Yes there are so many classic films I saw as a child in the summer or Saturdays but now I live in Europe and never get to see them anymore. Classics nowadays seem to be considered from the 70s and 80's! Those are modern for my tastes! Just where can one find them now? Just a few are on KZread. I have bought some DVDs ( I have six of Bette Davis's) but I can't buy that many and many can't be found. I always wonder, where do people find them? There are so many videos on KZread that describe some old film or other and they say, make sure you watch it, don't miss it! Well, I' d love to, but how?

Her vocabulary. What a smart girl.

I love her style during the 70s. In all her interviews she looks like an absolute star.

When you think about great performances then Davis playing Margo Channing in 'all about eve' has to be the defining role. she played a 40 year old ageing star in a time when ageism was ten times worse than it is now. Now many women dont have children until they are 40 but then it was considered over the hill. She brought her whole life to that role and a gravitas to the character that is palpable in its intensity. BD you are a Star.

Bette was so sassy 4:25 :) When I was little I remember my great-grandmother used to watch all the old Bette Davis movies and she would always say 'They don't make em like her anymore' at the time being just a kid I never understood what my grandmother meant by that or why she was always watching those old black and white movies but now I'm older I totally get it. You don't see that type of elegance, charisma, style, talent or wit anymore. I'm 32 and I watch more of those old movies now than I do modern movies. Bette Davis was a class act and she was part of a golden generation of superstars we will never see again ✨

The world's greatest actress, the Queen of the silver screen Miss Bette Davis. RIP Ruth Elizabeth Davis, commonly known as Bette Davis 1908-1989)🎥🎬🎬🎬🍸👡💄👚👒

I love Bette Davis, she was truly inspirational and unique.

The moment she walked off coughing LMAO! "I've got to get out of here!" Bette was so hilarious!

Oh, this is just so wonderful to watch! Bette Davis is beyond compare and categorization as she was just magical. I easily rank her up there with Orson Welles, Agnes Moorehead and Katherine Hepburn for being the best guests to appear on any talk program and the ease with which they all had to converse about anything at all. They truly enjoyed life and people.

@MarthaMansbridge

4 жыл бұрын

@@lauriewinek2453 I agree - Hepburn was not fun to watch in an interview at all. Always felt she would at any moment jump up and tear off the hosts head and storm off. Snooty is the word. Great actress in her own way but snooty - her Cavett interview is a good example, there are clips of her 'off air' and she was clearly difficult and pretty characterless - I bet the crew were petrified of her. Then on air, she sat there with her feet on the table, almost in a 'defiant teenager' sort of way as if to prove a point through the whole interview that 'she could and therefore she would'. Davis was far too well mannered for that sort of behaviour, I've no doubt she could be a beast when making a picture if things were not being done right, why would she not be - as she always said, what goes up there on the screen stays there forever! Hepburn is very guarded, filtering everything she says in order to maintain the pretence. Davis visibly relaxes the more she can just be open, direct and herself. They are of course two very different women, they don't need to be compared but on the basis they are probably the only two of their kind from that era it's inevitable I guess. Doesn't;t detract from their very different, but equally worthy talents.

I was allowed to stay up late on Fridays as there was no school the next day. Baby Jane was my first Davis film I remember seeing, and after that I was hooked and I've been a fan ever since.

A QUEEN !

There is a segment where miss Davis is talking about jack warner when he told her to hang in there about the scripts she was offered & then warner tells her i found the most terrific story & script just for you i already bought it! , then she says ; "i bet it's a pip" then she went on talking about Olivia de Havilland going through a similar situation &so on ,i have cds & cassetes of Bette Davis movies &in this particular interview her voice sounds just exactly as she sounded when she was young in the 1930s what a terrific Actress she was &although she & Joan Crawford didn't like each other they were the greatest movie legends &icons of the silver screen& thanks to the magic of film they wiil live forever...

Great interview. Love her vim and vigor.

Wonderful person and actress. She was 63 years old here. Looks so healthy, despite being a smoker. Much healthier than I am at 58. Died at 81
