Vintage Bette Davis

ms. davis explains how she really feels about faye dunaway on the johnny carson show.

i'm not sure when the clip is from but her bio lists her as doing carson in 1983, 1986 and 1988. judging from her fashion, i would guess it is either 1986 or 1988.

does she have her confused with joan crawford?

I like it when she questions why the audience is laughing. She always said exactly what she meant - we could use more like that now.

". . . clutched to her bosom"

Thank you so much for these! They are the true definition of the word "priceless."

Wonderful!!!What a gal, What an Actress!!!

I have to agree with her re: Baby JANE. She should have won. Bancroft was okay in MIRACLE WORKER, but she spends too much time stiriving for the effects rather than creating a character. I never forget that I'm watching an actress play a part. This is long been Bancroft's problem--she can never fully integrate herself into a character so we marvel at Bancroft's acting rather than become absorbed in the character. There are moments though in THE GRADUATE where I feel she disappears and a character emerges.

As for Davis, her role in BABY JANE? is extremely difficult. She has to hit so many different emotions sometimes simultaneously. Davis disappears into this character and she builds a monster that is alternately heartbreaking and vicious. I would have given the Oscar to Davis.

Isn't it a shame that we don't have movie stars like Bette Davis? What a loss.
