FACT: Bette Davis her self said in a 1987 interview that she adored Marilyn on the all about eve set, Bette said that she was a sweetheart and very stunning and thought she was a good actress for an up coming star. This move was made a decade after Bette Davis died, so you can tell if Bette was alive today she'd be pissed that they portayed her like this to Marilyn on this movie. I doubt that Bette said that.

I dont think this dialogue ever happened on the set of All about Eve.Ive seen some late interviews with Bette Davis and she was praising Monroe and her talent quite substantially.And Bette might have been arrogant but certainly not behaving like a bitch towards her co-stars.I picture her more like Katharine Hepburn in her early career.

This is such a load of crap. Besides being completely fabricated, people don't realize but back then rarely did anyone actually say fuck like people do nowadays. It wasn't thrown around in casual conversation. Davis was definitely temperamental but always for professional reasons. I hate when biofilms take such outrageous liberties with real people just for the sake of dramatic effect. What really happened is always more interesting.

@KURISUCHRIS99 That has to be true because even Vivien Leigh hated her, and she like Marilyn was a sweetheart. When Joan refused to play in Hush Hush Swwet Charlotte with Bette, the studios next pick was Vivien Leigh. Vivien stated, " I can get up in the morning and go to the studio to work with Joan Crawford, but NEVER Bette Davis."

i hope the director of this film gets bitch at for the rest of his life by Bette Davis's ghost.

eheheheh. Bete is perferfect

You see, maybe Bette got angry at Marilyn cause when Marilyn said that she saw her when "she was a kid", Bette maybe felt Marilyn was calling her old.

@officialdavideli Let's face it. Bette Davis comes from a time where celebrities cared a lot about keeping a good reputation. She might have said that, but would never want people to know she did.

Out of all the Marilyn bio-pics this really is one of the worst. And as much as I like Mira, her portrayal, particulary the voice is more like a parody. I understand why on certain words (most notably talent) she uses that unusual inflection. But it's as though she is playing the character Lorelie Lee (from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) instead of Marilyn where that inflection is noticed in Marilyn's performance.

[bettiep]

She did whatever she could to be famous. And she knew that her body was her best weapon to achieve that goal. She associated getting molested when she was young to being loved.

With Norma Jean here, they're showing u how Marilyn wrestled with both personas. And Bette was this way. She was a DIVA to the hilt. And a d^%n good actress at that.

[bettiep]

I think you guys are taking this movie a little TOO seriously. This movie is just showing you how these people were in real life. These actors just played everything UP to a higher degree. Marilyn DID WANT to be loved and she DID want to be famous so she could be loved.
