For nearly two decades, Bette Davis (1908-1989) reigned as Warner Bros.’ favorite choice for turbulent and explosive dramas, including The Letter, Jezebel, and In This Our Life. At Warners, Davis sparred with the best of them: Humphrey Bogart (Marked Woman), Errol Flynn (The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex), Paul Henreid (Now Voyager), and Claude Rains (Deception). As a freelancer, Davis glowed in The Little Foxes and All About Eve and unnerved Joan Crawford and audiences in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Join film historian Max Alvarez for this engrossing and entertaining look at Hollywood’s greatest and most uncompromising female star.
