      I never knew that Bette Davis really did any theatre or stage work, just films or television. I only heard that she publicly performed only one Broadway play many years earlier and the show basically bombed and that turned her off theatre. Since then that she lived in New York she probably saw a lot of the theatre shows.

      Now, on talk shows, actresses try to show as much skin as possible and make sure they use a four-letter word in the interview. 😢

    What Peggy says about luck is so true. I’ve often thought so many people in films are really quite mediocre and yet somehow they’re famous. And yet I know lots of other people who were far more talented and better looking. It really is mostly luck, and also these days that luck is about nepotism. More and more actors these days are only in films and famous because they have famous parents and families. That used to only be the case occasionally. But now, almost everyone you see on screen is there because of who they slept with, or born to, or married to. Nepotism rules Hollywood.

      Everyone who was educated spoke with this accent in those days. It was the correct way of speaking in polite society. Unfortunately, nowadays, Americans feel they have to use 4-letter words in every comment.

    • @cayetano-fd6kh

      Her eyelids and lower part of the eyes are very puffy and swollen. She probably worked hard but partied hard too.. This is 1972; She was only 62 or 63 years old.. Today they would have fixed her eyes and skin so well.. Her dry wrinkle skin was the result of years of smoking cigarettes, a carcinogen to our delicate human health.

      Not at all, in my opinion. She always looked much younger than her age. She outshone other actresses due to her vibrant personality and magnetism. She didn't look and seem old until the terrible book B.D. wrote--Bette adored her daughter and never criticized her, even after the book.

      @@cynthiacurrie5589I don’t agree. Bette is 64 here but looks a bit older. In those days people looked older than they do now. Think of how Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep and those actresses look these days in comparison. It’s true that plastic surgery is rife now. That’s not to say Bette isn’t amazing or charismatic but she did drink a lot apparently, and was a chain smoker. But that’s what created her chic look. I love how she dresses. Bette was super chic. Love the smooth pageboy bob hair here in this interview. Her combover pageboy hair and Dick’s combover hair almost look identical!!!
