  • From her first comment "wackable", Barbara Walters comes across as crude, crass and insulting. She has all the grace, sensitivity and respect for others of a hard, manipulative, old hooker. What a series of nasty questions designed to exploit this great lady for a bit of cheap sensationalist scandal and nastiness. What a contrast to the Calvert interviews.

    Bette Davis with her intelligence and wit even after all her troubles shows what a true lady is and what trash Walters is.

  • "who was mentally retarded.."....why do i find that wrong?

  • She looks completely different in this interview! She looks nothing like herself!

  • @mybigredlip Who cares? Not the retarded people. You know why? Because they're retarded and don't know any better.

  • @magyarwho Joan Crawford rigged it.

  • @samweezy

    Maybe you find it wrong because this is 2012. But when the interview occurred probably close to 30 yrs ago, retarded was an acceptable and polite term.

  • @mybigredlip

    Seriously? I don't know when this interview was, but Bette died in '89. Retarded was the polite term for what used to be called feeble minded years before that. It is no longer used, but it was a proper and polite term years ago.

  • smoking not doing her any harm its what probably killed her?

  • She had a stroke, which comes from blocked arteries, which cigarettes are known to do, but "Oh it doesn't seem to do me any harm". LOLZ Ok Bette...

  • @samweezy She didn't even say challenged, just retarded.

  • (cont'd) The fact that she published her book on Mother's Day, after Bette had a stroke, says two things, directly: One, she under-estimated her mother's strength. Two, She did it with the understanding that Bette was going to die, which shows how much of an opportunistic, attention whore she is. And anyone who writes their own version of ANY religion, as B.D. does today, shows that they see things as they want to see them, not based in reality. Regardless, we love Bette & always will. R.I.P.

  • I don't believe anything in B.D.'s book. She couldn't get over the fact that her mother was dedicated to working & still made time to be with her family. She claims that Bette never approved of her marriage, yet she signed the legal papers for her to marry at 16. Bette may not have been able to make her marriages work, but she always looked after her children & did what she could to provide for them. Which wasn't easy, as Bette was growing old & had to prove herself in a youth-obsessed industry
