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.

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...

Buy tickets here: http://www.dffla.org/926-2/ Showtime: Saturday 7/25. 5:00PM at the Regent Theater. “When Bette Met Mae" is a docudrama about the first encounter between two proto-feminists icons of Hollywood’s Golden Era – Bette Davis and Mae West. The meeting took place late in both of their careers, and contemporary look-alike actors are used to reenact the event. However, in what may be a cinematic first, the dialogue heard by the audience are the actual voices of Davis and West, which were secretly recorded at the time. The result is a fly-on-the-wall chance to eavesdrop on two of cinema’s most fascinating and celebrated figures, as they dish on the leading Hollywood and political movers-and-shakers of the day, the conversation getting more randy as the cocktails continue to pour.

Music video tribute to Bette Davis I filmed with my Super 8 camera in the 80's when Kim Carnes first recorded her hit recording of "Bette Davis Eyes."
Music video by Kim Carnes performing Bette Davis Eyes.
Kim Carnes' distinctively raspy, throaty voice graced one of the biggest hits of the '80s, the Grammy-winning smash "Bette Davis Eyes," which spent nine weeks on top of the Billboard charts in 1981. Carnes was born in Los Angeles on July 20, 1945, and during the '60s began writing songs for other artists while performing in local clubs and as a session vocalist. In 1966, she joined the popular folk group the New Christy Minstrels for a time, later leaving (along with husband/songwriting partner Dave Ellingson) to form the duo Kim & Dave. Thanks in part to her folk-music background, Carnes landed an acting role in the 1967 film C'Mon, Let's Live a Little, a folk-themed musical with a staunchly anti-radical viewpoint. In 1971, Carnes' "Sing Out for Jesus" was recorded by blues legend Big Ma...

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

Wrong
Would it be wrong to kiss?
Seeing I feel like this
Would it be wrong to try?
Wrong
Would it be wrong to stay?
Here in your arms this way
Under this starry sky?
If it is wrong
Then why were you sent to me
Why am I content to be
With you forever?
So
When I need you so much
And I have waited so long
It must be right, it can't be wrong
If it is wrong
Then why were you sent to me
Why am I content to be
With you forever?
So
When I need you so much
And I have waited so long
It must be right, it can't be wrong
