Bette Davis

    Tato americká herečka proslula svou schopností ztvárňovat komplexní, často nesympatické postavy napříč různými žánry, od napínavých dramat po dobové filmy. Její intenzivní a nekompromisní styl, spolu s osobitým projevem a typickým gestem, se stal legendárním. Hlasitě se zasazovala o svobodné umělecké vyjádření a svou kariérou, definovanou neúnavným profesionalismem a odvahou překračovat hranice tehdejšího Hollywoodu, se stala ikonou.

      Like her famous characters, she's tough, confident, and never minces words. This frank, no-nonsense account features Bette Davis in her best role: her own remarkable life - on-screen and off...The glory days of Hollywood... the ups and downs with her husbands and children... behind the scenes with Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?... a few choice words about Ronald Reagan... and her inspiring struggle to survive first a mastectomy, and then, nine days later, a crippling stroke. PLUS-- A candid letter to her daughter - whose stinging memoir has caused so much controversy.

      Sparing nothing and no-one from her whiplash tongue, Bette Davis provides a running commentary to Stine's portrayal of her long and illustrious career. Her comments demonstrate the same bold approach that made her one of the screen's most successful stars.
