BetteDavis19 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is one of Bette at the piano. I wonder if she actually was playing, or if the photographers just wanted to get this gorgeous piano in the shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugeniaH Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 *one of the 75 houses that she lived in.* Wow, really?? Is this from childhood on, or from the time she arrived in Hollywood? ?:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetteDavis19 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Here's another, Bette in her bedroom. Get a load of that bed! And the rug is so cute, two little doves cuddling! I wonder where Ham is during all of this, probably looking for work as good as Bette was getting, as he so often did. That's why their relathionship crumbled, Ham was being a ham. He would get insanely jealous (well, maybe not insanely) of her. And, Eugenia, it was from childhood on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 After learning that Bette lived in 75 homes, being such a fan of hers, I tried to find pictures of as many as I could. Here's a picture of Bette living in a cute cottage called Butternut. It's still actualy available for rental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 This is one that Bette owned in Hollywood, some time in the 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Here's a cute house that Bette owned in the 30s, I wonder why the person who uploaded this picture to the internet decided to put a badly colorized picture of her in the corner?

BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 And, one of the seven wonders of the world for me (who cares about the Taj Mahal or the Colosseum? ), something I promise myself to see before I die, Bette's original home! She grew up in this house, she was born in this house! I wonder why the painters made it green and pink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugaarte Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I think Bette Davis' homes are so Beautiful. I Love the house where she grew up in. And I also love that it was painted Pink, with Green Shutters. And what a Lovely Cottage surrounded by all those colorful flowers. And with a stone walkway. Just Lovely ! And that is such an Awesome Baby Grand piano with thick legs, sitting on what appears to be octogon tiled floors. Was Bette Davis of a tiny stature, or was the furniture just BIG, because she seems to be 'dwarfed' by that Piano & stool she's sitting on. Also that bed too, appears to be gigantically huge, with her standing next to it. And I can just imagine a roaring fire in that 'Cabin-like' living room, drinking Hot Cocoa on colder days. Thank you for the tour through Ms. Davis' homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thank you so much for responding! I love hearing what people think about this post! By the way, Bette has just a small stature. She's pretty short, small-boned, and skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetteDavis19 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 I am the happiest person right now! I just found a picture of Bette two or three-years-old, I've been looking for one of her in her childhood for months! Ya-hoo! She is so cute! And, look at those eyes, they never changed throughout the years! The only thing that slightly troubles me about this picture is that it sort of looks like they put her in the electric chair! (Kidding , what a horrible thought!) What do you guys think (Eugenia?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derevna Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 My favorite would be a still from that 1934 Warner Brothers musical where Bette is the featured starlet. That is the best picture EVER taken of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetteDavis19 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 You must be talking about Fashions of 1934! I'll try to find some pictures and post them here from it.

BetteDavis19 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I am about to attempt something amazing. I am going to try to find a picture of Bette from every year that she lived. This might take awhile, so you guys will have to be patient with me. Okay, here I go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
