Bette Davis


Ruth Elizabeth "Bette" Davis was an American actress born the 5th of April 1908 in Massachusetts. During high school she wanted to become a dancer but changed her mind when she joined a drama class. She first appeared in some Broadway shows but was later spotted by a talent scout from Universal Studios that invited her to make a screen test in Hollywood. Her first role was in a movie called Bad Sister. The sceen test was a failure though and she was fired because they thought she missed sexual appeal. However, she didn't give up and was later seen in the movie Of Human Bondage and the year after she recieved an Oscar for her role in the movie Dangerous. During her lifetime she appeared in a total of 101 movies and recieved two Oscars, but was nominated nine times. Today, she is mentioned in a lot of popular songs like "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. She died on the 6th of October, 1989.
Here's a video of Bette Davis in the movie Dangerous.



If I could ask Bette one question it would be if she is happy with the way her life turned out. It may be hard to imagine how your life would look if it hadn't turned out as it did but maybe she had other plans or wished to do other things that she never did. Since she wanted to become a dancer at first it would be interesting to know if she ever chased that dream or just abandoned it. I want to know if there was any things she had always wanted to do but never got to experience.
