chris o o now right? It's that 60s kind for cute tune and the way she emphasise it - Bette can't really sing but that's what I love about it. Also the way she's swinging her skirt so sweetly just having fun at the end! So good! She cracks me up!
Denise Spurlock She was the one who was the breakthrough with the age barrier actress and proved that an actress only gets better with age. She was tough and hard as nails and had a sense of humor and a bigger heart than people have given her credit for. Hell, you had to be very strong and tough in those days in Hollywood if you were to survive. She may have had her quirks about her but it isn't like she didn't have a reason to have them. It's such a shame about B.D. and her. Regardless of what B.D. has said, she did love her mother but B.D. never had to raise a child alone and go up against the Big Boys of Hollywood and I doubt she really ever had to fight for very much. Her and Joan Crawford could have had a great friendship, I think, if the studios had not turned them against each other. They seemed to do that with the women more than the men, I guess they got a kick out of it or something.
Absolutely correct. When other actresses of her generation ages they fought it tooth and nail and more or less became actual "Baby Janes." She moved on to roles that fit her age and worked almost until the day she died
I agree with Shannon R. Both of these women were born Aries. That’s about 1 of the toughest signs out there. Ask ANYONE who deals with an Aries. Plus, they may not have been the most beautiful women of their day but in their younger years, believe me, they had their suitors! Being Soo Famous and good looking in your youth makes it triple hard to come down to earth and realize it’s all gone...the attention, the admiration of both men and women and what was so important in life has left you. Think what an impact that has on a psyche. How far that is to fall and do it in the public eye. I personally LOVED watching these women! Through the books, the tv smears, all of it. They were honestly trying to do their best. Because we can scorn Hollywood but look who rules the wave! If it wasn’t for the “Hollywood Hype” and the Hetta Hoppers of the world, oh and let’s NOT forget the money machines: Goldwyn, Meyer, and his Pals, they might have died happy. Or maybe felt some dignity to age.
Lisa Murphy being born in a certain month has absolutely ZERO to do with your personality. It has to do with childhood, how you are brought up, the difficulties that happen in your formative phases, and what you learn as an adolescent. The fact that in 2018 some people still think the superstitious nonsense is ridiculous.
She might not be Julie Andrews or Barbara Cook but there's a need for raspy, crackly singing voices. AT least she's in tune. They are perfect for some styles and songs.
I wholeheartedly agree. Jealousy is an ugly thing, even when it embodies someone has beautiful as Joan Crawford. Shame. They could have been good friends and made another million dollars from the picture if Bette had won.
I love Betty Davis, but I don't think Joan Crawford had that kind of influence to sway an Oscar judge. Betty was competing against Anne Bancroft that year who won the Oscar for her role in The Miracle Worker. I seen both movies, and Anne really did a wonder job playing that part.
@@emilyschornstein2398 Joan read the book and brought it to her attention. Personally think Joan could've got best supporting actress if she swallowed her pride
Have you seen Feud? That goes into great detail as to what Joan did to make sure Bette didn't win. I agree Joan should have swallowed her pride and gone for Supporting Actress.
@@emilyschornstein2398 Feud was largely fictional. It was a love letter to Davis. All Joan did was offer to accept the award for women who wouldn't be there - in no possible way could she manipulate the outcome of the award. Its so rude to Anne Bancroft to say she only won because Bette Davis spun stories later in life!
This is an absolute pisser! Clearly Bette's not a singer, but you can tell she knows it, and her attitude is "Who cares? Let's have some fun!" She's not of the rock and roll generation but in a tongue-in-cheek way, she's doing a song that appeals to them. I've always admired her fearlessness and her ability to put it all right out there! Way to go, Bette!
I like her voice. I think she has a "teacher's" voice so to speak. You know when your elementary teacher would sing songs with the class and it was fun, and they were never bad, but you knew they weren't singers in the strictest sense?
This is pure joy! It's so sad how Hollywood royalty was treated once upon a time. They attempt to do things better these days but there are still far too many that have been pushed to the side and are being ignored by Hollywood. Good for Bette for being a trooper and promoting the film. She "Sing-Talked" beautifully with a cute novelty tune.
Bette Davis did not take her self seriously except for her acting when she had a role to portray other then that she was humorous, told it like it is and fought the Big heads of those studios who took her for just another actress.
This was an absolute joy! Can she sing? No. Does she care? No. Was she entertaining? Hell yes! 🎉❤🎉 Thanks for posting this rare diamond. 💎 There was nothing this woman couldn't do. I can see why so many commented that they can still hear the song in their heads! It's a catchy little ditty! 🤗 ❤ 🎉
Bette Davis is perfect example that no dancing or singing skills needed to be a great entertainer :) . Truly charismatic personality and mesmerizing show.
Bette Davis is incredible. In this performance, she's the perfect combination of elegant, funny, beautiful, adorable, and gritty. Not many people have that many strikingly different qualities all rolled into one.
I love Betty Davis, what loveliness when she was a young actress and what strength of character in later years. She was having so much fun singing it shined through her smile. Miss her dearly.
I get the impression from reading about her and listening to her on interviews that she wouldn't really give much of a care about being called "Betty," because that is how it sounds, after all. I'm not being critical, Tony. I just think she'd probably wave it off with a quick correction and a "whatever!" lol
Yes because you see my friends back in the day even a simple singing was done with their own voices! Not like today by a voice mixer with a couple of dubstep farts & nothing else.Even in a small performance like that the actor-actress was giving it all!
She was such a strong personality and actress. I think this vid is so cool, especially at the end she looks like she's having alot of fun with it. Only someone as cool as her could pull it off...You go Bette!
I loveeee this...and Bette!!! :) This was all done for fun and Bette herself, would tell you that she is not a singer. Judging, by reading some of the mean comments, I guess some just don't get it...and you can see that the 'likes', wayyyyyy out number the 'dislikes'. Anyway, Bette had a great sense of humor and I sure wished I could have met her. I loved how she pulled no punches and spoke her mind. Legendary actress and one of Hollywood's GREATEST! :)
I wаtchеd What Ever Happрpened to Baby Janeeee? full movie heеeereee twitter.com/db41c91865a7c4228/status/795843585849470976 WHATEVЕR HAPPENED TO BАABY JANE
I love this little song by Bette! I am amazed at the great sense of humor she had right up to the end of her life. Watching the interviews from the 80's with David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Joan Rivers, Bette was really funny, spot on and I believe very beautiful still
Bette’s so beautiful. She looked wonderful in that green dress. 💖 I’m listening to her album, lol. If you look at it as a memoir it’s fantastic. Can you believe she couldn’t sing? 😂 but I still love listening to her and watching her do it. I think she did good with Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte though.. She sang it beautifully during a guesting with Olivia de Havilland.
You can see here how much Bette was enjoying her renewed popularity thanks to WHTBJ. I agree with some comments. She should have won her third Oscar for her role as Baby Jane. Also, between 1960 and 1965, she made a series of fantastic performances: "Hush, Hush... Sweet Charlotte", "Dead Ringer", "The Nanny"...
FUED literally recreated those days so perfectly down to the background and clothing. Not just here but all of it.....Hollywood changed so much , it's in major decline...... can't beat old Hollywood and real actors and actresses not the crap we have today...
Ms. Davis knows she's not a singer but she's having fun. Not like these days where singers are always trying to send a message and not just have a good time.
Just saw this on Feud tonight,. So great. Susan nailed it. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Already missing the scenes of Bette and Joan making the movie. Jessica and Susan are doing an amazing job.
She just enjoyed herself.She knew that she wanst a singer but that she could sing a little.Thyey wanted her for A little night music and Mame but she didnt do any af them.
1962,"long before color, right"? God, some people are so ignorant! Color programming came into the mainstream in the 50's though it would be another 10 years before it was prominent over B & W. Still some notable mainstays in vibrant color were Disney, Bonanza, Lucy. This video is a testament to Davis' ability to not take herself so seriously like Crawford. Even when Bette weighed 90 pounds and near death, she kept on going with sheer determination, she was a force of nature with unending energy. The comments make me lol. Bette would crack up.
This is so AWESOME!!! I LIKE IT & THINK SHE SOUNDS REALLY GOOD. FOR THAT GUY WHO SAID THAT SHE WAS OVERLY CONFIDENT & HER OWN BIGGEST FAN IS DEFINATELY NOT TRUE. Bette Davis is probably the most beloved actress ever & like me, I have met many people that love her voice, the way she talks that makes her singing pleasing to hear even though she is not a professional vocalist. It is still good. Great to be matter of fact!!!
She is so dynamic...so camp...so uninhibited...that dress almost looks cartoon-like on a woman her age at the time... even though she was never considered conventionally pretty by Hollywood glamour standards of the day there is something quite attractive that impressive about her she almost has a commanding presence that you can't look away from and her voice is one in a million
She's just GREAT here! Love her sense of humor. Bette just had a blast singing. The best is that didn't take herself so seriously (here.) How many stars of that caliber or with her credits & acclaim would dare to have this much fun - on live TV. Hollywood royalty with a twist.
I love to hear Bette sing! Hell, I love Bette in general! But, I've always loved to hear her voice, as it is so unique, so when I heard that she did not only this song, but a whole album (later in 1976) I was very happy! Love this lady!
This song was a clever marketing tool for "What ever happened to Baby Jane " which oddly enough had mixed reviews in the early 60s. Both Bette and Joan delivered epic performances, but Bette was better at the end of the day.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Anyone who would comment on the actual quality of her singing doesn't have a clue about Bette Davis at all. She IS a good sport and exceedingly sharp. This wasn't a singing performance, this was a little piece of Bette's great sense of humor. She's wonderful.
That was probably around 1967, judging by the production look, Bette on the Andy Williams Hour. She'd cut that song as a promo single with Debbie Burton, the voice of "young Baby Jane", a few years earlier. Bette had a great sense of humour.
I love Bette Davis for this! She's not the best singer in the world, but this clip is still very watchable and entertaining. She pulled it off really well!
@@stmichl9433 I'd tone down the bloviation, too! Clearly you believe that anything a woman can do, a man can do better. Even the best of the drag queens, Charles Pierce, was not looked upon fondly by Bette. Why? He couldn't empathise with her as Sarandon (or any woman in the business) could, and resulted to portrating a hollow caricature of the woman. But hey, that's drag.
@@stmichl9433 goodness, talk about projection. You seem to have tied yourself into a fallacious knot. If drag in its entirety is about parodying and satirising female performers, why would a drag performer have been better suited for the role than Sarandon? And as for transphobia; I don't think the trans community would be particularly thrilled with your conflating them as whole with drag.
Bette was fab! The tune to this song played in the movie when Crawford (Blanche) was trying to get the attention of the next door neighbor after Baby Jane left the house...it had the same jazzy little beat. Bette sang this while she was on a promotional tour for the movie. Bette and her daughter B.D. (who played the next door neighbors daughter in the movie) sang together as well during the promotional tour. Hey...that's Hollywood!
If only I had a time machine to take me back to this time. I was born too late. I am quite aware of the sacrifices, I'd settle in just fine, thank you. I'd love to soak in the naivety and simplicity of this earlier time.
This woman is not normal with charisma and think Hollywood told her she wouldn't make it they said she wasn't pretty enough only to end the up in mosr opinons the greatest of actresses way surpasses joan Crawfords.acting abilitys
when the movie came out, Bette toured the country, appearing in theatres even in very small towns and they would have a competition among people in the audience who would find a baby Jane doll hidden under a certain seat! :) Bette while always being a GUTSY lady was a good sport.
Not only Bette Davis Eyes, 😉, but the ability to mesmerize with the chutzpah for which she was known. Like fine 🍷, she simply got better with age! My favorite was Hush Sweet Charlotte. She actually sang that song on I've Got a Secret. VIDEO IS OUT HERE! RIP dear Bette. 🏆. 🏆. 🏆. 👑. 🕊 🕊 🕊
It's actually kinda catchy in a really bizarre way.
chris olson I did just catch myself nodding my head along.
chris o o now right? It's that 60s kind for cute tune and the way she emphasise it - Bette can't really sing but that's what I love about it. Also the way she's swinging her skirt so sweetly just having fun at the end! So good! She cracks me up!
Saint Raphæl I loved when feud did it but they made her look almost too serious.. like the real Bette Davis was actually having fun singing it
Bette was a lot of amazing things, but singer clearly wasn’t her forte. She always gave it everything she had; that’s for sure.
Granted, it is...in a weird way, yes.
Is it weird to say that I actually like her singing voice? It has a nice husky tone to it
No...i like her voice too...but only bette coukd pull it off!!
I agree. It's a good, simple song. She sings it well.
Me too🤣!!!
Yesssss boyish like n love it. they said she walks like a man lol and perhaps her singing as well. love it. she like one of the boys.
I like Bette's performance as well!
Bette Davis invented making lemonade when the world only gave her lemons.
Denise Spurlock This is some mighty tasty lemonade. kinda funny lookin tho.

She might not be a singer, but she was clearly having fun and it was enjoyable.
There you go! It was fun, and she also brought publicity to her newest project!
She might not be Julie Andrews or Barbara Cook but there's a need for raspy, crackly singing voices. AT least she's in tune. They are perfect for some styles and songs.
She not a singer ,shes a performer and that's what shes doing is giving a performance like only she could do!!!
Just saw Susan Sarandon recreate this on the FX Mini series and rushed to youtube to see the original.
callynt same, and she did an amazing job!!
Same here. LOL
hahaha me too
I was watching Feud and fell asleep; I woke up to this and thought it was Bette! IMO Sarandon is doing a brilliant job, she's got Bette down pat.
Me too, I could hardly believe one of my favorite actresses of all time, Bette Davis, actually did this. She can't sing but I still loved it.
Bette had a good sense of humor.
I can't see a modern actress doing this.
I think it was more of a parody Bette was doing
Even so. It takes giant lady balls to risk become a laughingstock, especially as she was clearly no singer.
lapis2267 Bette Davis...a pushing stock? That's a laugh within itself. She was just having fun.
RAUNCHY
she deserved that third oscar !
I wholeheartedly agree. Jealousy is an ugly thing, even when it embodies someone has beautiful as Joan Crawford. Shame. They could have been good friends and made another million dollars from the picture if Bette had won.

Yeah, lucky dude! She died the year after I was born!

At least she's on key. She can carry a tune but she's not a singer singer.
Agreed! I was just thinking that. Did what was needed. Not a great single but great publicity and great movie theme.
Balls... of steel.
She's a better singer than Elaine Stritch but she managed an extremely long career doing this type of song and dance.
This was so much fun, and yes, it’s catchy as hell. Tell me I’m not the only person who’s heard this playing in their head. :)
Yeah I was singing at work lol
This is pure joy! It's so sad how Hollywood royalty was treated once upon a time.

Greetings fellow Feud: Bette and Joan viewers.
I've been expecting you moments ago
We love you Bette Davis. I miss old Hollywood. What an amazing actress. She should have won the third Oscar... She was robbed!!!
That right there is a survivor. Nothing could get this broad down.
Bette Davis is incredible. In this performance, she's the perfect combination of elegant, funny, beautiful, adorable, and gritty. Not many people have that many strikingly different qualities all rolled into one.
I think Bette looks beautiful here and I love her voice.
Yes i jus love her! .the dress LOVELY
That's exactly it. She was a wonderful actress but that voice put her in a category of super stardom.

I get the impression from reading about her and listening to her on interviews that she wouldn't really give much of a care about being called "Betty," because that is how it sounds, after all. I'm not being critical, Tony. I just think she'd probably wave it off with a quick correction and a "whatever!" lol
Tony Lagarto her name was Bette but was pronounced Betty.
Herman Forstmann her name was Bette but was pronounced Betty. So you're both wrong!!!!
@@tonylagarto3304 Hilarious that someone who claims they love Bette can't even spell her first name.
I love this camp as hell the one and only Bette Davis.
"HOW I WISH I WISH I WISH I WERE" - this broad can still DO IT.

She sings better then some of the pop stars today.
So feakin true Alissa Gail

I love how she dances at the end!
charismatic woman, impressive
This person uploaded this video ten years ago and it is great that "Feud" has given it new life! Bette was a true broad!!
This song will be stuck in my head until the day I die.
It’s been 5 years. Still stuck?
Everything she did was show-stopping. You could not look away. A true entertainer.
I loveeee this...and Bette!!! :) This was all done for fun and Bette herself, would tell you that she is not a singer.

I have Bette Davis's record that was released eons ago -she always sounds like Marianne Faithful to my ear. LoL xoxo :)
I can't stop watching this, its so catchy 😂 Love Bette!
It was soooo awful...but brilliant at the same time 😂
She could DANCE
She could SING
She could DO
Most anyTHING
Whatever HAPPENED
To Baby JANE🎵🎶
There isn't much that Bette Davis couldn't pull off...a tribute to her talent and artistry. She was a true original.
Susan and Jessica played them so well. Came here to see the original and just bought What Ever Happend to Baby Jane.
I love this little song by Bette! I am amazed at the great sense of humor she had right up to the end of her life. Watching the interviews from the 80's with David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Joan Rivers, Bette was really funny, spot on and I believe very beautiful still

I think it's really cute that she got a chance to sing, something she didn't do often
I love it ! Lol
She’s so comfortable doing it too !
My favourite film, and now I have a song too !
Bette had guts and she gave her all in this and was having a great time and I love her doing the twist at the end with the 60ish music. Perfect
Miss Bette Davis, We love you!!! ❤️ Happy Birthday! 🥳
Love her!! I had her singing this as my ring tone (lol) but i lost the phone. love her and her craziness!!
You can see here how much Bette was enjoying her renewed popularity thanks to WHTBJ. I agree with some comments. She should have won her third Oscar for her role as Baby Jane. Also, between 1960 and 1965, she made a series of fantastic performances: "Hush, Hush... Sweet Charlotte", "Dead Ringer", "The Nanny"...
All about Eve
Dead ringer is a great movie.😊
That dance at the end...get it, Miss Bette!!
I love this song ... it's been in my head for two weeks straight! Thank so much for posting it!!
FUED literally recreated those days so perfectly down to the background and clothing. Not just here but all of it.....Hollywood changed so much , it's in major decline...... can't beat old Hollywood and real actors and actresses not the crap we have today...
AMEN TO THAT! Old Hollywood was Fantastic....Wonderful! It took real talent to make it there then!
She is the definition of entertaining in every way!! Bette could do ANYTHING & it worked!! She was a gift 🌹
Ms. Davis knows she's not a singer but she's having fun. Not like these days where singers are always trying to send a message and not just have a good time.
Is it weird that I watch this about twice a month, and sing it (like Bette) whenever I have a martini?
Wow, Bette can actually pull jazzy sing-talking! Incredible!
Who's here from Feud?!
ME!!!!
Yes and no. Both Feud and Baby Jane bonus feature.
Me
All that shade gave me LIFE! Joan and Bette reading each other for filth with the old school shade won't be getting old anytime soon.
Me!!
I just have one thing to say about that: Bette was wonderful!!!
She was fearless! Remember when she put an ad in a newspaper offering her works as an actress? She was a very interesting lady.
Just saw this on Feud tonight,. So great. Susan nailed it. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Already missing the scenes of Bette and Joan making the movie. Jessica and Susan are doing an amazing job.
OMG !!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST DEVISED IN THE MIND OF RYAN MURPHY FOR.....#Feud !! SO GLAD IT'S FOR REAL !!!! #Bette #Joan #Feud
A legend, we will not see again RIP sweet Bette xxx
She just enjoyed herself.She knew that she wanst a singer but that she could sing a little.Thyey wanted her for A little night music and Mame but she didnt do any af them.

Lucy was in black and white.
I meant I Love Lucy. I didn't like her last show which must have been in color. But I had a black and white TV into the mid 80s.

Hahahhaaj riiight
AHHHH that reference!
This is unbelievable and so cute and funny ❤
I love to hear Bette sing! Hell, I love Bette in general! But, I've always loved to hear her voice, as it is so unique, so when I heard that she did not only this song, but a whole album (later in 1976) I was very happy! Love this lady!
This song was a clever marketing tool for "What ever happened to Baby Jane " which oddly enough had mixed reviews in the early 60s. Both Bette and Joan delivered epic performances, but Bette was better at the end of the day.
I wonder if Joan Crawford saw this and her reaction to. They hated each other while filming
Joan never hated bette
@@ritaxxx5192 watch the documentary then revise your statement
@@ritaxxx5192 besides Whatever Happen to Baby Jane is one of my favorites
I couldn't have said it better myself. Anyone who would comment on the actual quality of her singing doesn't have a clue about Bette Davis at all. She IS a good sport and exceedingly sharp. This wasn't a singing performance, this was a little piece of Bette's great sense of humor. She's wonderful.
You know what? For some reason, this does it for me...😂❤
That was probably around 1967, judging by the production look, Bette on the Andy Williams Hour. She'd cut that song as a promo single with Debbie Burton, the voice of "young Baby Jane", a few years earlier.
Bette had a great sense of humour.
I lovd this its so catchy haha!
I love Bette Davis for this! She's not the best singer in the world, but this clip is still very watchable and entertaining. She pulled it off really well!
Susan Sarandon NAILED this completely
who?
@@hunkhk she played bette in feud
@@stmichl9433 lmao tone down that misogyny, dear.
@@stmichl9433 I'd tone down the bloviation, too! Clearly you believe that anything a woman can do, a man can do better. Even the best of the drag queens, Charles Pierce, was not looked upon fondly by Bette. Why? He couldn't empathise with her as Sarandon (or any woman in the business) could, and resulted to portrating a hollow caricature of the woman. But hey, that's drag.
@@stmichl9433 goodness, talk about projection.
You seem to have tied yourself into a fallacious knot. If drag in its entirety is about parodying and satirising female performers, why would a drag performer have been better suited for the role than Sarandon? And as for transphobia; I don't think the trans community would be particularly thrilled with your conflating them as whole with drag.
Gosh I watched it for one week and I don't get bored of it❤❤❤
"..it's more like Ch-hubby Ch-hecker" -Bette Davis
She had a really nice shape. Her neck looks good. She really kept her looks a lot longer than I remembered
Feud brought me here. And she is awesome.
This must be the most unique thing I've ever seen on UA-cam!
I watched baby Jane the other day I can't believe I waited so long I loved it. Great suspense and Betty really did. Deserve to win
Oh, dear Bette🌟!♥️ What a delightful and simply great Lady you were!!.. They just don't make 'em like You, anymore...👌
Brilliant, best video I've seen of Bette Davis, she wasn't a bad singer at all.
Bette was fab! The tune to this song played in the movie when Crawford (Blanche) was trying to get the attention of the next door neighbor after Baby Jane left the house...it had the same jazzy little beat. Bette sang this while she was on a promotional tour for the movie. Bette and her daughter B.D. (who played the next door neighbors daughter in the movie) sang together as well during the promotional tour. Hey...that's Hollywood!
Drae C. And then bd stabbed her in the back
If only I had a time machine to take me back to this time. I was born too late. I am quite aware of the sacrifices, I'd settle in just fine, thank you. I'd love to soak in the naivety and simplicity of this earlier time.
Wonderful Bette. Yes she should have won that 3rd Oscar. Love the song. Love Bette. Always. 💗
Just a sensational entertainer for so many years and the quality was top of the line Bette Davis was fabulous !!!!!
This should be a duet with Joan Crawford.. That would be great x
This woman is not normal with charisma and think Hollywood told her she wouldn't make it they said she wasn't pretty enough only to end the up in mosr opinons the greatest of actresses way surpasses joan Crawfords.acting abilitys
Bette Davis is one of my favorite actresses I have about 15 of her movies!
when the movie came out, Bette toured the country, appearing in theatres even in very small towns and they would have a competition among people in the audience who would find a baby Jane doll hidden under a certain seat! :)
Bette while always being a GUTSY lady was a good sport.
Not only Bette Davis Eyes, 😉, but the ability to mesmerize with the chutzpah for which she was known. Like fine 🍷, she simply got better with age! My favorite was Hush Sweet Charlotte. She actually sang that song on I've Got a Secret. VIDEO IS OUT HERE! RIP dear Bette. 🏆. 🏆. 🏆. 👑. 🕊 🕊 🕊
FEUD: Bette and Joan brought me here.
I liked Susan Sarandon scene doing this.
