Frasi di Bette Davis

Ruth Elizabeth Davis, meglio conosciuta come Bette Davis , è stata un'attrice statunitense.

Il suo mito sarà per sempre legato al personaggio di Margo Channing nel film Eva contro Eva ed a quello di donne dal carattere forte e deciso a cui aderì perfettamente con le sue grandi doti recitative. A lei è dedicata la canzone Bette Davis Eyes che ha contribuito a far rimanere intatta la figura della diva.

Bette Davis fu nominata undici volte al Premio Oscar vincendolo in due occasioni: nel 1936 per la sua interpretazione in Paura d'amare e nel 1939 per il film La figlia del vento. L'American Film Institute ha inserito la Davis al secondo posto tra le più grandi star della storia del cinema.

“Miss Bankhead isn't well enough known nationally to warrant my imitating her.”

In response to accusations she imitated Bankhead in the role of Margo Channing in All about Eve. Bankhead resented Davis for the perceived imitation, which she considered mocking, and for portraying her Broadway Roles on film [Dark Victory, Jezebel, The Little Foxes]. http://cree.newsvine.com/_news/2011/04/01/6390804-bette-davis-v-tallulah-bankhead-by-harvard-hollenberg This comment is unusual in that Davis usually tried to deflate the myth [started by Tallulah for amusement and publicity] of any sort of conflict between them, instead expressing her admiration for Bankhead. https://books.google.com/books?id=xUFplyZZAZsC&pg=PA221&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false Similarly, when Bankhead was asked to do an imitation of Davis, she said "Why should I dahling, she's been imitating me long enough". Before candidly remarking "But really, it's been sheer coincidence that Bette's been playing the leading roles in films like Dark Victory. I really admire her very much."
