BetteDavis19 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi! I will not be around a computer all weekend, so I thought I should post a couple of cute pics before I left! A cute picture of Bette with an ice cream cone, from, by my estimate, 1933-1935. Link to post Share on other sites
BetteDavis19 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Here's another one I just found. Bette is usually in dramatic roles, so I thought it would be nice to find a picture of her genuinely laughing and, from my guess, 1941-1943: Link to post Share on other sites
JamesJazGuitar Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Bette looks very nice in this picture. I admit it bugs me when people knock better for her looks. Hey, she wasn't a Rita, Ava or Lana but she had style and was attractive to me. Link to post Share on other sites
MovieGal53 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Bette, You've posted some great shots of Ms. Davis. It's a shame she didn't do more comedies because she was hilarious in The Bride Came C.O.D. also starring James Cagney. Link to post Share on other sites
BetteDavis19 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thank you SO much Movie Gal and James! It makes me feel SO HAPPY to know how people are feeling about my thread! But, I won't be able to post any new pics or threads here for four or five days because I am working on the 21st Unofficial Programming Challenge, sorry! But anyone who wants to post something here can while I'm working! Bette Link to post Share on other sites
TikiSoo Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Sorry to resurrect this thread...thought it might be the best to add photos to. I'm reading Charlotte Chandler's biography of Bette and just love it! It's full of real quotes from Chandler's conversations with Bette & quite revealing. I'm sorry, but I just love Bette & her attitude/observation about Hollywood movie making. Realizing I was only a half hour away from her birthplace in Lowell Mass, I decided to take a drive to see it. Lowell is a pretty town populated with fancy churches & beautiful Victorian style homes. There is a nice placard on the house in lieu of numbers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thanks for the pic, Tiki! I hope the house hasnt been divided up into apartments? It looks in good shape. Link to post Share on other sites
HelenBaby2 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 She’s is my absolute favorite. I might have to get that book. Link to post Share on other sites
LsDoorMat Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I wish Universal would digitize "The Bad Sister" (1931). I think it was one of three films Bette did for Universal before they cut her loose and George Arliss brought her to Warner Brothers. That way there would at least be a chance TCM might show it. It has Bette AND Humphrey Bogart, except at the time both were billed below Sidney Fox and Conrad Nagel. Bette is dressed up so plainly in this film. However, it is a real hoot and I think most TCM viewers would enjoy it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

She had a lovely, old-fashioned style. I remember referring to her as the last Gibson Girl. Link to post Share on other sites
