30's Bette Davis Tribute-A Smoke Dream, Sophisticated Lady

A 30's tribute to actress Bette Davis, in pictures and song. To the greatest actress Hollywood ever saw. Dedicated to the memory of 19 year old Mary, MissBetteDavisFan09 who died tragically yesterday, 6-22-10. We mourn our loss of a truly sophisticated young lady--and friend of all classic Hollywood lovers on youtube. She ran 9 actress channels! Her classic actress videos are superb! If it's any consolation, she is up in heaven now with her beloved Bette and all the rest. Just watch her Ava Gardner vid and feel the love she gives as she dedicates it to one of her fans! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7kvy-zRD-E

As I was uploading this video, I learned of her death. I respectfully dedicate it to her lasting loving memory as Bette was her favorite actress and inspiration. May she rest in peace. A beautiful angel, taken too soon.

Our youtube classic movie community has been shocked with the tragedy that has befallen our youngest and brightest star member, Mary. MissBetteDavisFan09 was our biggest promoter of classic screen actresses (running 9 actress channels) and her stunning montage videos are without peer. She was so kind & friendly & full of sunshine. Mary was only 19 when she died yesterday.She was one of our own and we miss her greatly!

Lillian Roth, sings the first song on this tribute. Lillian was the love interest for Zeppo Marx in "Animal Crackers, " the Marx brothers 2nd movie. I do love this tribute. I hope you will always remember these wonderful singers as well, especially our own "Personality Girl, "Annette Hanshaw, R.I.P. "Gone But Not Forgotten..."

I never saw any of Mary's videos, sorry to lose one so young.

On a side note, where do you get the film footage you use? You must have a huge collection of early movies. Still love those graphics you use.

Mary had such wonderful taste in actors and actresses.

I hope that she is acting with them all in heaven right now.

So glad that you added this video in tribute for Mary.

You did a beautiful job. I love the music. Bette Davis can never have too many tribute videos, so I made one too.
