Bette Davis

    Questa attrice americana era rinomata per la sua volontà di interpretare personaggi complessi e spesso antipatici in una varietà di generi, dai melodrammi avvincenti ai film d'epoca. Il suo stile intenso e senza compromessi, unito a un distintivo modo di recitare e gesti caratteristici, divenne leggendario. Sostenitrice appassionata della libertà artistica, la sua carriera, definita da un instancabile professionalità e dal coraggio di superare i confini di Hollywood, l'ha consacrata come un'icona duratura.

PLUS-- A candid letter to her daughter - whose stinging memoir has caused so much controversy.

      Sparing nothing and no-one from her whiplash tongue, Bette Davis provides a running commentary to Stine's portrayal of her long and illustrious career. Her comments demonstrate the same bold approach that made her one of the screen's most successful stars.
