A Tribute to Bette Davis


That voice, those eyes, it could only be Bette Davis. Her long Hollywood career reached its pinnacle in 1950 with her dead on portrayal of the formidable, glamorous Broadway star, Margo Channing, in All About Eve. "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night," she said. Then at the age of 54, when her own career had reached a bumpy patch, she reinvented herself as an aging former child star in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". With that role she began her own second act, continuing to perform in another thirty films the last one at the age of 81. Destination Hollywood offers this Tribute to recognize the long and memorable career of one of Hollywood's greatest leading ladies ... Bette Davis.


Coming Soon
