Gift Ideas for Bette Davis Fans

Lisa Riggs
Bette Davis' brilliant performances on screen as well as her reputation as a tough, no no nonsense woman who wouldn't think twice about telling you exactly what she thought of you has made her a screen legend. I remember very clearly the first time I was introduced to Bette Davis, courtesy of the film "Jezebel." I was entranced with her larger than life persona as well as her extraordinary talent as an actress. My subsequent knowledge of the woman herself only furthered my fascination of her. If you have a Bette Davis fan in your life, consider one of these gifts to make that next holiday extra special.

Heavily relying on interviews with those who knew her well as diary entries by Bette Davis herself, this book provides an honest and balanced look at the actress. Without glossing over the documented harsh treatment of those closest to the star, this biography delves into Bette Davis' painful upbringing which gives an insight into her future behavior. Much has been reported about Bette Davis' difficult and strained relations with all those she came into contact with. This book provides a look into what contributed to the screen legend's cantankerous personality.

Gift Ideas for Bette Davis Fans: "All About Eve" DVD. No Bette Davis collection is complete without this DVD. Also starring Anne Baxter as the manipulative and scheming Eve Harrington, "All About Eve," is movie gold. Bette Davis plays the role of Margo Channing who finds herself in the unfortunate position of needing to protect not only her professional life, but her personal life as well once Eve Harrington enters her life. Winning six Academy Awards, "All About Eve," stands up to the test of time.
