This review is from: Bette Davis: A Biography in Photographs (Paperback)
Came across this 1985 book recently and was thrilled! WONDERFUL rare photographs (every page) of BETTE DAVIS not seen in any other book. Includes a rare photo of Davis and Joan Crawford chatting on the set of What Happened To Baby Jane before "the differences between these two stars and their innate sense of competition with each other led to a tense atmosphere on the set." Another shot has the two reading the script for Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte (Crawford fell ill and was replaced)-- a posed Crawford is all dressed up with flashy jewlery and a Pepsi, while Davis is all business studying the script in a simple outfit and hairdo. Bette considered herself an "actress" and Crawford a "star." Written before Ms Davis' death, the last page states that she had just recovered from a stroke. Even though the book ends with A Piano For Mrs Cimino, it still holds up against any other photo book on this classic actress. All kinds of amazing pictures and portraits. Now my favorite Bette Davis book!!!
