I've loved this song ever since I heard it in the film Love Actually, and have always intended to use in a tribute. But it was only the other day that I thought it would be perfect for Bette Davis. In her films, Davis usually falls in love but due to her position, health or any other circumstances, she is prevented from having her happy ending. The theme of this video is looking back at life with experience and hindsight, yet still not understanding any of it. The song is 'Both Sides Now' by Joni Mitchell.

when an actress takes hold of a role and makes it her own, you cannot help but believe in the charecter herself and to feel what she feels, sees and thinks. That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what Bette Davis will be remembered for a hundred years from now. The greatest dramatic actress of her time.
Joni Mitchell actually wrote the song, but she didn't release her own version til later, and this is it yes :) Beautiful isn't it? I heard it in the movie Love Actually, and after listening to it a few times I was just like this is perfect for Bette. KZread wouldn't let me upload it for ages and I was so gutted, but they finally did so yay :) She is the greatest actress of all time. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Thank you so much :)
Great tribute I love Bette Davis All About Eve Now Voyager and Jeezebel are my favourites
Superb video I could have say it better.You are a wizard. Bette Davis is buried at Forest Lawn Burbank CA. Her mother is on the left side while her sister Bobbie is on the right side and Miss Davis is in the middle and her epitaph reads, "She did it the hard way." And she absolutely did it her own way. Davis was a "Force of Nature."
Miss Davis was unique and beautiful just like this wonderfully poignant and so lovingly put together tribute, I have come to expect no less from you now Claudia
What an awesome song and what a lovely tribute to Betty Davis. She was so beautiful and such a talented actress. God bless you dear Claudia. Your friend always, Melody
Always great to see Davis again. Thanks.
Just beautiful.... Thank you!
It is indeed Joni!!
Dear Claudia, your collage is just beautiful, I remember my youth when the tv program presented all the Diva,s films. Bette Davis was very special to me. Thank you, great job.
Soooo beautiful and brilliant! Claud, you match up better then Spielberg/Williams or Leone/Morricone!!!! :) ...we talked about this song and it just fits Bette so well with the scenes. Funny she won Oscars for Dangerous and Jezebel since I thought she equally if not more magnificent in Of Human Bondage, All About Eve, Mr Skeffington and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. I think I first saw her in The Virgin Queen and no one else could play Elizabeth twice as few were stronger in personality.
I just stumbled onto this site what a treasure. Thank you. Johnxx
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great choice of song ! Bett Davis was classy lady and amazing actress. This video is awesome !
Thank you - Bette was so multifaceted. You created such a beautiful homage to her with this video. Joni Mitchell wrote and sang the original version of "Both Sides Now" but, this version could have been made for your video. It really is perfect. Thank you again for sharing it with us. Peace to all.
SO glad they let this on now. The song and montage is so beautiful- Bette was a true legend and though the song might be a bit surprising to use for her, it fits perfectly.
What a kind comment, thank you so much Aneema! Really happy that you enjoyed it that much. It means a lot :) Best wishes to you, Claudia x
And so you did. And may I say that this is one thousand times more exquisite than any tribute I could have hoped for. I'm lost myself, in a sea of tears of love and appreciation. Your video is heart rending and the most touching, powerful tribute to The Greatest Actress of All Time, Ms Bette Davis. I simply wasn't prepared for this. Tears are rolling down my cheeks because what you have wrought here is deeply profound. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
So loving this....
You are awesome for creating this tribute to the One and Only Bette Davis!! Additionally, you chose one of my most revered musicians of all times; Joni Mitchell! I have goose bumps and tears watching AND listening to 2 of my most treasured and adored people!! Thank you so very much!!!
I hate the way everyone is called a star instantly, as Bette said, that title should be earnt. And as for the movies, there are still great films being churned out but there so many films I see today where I get frustrated because they have a great director, a great cast, a great story - but not a good script. So many films are let down by this :/
Good job. Thank you very much.
Joni Mitchell
Very touching, I have tears in my eyes! You don't see tribute like this very often, so awesome job.
iMovie is great, but I would really love FinalCutPro, you can do so much more but it's so expensive! Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much Ellen!!
Oh yes it is Joni singing this version of Both Sides Now... Undeniably!!! :) IMovie huh...would be fun to learn how to do that!!!
Awesome Tribute ! Great Footage, and Song ! Thanks for sharing, Claudia :-) Irene.
You are so right... Regarding your work here, I just want to thank you for this most beautiful tribute. I was looking for a video to represent beloved Bette best, to be added to my "All time favorites" playlist - and now I found it. Your video goes straight there, having Joni's glorious late version of "Both sides now" also in it is such a treat - no music could fit better... An icon for an icon. Many greetings and all the best for you! Aneema
What a lovely job you did making this video! Thank you for your time and effort in sharing this tribute.
This is absolutely incredible...sad, bittersweet, beautiful, charming...your song choice was absolutely perfect and just captured the essence of Bette Davis. She had such a strong presence. I just absolutely loved this, it was absolutely phenomenal. Your editing was beyond perfect, excellent work :)

This means a lot to me. Thank you so much :) xxx
Claudia a superb job! Intense and moving! I know this song, but I never had the opportunity to translate the lyrics. Now looking this marvel and have understood the words, I understand your choice. The lyrics is poetry and all that makes this video amazing! Great work!!
Oh Claudia, this is such a beautiful tribute....thanks so much for taking the time to make this video for us! Bette Davis was truly an amazing actress. Everything about this is perfect! Keep the videos coming, I love every single one of them. :)
Thank you very much :)
So happy YT finally allowed you to put this up. Great work, MS! =)
So happy that you're able to post this now
Thank you for that info however I'm very 'LD' (learning disabled) when it comes to my computer!! I look forward to continuing to watch your creations!!
... dito, nothing to add :-)
Oh and now I see you agree with me that Bette is the greatest :) Bravo! BTW, is this actually Joni Mitchell singing Both sides now? I ADORE this version.
With iMovie :)
How do you put these videos together??
:-)
I'm sorry to keep writing on and on about your presentations here, but I am just OVERCOME by the sheer beauty of what you have created. And I love how you closed this video by quoting Bette Davis, "Movies should be bigger than life". That's the problem with movies today, life is small, and shabby and ugly. And movies are even smaller, and shabbier, and uglier. What happened to our dreams?
