Well & truly said!

I had a Bette Davis box set (my favourite actress) which I lent to a friend -- when I asked if she'd finished watching them she said: "Oh I gave it to Pat as I thought she would see you before I did" When I asked Pat about it she denied all knowledge of it. SO -- one of these ladies has my box set but nobody is owning up to it. I AM SOOOO PISSED OFF. I don't speak to either of these people any more !!!!!

Her desire to work brought her to tv which was considered a step down, especially then. Set her ego aside. Amazing

Love Bette she was a rare jewel, cant take my eyes off her when she's on screen.

@@alegnalowe3679 I hear you, I didn't want to believe BDs account, but her children have also said that Bette acted wildly crazy many a time and I've also heard many, many interviews of those who knew her well, many who knew her intimately, and from what they have said, I now believe that what BD has said in her book and in interviews is correct. I often wonder if Bette had some kind of mental disorder . . . or, it could be that the high amount of alcohol she drank had a huge effect upon her personality. She still remains my all-time favorite actress. I so love the old movies when she was younger. So beautiful, just captivating.

Something with Bette I’ve never seen before! Yippeeeeee!!!!

I have been a fan of her's since I was a child.. I read her bio that I found on the campus of "Loyola University" in New Orleans,LA back in 2004. When her contracted expired from Warner Bros..pictures/studios .. She placed an ad in the LA Times in the 1950's and caught some slack for it.. Movie actor's from the 1930's-1960's never did t.v shows..due to a stigma..

LOVED her in Now Voyager! Class act.

The Tara home from "Gone With the Wind" is used in the opening sequence of this TV Show. It was sold and the remaining parts shipped to Georgia where they remain to this day stored in an old barn. Hopefully one day it can be restored to how it looked when used in the David O. Selznick movie. The home was sold to Senator Herman Talmadge and moved to Georgia in 1959. This show was from 1957 and probably one of the last shows to use the set for a TV Show prior to its' move back to Georgia.

Bette Davis was one of the great actresses Of old Hollywood. It's a shame more producers didn't put her in more movies as she got older, and I don't mean movies like Baby Jane or Sweet Charlotte. But I wouldn't like the way Hollywood changed for the worse.

Absolutely enjoyable. This would have made a great Hollywood feature length film. Of course the script would have been fleshed out with more LIES that Miss Davis would have been caught in throughout the film. Davis would have been even more glamorized in various scenes. Too bad Hollywood thought Miss Davis had been finished in films around this time. Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfeild had caught the studios attention by having various wardrobe malfunctions.

Thank you 🙏🏻 Tom. 🙏🏻
