Summary

Discover the remarkable life of Bette Davis....

Free bonus inside!

Bette Davis didn’t fit the usual Hollywood image of beauty, but by sheer force of will she became one of the most famous and prominent actresses of the twentieth century. Her entire life was focused on her six-decades-long career. This invariably led to the loss of three husbands and estrangement from her oldest daughter.

Still, Bette Davis lived with few regrets. Her most famous movies, Jezebel, All About Eve, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? are still considered classics, discovered by a generation that wasn’t even born when the movies were made. Bette’s tombstone, which reads “She did it the hard way,” aptly sums up her life.

Discover a plethora of topics such as:

  • From acting school to Hollywood success
  • Bette’s first husband and the Oscar Award
  • A New England romance
  • The horror years
  • The feud with Joan Crawford
  • My mother’s keeper
  • And much more!

So if you want a concise and informative book on Bette Davis, then buy now!
