Bette Davis, Girl Reporter! FRONT PAGE WOMAN (1935) from Warner Archive

Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Jul 29, 2013

Bette Davis might hate me for saying this, but I love her early films. Movies like THREE ON A MATCH (1932), THE PETRIFIED FOREST (1935), and even the misguided SATAN MET A LADY (1936) are all eminently watchable, even if they lack the prestige of the later, more challenging assignments the actress f read more

Ann Dvorak Bests Bette Davis Again (and she's "just a housewife")

A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jun 17, 2013

Housewife (1934) Sadly, this advertisement is more interesting than the film. "Housewife," a Warner Brothers factory product of 1934, is pretty much a stinker (but not, as Bette Davis referred to it years later, "a horror"). Bette probably hated it because her part, as the vampish bachelor-career read more

Top 5 Bette Davis Scenes (1)

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Laura Grande on May 31, 2013

I decided to task myself with this challenge. It’s arguably much easier to come up with a list of the legendary Bette Davis’ top performances or best overall films. But pinpointing specific scenes that encapsulate exactly what made her such a dynamic, influential actress? It’s tou read more

Bette Davis is a Bad Ass (2)

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Apr 5, 2013

I totally cribbed this photo from the fabulous iloveoldhollywood tumblog. I was completely arrested by this photo when it came through the news feed, and I can’t decide who is more beautiful, young Bette or old Bette. Suffice it to say she’s a bad ass at any age. bette davisbette davis read more

Happy Birthday to CLassic Movie Lengend, Bette Davis, born April 5th, 1908. “Well behaved women seldom make history” Wonderful saying, right? One thing I’ve always loved about Classic Hollywood is that you can find a whole slew of history-making ‘not-so well behaved’ women. And read more

Precode Double Take: Bette Davis

Lets Misbehave: A Tribute to Precode Hollywood Posted by Emma on Sep 4, 2012

Out of all the Precode actresses, Bette Davis was the most made-up and done over. Her plain brown hair was bleached the popular white blond, hair styled heavily and her makeup applied liberally.

Tropes of Women in Film: Bette Davis in The Little Foxes

Spoilers Posted by Duke Mantee on Jun 23, 2012

Part of the reason we create art is to work out who we are. At the heart of even modern TV and movies is the struggle of a person to become a person. The easiest example is Mad Men. Not just a saucy show about office romances in the 60’s, it is the story of Don Draper becoming a man. Don struggles read more
