Bette Davis was never the Hollywood darling, but that didn’t stop her from becoming an icon. In fact, it might be what fueled her rise.
Bette’s sharp wit and relentless drive made her a force in an industry that didn’t know what to do with her. Over six decades, she transformed rejection into triumph, always keeping her eye on the prize—her career. Along the way, she sacrificed relationships, including three husbands and her oldest daughter.
As Bette clawed her way to the top, she faced criticism, betrayal, and ageism, all while cementing her legacy in classics like Jezebel and All About Eve.
For Bette, acting wasn’t just a job—it was survival. Every role was a fight to stay relevant in a town obsessed with youth and beauty.
But when the cameras stopped rolling, was the cost too high?
