Wicked Stepmother "Miranda's Cat"

Jenny (Colleen Camp) suspects her new stepmother (Bette Davis) of keeping a cat. This scene was Bette's final physical appearance in the film (and on screen, for that matter).

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.

I love this as a final Bette Davis movie. I think she liked the idea of going out as a witch. She never cared about looks, just crazy characters.

She was/is my hero as an American Actress.

Funny, I have a feeling Meryl Streep isn't too far from playing a Wicked Stepmother herself.

Bette realized her mistake about this film. That's why she left. I think the biggest mistake for Cohen was to convince her to look "Attractive". If she would have chosen a look similar to her last 2 films (As Summers Die and Whales of August) in which she appears as a woman of her age, i think it would have been better. Let's face it people. Work was her life. She couldn't function otherwise.
