  • I don't get why people say here they are sorry of what age is doing to people ? It's natural. Nothing to feel sorry. She was the greatest and her advanced age made her woman you really want to respect. Elder should be treated with great respect. Sadly most of us forgot about that.

  • Bette the Great!!!

  • Una grande artista!

  • Truly amazing lady!!! Actors of any age can appreciate and learn from her memories of the past.

    After all that late age illness with 3 strokes and breast cancer, she continued to make public appearances and - make movies. She had no vanity. She still has no peers. A fighter to the end.

    I met her only once. she was as delightful as she was electrifying. A magical presence in a career that spanned 65 years. R.I.P.

  • She has still got that unmistakable voice. Who says that when we get old we have to hibernate - only cruel stupid people.

  • FABALOUS...THIS WOMAN,SIMPLY FABALOUS even in her prime age

  • Why do i love her so much ?

  • Like the continuous stings of a bee, every remark Bette Davis makes in this clip

    sounds effective and impressive. She was witty and attractive. Frail as she looks,

    her speech is coherent and she sounds alert. But I think she should have put a smaller microphone on the lapel of her jacket. Some people ridicule the way she holds the microphone.

  • @Miketayfan - Oh, you're so right! Well said. Well said!

  • What a wonderful slim and full in Her mind Bette!!!

    What memories!!!!

    Thankz for the video!!
