Hollywood didn't know what to do with the odd-looking
starlet with the unusual eyes. After a successful career on stage,
Bette
Davis tried to break into film, and despite being told that
she had "the sex appeal of Slim Summerville," landed
her first role in 1931. With films frequently of less-than-stellar
quality, Davis often outperformed her movies--that is, until she
landed the role of Mildred in Of Human Bondage, launching a long
and successful career. Despite a personal and professional life
that was seemingly always in upheaval, Bette Davis has proven
to be an actress who stands the test of time. Bette
Davis films include
All About Eve
Jezebel
Dark Victory
The Petrified Forest
Of Human Bondage
The Letter
The Little Foxes
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Now Voyager
