Ruth Elizabeth "Bette" Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989) was an American actress of film, television and theater. Regarded as one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, she was noted for her willingness to play unsympathetic, sardonic characters and was reputed for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.
After appearing in Broadway plays, Davis moved to Hollywood in 1930, but her early films for Universal Studios (and as loanout to other studios) were unsuccessful. She joined Warner Bros. in 1932 and established her career with several critically acclaimed performances. In 1937, she attempted to free herself from her contract and although she lost a well-publicized legal case, it marked the beginning of the most successful period of her career. Until the late 1940s, she was one of American cinema's most celebrated leading ladies, known for her forceful and intense style. Davis gained a reputation as a perfectionist who could be highly combative, and confrontations with studio executives, film directors and costars were often reported. Her forthright manner, clipped vocal style and ubiquitous cigarette contributed to a public persona, which has often been imitated and parodied.

I want to say that I'm a Bette Davis fan. I don't care for her daughter's opinion at all. I did read her book and I really didn't see anything bad that Bette Davis did toward her. The book seemed like a litany of petty grievances. That's my feeling anyway. By uploading this interview I'm not endorsing BD Hyman. I think people should be able to view it and make their own minds up. I usually don't offer up my own opinions on here but this time I though I would.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Music giant Al Coury. He may have been known as a music mogul to most, but I remember him more for shaping my childhood. As the former president of RSO records and it was pretty cool having Al give me my first LPs as a child. Some of theose were Saturday night Fever, Grease and THe Bee gees. What a way to win over an eight you old girl. Al was the president of RSO records. So no better person to turn me on to them. He also gave me that RSP band

The 1934 film was the first film to bring real critical success to its star Bette Davis. The film tells the story of a club-footed, sensitive artist Philip Carey (Leslie Howard), an Englishman who has been studying painting in Paris for four years, but is advised by his art teacher that his work is mediocre and second-rate, and that he lacks promise. So he returns to London, England to take up studies to become a medical doctor, but his older age and introspection make it difficult for him to keep up in his scholastic work. In England, he becomes infatuated - and then obsessed by a blonde, lower-class, slatternly and vulgar, Cockney-accented, illiterate tearoom waitress named Mildred Rogers (Bette Davis). He becomes preoccupied and smitten with her, even though she is disdainful of his c...
