I would have paid top dollar to see Joan Crawford walk out and watch the reaction on Bette's face. Security would have been called to pull them apart .
They had some respect back then because nowadays they would of brought Crawford out to get a reaction. And you know Bette not good at hiding her facial expressions and emotions, would’ve made a good show though.
Bette Davis was born on april 5th. Those born that day are bombastic. My stepmother. Think The Nanny. Antoinette Capadose. Fine pianist. Likable and impossible. Both her husbands turned to drink and died before their time. I loved them both. And Bette from a safe distance. I live alone. Peace. And R.I.P to all concerned.
I like the way he indirectly pushes Bette and sits next to her, if it hadn't been on TV, Bette would have kicked his ass so hard! Ahahahahha I laughed myself silly!
I think Bette got a little emotional and fighting back tears when her sister came out. Being the tough person she is, l'm sure she insisted on hiding her emotions.
Hollywood, the world of dreams and fantasy and viewers believe everything and enjoy it. The presenter arrives at a workplace that in the end turns out to be being filmed with spectators witnessing the show 😂
alaindelonhj You have part of the story right. Davis and Wyler did have a love affair, but Davis played hard-to-get for too long and Wyler married another woman. Katharine Hepburn had a lifelong affair with Spencer Tracy, who refused to divorce his wife because of his Catholic faith. Of course, his faith didn’t stop him from having a partnership with Hepburn. Wyler was Jewish.
Bette didn’t know. She just couldn’t get out of it lol. She couldn’t hide she’s annoyed at first but I think she’s happy just the same to see Willie Wyler and some others.
I adore her bright talk and humour, but I think it was quite dangerous - how anyone wrote heere - piss her off, she shines a huge authority which causes a kind of poeple's fear from her, I would have fear to talk to her, in spite of I would love to try :-)
Bettes tough but she has emotion and heart, she just don’t like to show them cause she doesn’t want to be taken advantage of or ever appear weak. She had vulnerabilities allright. She’s intimidating but that’s test you to see if you’ll crack, she respects you if you don’t.
Did Bette get a long with her sister? Bettes tough but she has emotion and heart, she just don’t like to show them cause she doesn’t want to be taken advantage of or ever appear weak. She had vulnerabilities allright. She’s intimidating but that’s test you to see if you’ll crack, she respects you if you don’t Though she’s a legend and one of our greatest actresses. She never was with the in crowd like Crawford but Davis still made it. They had some respect back then because nowadays they would of brought Crawford out to get a reaction. And you know Bette not good at hiding her facial expressions and emotions, would’ve made a good show though.
Well,. she does look rather bored and you can just tell from the show that she is thinking "this is more than a tad tiresome" by the whole ordeal Some of the facts of her life are slightly erroneous and she's thinking about her TV movie and not in the mood. "I had just felt as if I'd been to my own funeral!"....heeeheee
This show was soooo schmaltzy/corny....there are times you can see that she was really ready for it to be over....even though its always great to see any clips of her, it must have been annoying to have that annoying man tell Her about what happened in her life....he is like a caricature of an announcer too...I am sure she would have rather not done this show. It was corny...
How on earth Ralph edwards ever got anone to actually go ahead with the show amazes me as he was a terrible host, his unproffessional manner made for stomach churning viewing show format good host bad
she seems to very strong and a little attiude like i shouldnt be here and i see the people that i havent seen , but i have more inportant things. she was very rude and snobby .not nice at all
In one of her books, Bette said that this show made her think she'd been to her own funeral...
I was I was among the audience. What a magical feeling to see Miss Davis in person and hear that wondeful voice and laughter of hers!
Her comments to director William Wyler are so classy and very true. "The Best Years Of Our Lives" is one of the greatest films ever made.
"You are the... star... the SUPERstar, Bette Davis..." "Thank you."
LOVED, #90!!!
i love Bette Davis!!
"It's called *Madame Sin*, not *My Sin*..."
everything bette was wearing would be perfectly stylish today... lol
A TRUE HOLLYWOOD LEGEND
I read that Bette's mother devoted herself to Bette, not the sister. The mother was focused on making sure Bette would fulfill her dreams.
I would have paid top dollar to see Joan Crawford walk out and watch the reaction on Bette's face. Security would have been called to pull them apart .

Бетт Дейвис прекрасная актриса❤❤❤❤❤❤
She looks so annoyed at first and completely blanks the presenter,haha.
Bette Davis was born on april 5th.
Those born that day are bombastic.
My stepmother. Think The Nanny.
Antoinette Capadose. Fine pianist. Likable and impossible.
Both her husbands turned to drink
and died before their time.
I loved them both.
And Bette from a safe distance.
I live alone. Peace.
And R.I.P to all concerned.
bette davis...........never another one like her
I like the way he indirectly pushes Bette and sits next to her, if it hadn't been on TV, Bette would have kicked his ass so hard! Ahahahahha I laughed myself silly!
Bette Davis was a legend and an icon of Hollywood
Ed
Oh my God two witchy looking Bette Davis's
negative.
The best ! La meilleure !
Bette loved her sister. If her mother showed a preference it was her issue.
YUK, LOOK AT THAT DECOR!
And that plaid suit on BD! Yikes!!
Man -- she actually went 9+ minutes without a cigarette...!
I think Bette got a little emotional and fighting back tears when her sister came out. Being the tough person she is, l'm sure she insisted on hiding her emotions.
She put her hands up to stop her sister from kissing her. Same hairdos.
She doesn't seem rude at all to me, just in the beginning when her work is being interrupted.
I've seen her be rude before. This isn't even close.
+Sloopyla that moment is fascinating, very real.
thank you so much for this great post.
Hollywood, the world of dreams and fantasy and viewers believe everything and enjoy it. The presenter arrives at a workplace that in the end turns out to be being filmed with spectators witnessing the show 😂
she is a lovely person
Are there enough chairs in that room? And none that match. It looks like a second hand store in the early 70s
ayyyyyyy i've been waitin for this one
She got Punk'd and She seems so sweet about it.
LOL She looked a little annoyed he first came in....I thought she was going to hit him when he kept getting in her face and touching her....
@MissGarland18 I´ve just started reading it here in Chile, South America.
Willie Wyler looks like one of the old war blokes in our RSL Club
windbag.
Ralph’s hair almost looks natural. Well, almost.
Even her mother hated her
Bette Davis used to have an affair with William Wyler, but Wyler refused to divorce with his wife due to his religion.
what do you mean ˝due to his religion˝? I am curious, was he a theist/atheist?
Oh, he married Margaret Tallichet instead. Bette waited too long.
alaindelonhj You have part of the story right. Davis and Wyler did have a love affair, but Davis played hard-to-get for too long and Wyler married another woman. Katharine Hepburn had a lifelong affair with Spencer Tracy, who refused to divorce his wife because of his Catholic faith. Of course, his faith didn’t stop him from having a partnership with Hepburn. Wyler was Jewish.
Pure 50's cheese. Why was this brought back in the 70's? It's just so artificial but nice to see Davis.
Ice Queen...........
why do they have the guests sit on a box?? Cheap skates
What year was this ?
Right ..as if she didn't know Ralphie was coming....and Robert Wagner dressed to 9's for a costume meeting? Uh huh .. sure.....
I don’t believe Bette did know, but she might have had a hunch. Wagner was dressed up for it because he set her up.
Bette didn’t know. She just couldn’t get out of it lol. She couldn’t hide she’s annoyed at first but I think she’s happy just the same to see Willie Wyler and some others.

The most awkward and cringe producing program ever.
I Totally agree....so corny

She's the best!
That’s her Yanky background.
I would not like Ralph's job. Everything is awkward

This Is Your Awkward Life Part 1
