BETTE DAVIS "STRANDED" 1957 (1/3)

MISS BETTE DAVIS gives a memorable dramatic performance in Stranded, a suspenseful episode of the anthology TV series Telephone Time that was broadcast on May 9th, 1957 and based on a true story. Although Bette Davis was not fond of the finished product, her fans will cherish this most accurate portrayal of what Bette Davis might have been like as a schoolteacher forced to protect her children against the forces of nature!

This chestnut of TVs Golden Age was helmed by Allen H. Miner, who also directed Bette Davis and then-husband Gary Merrill in the pilot Paula, which became the Studio 57 episode The Starmaker.

Wishing a safe and enjoyable Winter 2010 to you all!

Bette looks like a fucked up crazy ass bitch here.

Especially when she stuck her fucked up crazy ass head in the car.

And that's the way i love this fucked up crazy ass bitch.

I am the daughter of the teacher Betty portrayed. Everything in the film did happen but, not all of it too Mom. They compiled the stories of several teachers who were in the storm, fron the mid west states. Mom did not take her students out into the storm. I am in the prosses of writing Moms story as told to my by her. She died two years ago at the young age of 92. She was a wonderful lady and teacher.

It is amazing the performance Ms. Davis could give in such a short period of time. A true classic of early television for which I thank you profoundly for sharing!
