S24E1: Bette Davis

Screen legend Bette Davis made her mark in Hollywood by being willing to take on – and forcefully, perfectly inhabit – any interesting role that came her way. Her persona is iconic: a sharp-tongued wit, cigarette dangling, willing to shape-shift into fascinating portrayals of pathos. She was even the participant in one of Hollywood’s greatest feuds, with fellow diva Joan Crawford. Her personal life was as topsy-turvy as her roles; she had three divorces and also became a widow under somewhat mysterious circumstances.
