bette Davis kills her in the end.
