- Spring 1987, while promoting "This 'N That".
Thank you to the eBay seller/Bette Davis fan who ten years ago provided my father with rare Bette Davis interviews that became my best Christmas gift of 1999.
In commemoration of twenty years since the passing of America's finest screen actor and one of our greatest stars and human beings.
WE LOVE YOU MISS DAVIS!!!!!!!!! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Let's be real here its Bette Davis people??!!! The woman was around since the mid 20s acting and stopped in the 80s. If she takes her time giving a speech let her be and have respect!!
Yes you are so right, she was Bette Davis, they should have had respect for her but sadly they had none, shame on them.😝
um ... have you seen it?
Do you mean since she was in her mid 20s or the mid 20s. She was born in 1908 and she had her broadway debut in 1929. Took a few more years to break into film. It always bothered me in Feud when Kathy Bates/Joan Blondell says " things didn't start to boil over until the 40s when they were in their forties. Joan turned 40 in 1944 and Bette in 1948. It would have made more sense to say approaching their forties. They just don't make them like Bette anymore. Meryl is the only thing close and she's 71. Hopefully she works until the very end like Ms. Davis.
I met Bette Davis on February 13th, 1988, on Hollywood Boulevard, as she autographed my book, This N That. I stood in line for two hours. I shook her hand, spoke with her briefly, and waited out front for her to exit the store. I was so close, I was leaning on her limo. I had to get out of her way in order for her to get in the car. Her eyes were HUGE, blue, and beautiful. Her handshake was strong and firm. I have pictures. It was wonderful. I remember it like yesterday.
MrRJMGREEN Great story!
Oh.. How wonderful x
where can we see those photos please?
Oh I would DIE to meet Bette Davis. I guess if she were still alive, it would defeat the purpose
gosh ur lucky i admire this woman
They broke the mold with her. What a Dame.
Bette was so brave and courageous..A double masectomy, a stroke, a broken hip, and her daughter's slanderous book could not knock her out. Despite by how this point her body had been so ravaged, he still was able to put her best foot forward for her adoring fans. Bette you are a legend and an inspiration..We love you!
Jhecht, beautiful comment.
Facts 💯
At 5' 2" still an inch taller than Joan, Bette walked (and talked) that long, last, bitterest life and career mile ... with her last ton of character, courage and signature sass style.
Most of what you've written I agree with. However, I'm not convinced that her daughter's book was a slanderous piece.
@@texan903no book is slanderous. Books are written items. Written items can not slander.
Even after her stroke she was sharp as a tack. An intelligent, no-nonsense New Englander.
There is only one Bette Davis. Never again will there be another. Truly a star of the constellation.
This show 55 years AFTER she made her film debut and still a standing ovation.
Nothing but guts. She never cared how she appeared as long as it was honest and her best effort.
Amen! So true! She DID IT THE HARD WAY!
This comment is a mantra!
JD Olson what a beautiful and
And accurate comment
As long as she had her cigarettes she was fine.
R.I.P To them both Bette & Joan
They both died at the same age, 81.
Haya HEINRICH. Himmler confused Coukd u elaborate
@Haya HEINRICH. Himmler That's what I also heard & that many of the "women were/are transgenders!!!???
Joan was a great interviewer. Very engaged in the conversation, very respectful, and you can tell she really read her book and did her research to interview Bette
She said she had a vasectomy how is that good she's not a dude
Bette had fire and spirit, not to mention enormous talent. ya gotta love her!!
I just adored Bette Davis. An amazingly tough woman. She had to be to survive Hollywood in the Golden age.
There's an incredibly respectful and touching thing the producers do here... that chair to the right of Joan's desk is never there... they clearly put it there so Bette wouldn't need help getting up to the platform... you can see she goes right for it for support... It's one of those subtle little things that I find really gracious.
I didn't even notice that. That's wonderful! What I love about Joan and always have is when she respects and admires someone, it's genuine and she goes all out. Which is why it's incredibly annoying when some people say how "mean" she was, cause that's not true.
@@AllenMQuinn She was a witch as well. When she got old and got meaner as she did. She could be a angel but also could be a class A Witch. Don't get sentimental and forget the way she behaved in the last years of her life. She went from treating others with respect, to becoming a bitter old lady that refused to get old. The older she go she would began to be just hateful not funny anymore.
Anitra Duke you sound like you’re the witch. With that hateful and spiteful comment to a renowned actress who did something great in their life.
@@user-dx5bn4yk4f lol I call them like I see them and at the end of her life she was hateful. The more plastic Surgery she got the more she got hateful.
I never noticed that.....how great of them to do that inconspicuously!
Bette Davis on the Joan Rivers show is truly amazing and awesome 🎉🎉. 2 celebrities on one stage. 1 trail blazer on the acting stage and another trail blazer on the comic stage🎉🎉 These 2 ladies bring class,and experience and just a true delight to see together on one show. I know that Joan Rivers knew she had acting royalty 👑 up on her show🎉🎉
To have lived a life... where there is virtually NO compliment that has not been paid to you - This is the life of Bette Davis.
I’ve loved Betty Davis since I was a little boy I’m 56 years old now and she’s still the best actress ever!
Some people are timeless! Ms. Davis is one of them
The greatest actress that ever lived Miss Bette Davis. Samantha in Sacamento
Are you still in Sacramento?
Two of my Favorite powerhouse Ladies! How ironic that Joan would end up being much more interesting and spunky in her later years just like Bette. They both were survivors and perfectionists. Both of them were so relatable and had no qualms about speaking their minds! Bette Davis was a true class act...
I was just thinking this same thing!
Brilliant amazing elegant actress. The best of the best. Brava Bette👏👏
I met Bette on February 13th, 1988. She was wonderful, shook my hand, and spoke to me about baby Jane. I loved her.
With today's talent, Bette would habe 17 oscars.
She was the Greatest movie actress in the history of cinema!!!! Amazing actress!!!
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford the best ever saw in Hollywood better then today's movie stars and both was and still the QUEENS OF HOLLYWOOD!
Bette and Joan are awesome. Amazing at acting, too.
@@2getha5evaYes they were. Don't leave out Gloria Swanson. She gave a remarkable performance that only Bette and Joan could stand up against.
Bette Davis and Joan Rivers sharing a set together. My two idols growing up. I am in Gay Heaven right now. I miss these two soooooooo much!!!
I didn't know Bette Davis was 5'2. She's petite. That's so cute.
Oh, very petite, yes
Just love Bette Davis she is absolutely charming, witty and gracious in this clip. Although she is frail and in her later years here she is a still a HUGE presence. I still enjoy her movies she was one of the greats!
Yes I agreed
She was soo frail but still boss
I recall this! I also admired that Ms. Davis insisted on getting her assistant on the show and "not talk behind her back" lol. How in awe to have the book dedicated to her, but have it read to her ON THE AIR BY MS. DAVIS HERSELF!!! For someone who had a stroke, she was able and coherent up to the end. RIP Ms. Davis.
R.I.P to both these talented women!
Poor Bette looks so frail, but she was still tough!
Two great ladies. Thank you Bette Davis and Joan Rivers for sharing your lives with us and giving us years of great entertainment.
Great times! Different times! Time we will never get back but can remember!
Joan looks fantastic here! Great marriage of hair and jewelry from the '80s, which could sometimes bury a person...
Classy, talented & not afraid to speak her mind. Rest In peace, Miss Davis....
I LOVE BETTE DAVIS. She is the BEST actress EVER!!!!!!
She's brilliant, I miss her. The Anniversary is one of my favourite films she made in England, she was perfection and should have won an Oscar for this role.
Can you imagine people treating the great Bette Davis so badly. Here she was out in the world being productive aftet a severe strokje and people were knocking her?! They should have praised her.
Pure class, what more can you say?
+mikeykm1993 ...Pure class is right!
Apart from the tissue 🤢🤢🤢🤢
@@handsoffmycactus2958 really!!!
Ms Davis, upfront, honest & delightful❤️❤️❤️❤️ I sure miss Joan, she was fab!!? RIP ladies
She was a class act and a force to be reckoned with. Simply the greatest actress of all time.
Standing ovation was WELL DESERVED MISS DAVIS!!! 💅💅💅
Yes, I was. She autographed This N That, I stood on Hollywood Blvd, leaned on her limo, waited for her to come out, and got pics of her, her driver, her bodyguard, and Kathryn. I was THAT close. It was awesome. Then, I went home and watched myself on the 10pm news. Those were the days of VHS tapes, so, it's gone now, very sad.
She is really together to have suffered aa stroke. From the "star" generation. More talent and class and decorum in her little finger than most of these "celebrities" today.
Amen All we have with few exceptions is scum J lo low low low
dude that's really bette davis and joan rivers, oh how my favorite things come together
I love these two women. RIP ladies.
2 legends
What a courageous dauntless woman. Always have loved her as an amazing actor. I can watch her for hours! That HBO movie with her and James Stewart is so moving and a timely subject.
2022 you tube has it available. "Right of Way" 1983
Two legends. How we miss them!
Bette had had two strokes, and she still speaks better than most of the people I have to deal with. God Bless 'em both, Bette and Joan (Rivers, not Crawford. well, perhaps Crawford as well, but don't tell Bette).
Miss Bette Davis. Respect xx
I've spent my life learning to speak slowly
That was the best part!
Hilarious.
Betty Davis has always been and always will be my favorite movie star I love her so In the much in hush hush sweet Charlotte rest
she will live forever.
Her Mesmerizing Beauty during her younger days was
Unmatched until now.Only Audrey Hepburn comes close!
Catherine Deneuve
love the so dereserved standing ovation! what a great lady!
love it!!!!!!! She was SOMETHING!! Classic actress, icon, legendary!
Bette is so entertaining and intelligent any interviewer worth their salt just needed to shut up.
BEST ACTRESS EVER!
this woman is truly legend....
Oh, she s so sweet about her assistent. And Joan really admire her and let Her talk. Love this.
She was very sweet to her fans. She stayed an extra hour, she signed pictures, other books, etc when notices were handed out saying that she would not do this. She was wonderful.
Today, forget it - a big star will leave early with a whole line of people who have been waiting for hours... many having paid for VIP meet & greet tickets. But stories like yours hit a nerve for so many... I know exactly how you felt to meet your idol... thank you for sharing.
@@briancooney7183 You are very welcome.
my favorite actress EVER.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. She was autographing This N That. It was truly amazing. I got pictures of her coming out of B Dalton on Hollywood Blvd. She was sheer class.
Bless you always for sharing this wonderful video.
Two icons who will never be forgotten, enjoying each other.
#JOAN#RIVERS.. Did a BEAUTIFUL JOB, when interviewing THE LEGENDARY #HOLLYWOOD#ICON#BETTE#DAVIS
I always loved Bette Davis and still do. RIP Bette. You certainly did it your way!
The greatest!
love her.
RIP Joan and Bette, isn't it eerie and ironic that Joan died the same age as her Hollywood actress idol and the women she admire alot, both died at age 81. Bette Davis died in 1989 at age 81 and Joan died at age 81 in 2014. They were extraordinary ladies.
Sharp Dressed Beautiful Lady. I always loved Bettie Davis. She was just Absolutely great in The Movie- Whatever Happened To Baby Jane! She was a very strong Lady. RIP Miss Bettie Davis. You will always be remembered, Never forgotten. ❤️ You ❤️.
You go Bette!! Good for you for telling it like it was!!
Yes she did!!
Joan Rivers has also passed away.
Hope they are having fun in heaven.
Both Beautiful and talented in their own right.Loved Betty Davis, Loved Joan.May they both be at peace, ....❤
Me too!! I liked Joan Rivers too!!
@@charlenemoriarty1506 The thing about comedy is you can be real.People who understand and love it for what it brings to life, dont judge it, but laugh about it, if you can.Those that cannot laugh with you are laughing at you..
The Queen of all actresses and a great woman who had the fighting spirit until the end of the her life. Much respect and love for you Bette!
LEGEND
Ms Davis, one of the great ones.
When I am home the 1st thing I do is go across the board of TCM and see if Bette Davis has a movie coming on. If so I set up my timer to turn on that movie. If I do not see a movie that day..I continue to clean..
I miss JOAN soooo much

AND THAT IS HOW ONE WELCOMES A FUCKING LEGEND!!!!
Love both you Lovely Ladys. Thanks for sharing this. ✨👍✨👍✨👍🎂👍
This lady was a true professional to her craft and one of the finest human beings to grace the screen of entertainment Betty when you left some of the lights in the filming industry went with you forever. You madam was truly classic. Thanks.
Screen Legend.
Watching from Australia.
Thank you for publishing.
I had forgotten all about that Oscar incident. But then I have now pretty much forgotten about the Oscars anyway.
Fun fact Bette loved when the song came out. "The young people know and love me again. " Plus she made a fair amount of money. How you ask? Well interest in her old movies skyrocketed after the song's debut in 1981. The early 80s is when the VCR went from something for the very wealthy to something middle class people could afford. She didn't have percentages on all her movies but certainly some of them. I know she did for All About Eve and Baby Jane and I'm sure there are others.
The woman, the beautiful eyes, superb actress a true legend.
on your feet people!!! You're in the presence of a legend! geesh....
She is my favorite. Always has been. That's so cool to be able to have met her
Love Bette!
I dont care if she took 5 damn years to say one word ! That is Bette fucking Davis! I would kiss her hand like the queen she is !
- i would, too. She was a true Star....i was 7yrs old when this aired....but i love classic films from that era of Bette Davis.. Charles Laughton...Earl Flynn...Joan Fontaine...etc...i guess im an old soul 😎
Bette was an absolute hoot. I’m 70 now and have been crazy for her since Hush hush sweet Charlotte came out. She was beautiful and talented 🌸🌸🌸
For those of you who may not know Bette's assistant here, Kathryn Sermak is releasing her memoir of Bette later this year, the book is on AMAZON pre order
Miss D & me - it’s a great book, very respectful and no doubt the book Bette wanted her to write.
@@MarthaMansbridge I love Bette Davis.
Gosh, my eyes welled up when she read the dedication to her assistant/co-author. Can you imagine, someone like Ms. D praising like so? I would die.
heart breaking seeing her like in this.
but woman had spirit goddamit!
So true!! Spirit till the end!
What a nice intro by Joan.
One of my favorite actresses hands down ❤️
