All About Bette
With a body of work that spans over 50 years for which she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in 1976, Bette Davis came to be known for intense, passionate and brooding portrayals of often dysfunctional or unsympathetic characters.
From parts like Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950) and Baby Jane Hudson in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) she displayed a uncanny ability to bring diverse and complicated characters to life - a far cry from her humble beginnings as a contract player at Warner Bros studios in the late 1920s.
