Originally publicized in 1987, a collection of anecdotes as well as viewpoints pro and con on a wide range of subjects by legendary actress Bette Davis! A woman of strong appetites and viewpoints, Bette Davis minces no words. In frank, no-nonsense conditions, she discusses the stroke that nearly wiped out her and inspires us with the story of her succeeding recovery from cancer - a lively and encouraging profile shot through with the star's unique mixture of spunk and wit. Davis was well-known for being as unsparing of herself as she was of others. Among the list of "others" of this book are Chief executive Ronald Reagan, who was simply a agreement player at Warner Bros. when she was; Joan Crawford, her costar in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?; Humphrey Bogart; Marilyn Monroe; Elizabeth Taylor; and Helen Hayes, Bette's costar in her first film after her health problems, Murder with Mirrors. She also discusses her deep friendship with her longtime helper, Kathryn Sermak, who nursed Davis back to health after her stroke and ushered her back to behaving when Davis' doctors thought all anticipation was lost. As Davis says, "If everyone prefers you, you're doing all your job incorrect." That is a unique and controversial reserve by one of the most incandescent and unconventional behaving talents of all time, as magnetic and supremely talented as the lady herself.
