BETTE DAVIS.

"I'd like ta kiss ya, but I just washed my hair."

SHE'S FORMIDABLE, OUTSPOKEN, AND WAS ONE OF HOLLYWOODS GREATEST STARS.

"The Yankee voice over the intercom is unmistakeable; formidable and breathy at the same time. And, as she opens the door to her elegant, memorabilia-strewn West Hollywood apartment, it is accompanied by the flashing blue eyes and her one permanent accessory; a classically clutched cigarette." quoted in an interview just before her death.
Bette Davis had a career spaning more than 60 years as a screen legend. She was nominated for 10 best actress oscars, and awarded 2 oscars, one for her role in "Dangerous" where she played an alcaholic by the name of Joyce Heath, screened in 1935. The other as a cunning Southern Belle, Julie Marston in "Jezebel" from 1938. Countless other awards have been bestowed upon her, including an Emmy for her crusty New Englander in 'Strangers," the story of a mother and daughter (1979). She's even had a rock and roll tribute from Kim Carnes in her song Bette Davis Eyes. In 1989 Bette Davis recieved the Film Society of Lincoln Center's annual gala tribute. Past recipients have been Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert and Lord Olivier. "i'm a bit greedy about awards she would say."
Bette Davis had 4 husbands. She was asked once how she would like to be remembered in a films. " well pretty monotonous really," she said "always acting in films and picking up awards, and of course there have been a few husbands."
Bette Davis daughter B.D. was born when she was 39 years of age which she says was amazing, though later in her life they had a falling out, especially when she wrote a book about her titled "My Mothers Keeper." It hurt her a lot but she was a survivor. She survived a stroke and a masectomy in her life until finally she died on October 6, 1989 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.More wild celebs here.nude celebs
One of the most bizarre things she said she had to do while employed by Universal Studios "was screen test 25 leading men, including Gilbert Roland and John Boles, while they made love to me , so the producers could see how sexy they were. as a young yankee girl i'd never been so embarrased."
People are always finding Bette Davis quotes such as "what a dump!" and "fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night" but her favourite was "I'd like ta kiss ya, but I just washed my hair." AS Madge in Cabin the Cotton (1932). There were so many memorable quotes, another is "If you could read my mind, you'd shrivel where you stand." and "From head to foot, I'm one quivering mass of loathing." --as Joyce Arden in IT'S LOVE I'M AFTER (1937).
