Originally published in 1987, a collection of anecdotes as well as opinions pro and con on a wide range of subjects by legendary actress Bette Davis--now in ebook for the first time!

A woman of strong appetites and opinions, Bette Davis minces no words. In frank, no nonsense terms she talks about the stroke that nearly killed her, and inspires us with the story of her subsequent recovery from cancer--a lively and encouraging account shot through with the star's unique blend of spunk and wit.

Davis was famous for being as unsparing of herself as she was of others. Among the "others" of this book are President Ronald Reagan, who was a contract player at Warner Bros. when she was; Joan Crawford, her costar in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?; Humphrey Bogart; Marilyn Monroe; Elizabeth Taylor; and Helen Hayes, Bette's costar in her first film after her illness, Murder with Mirrors. She also talks about her deep friendship with her longtime assistant, Kathryn Sermak, who nursed Davis back to health after her stroke and ushered her back into acting when Davis's doctors thought all hope was lost.

As Davis says, "If everyone likes you, you're doing your job wrong." This is a unique and controversial book by one of the most incandescent and unconventional acting talents of all time, as magnetic and supremely talented as the lady herself.

This 'n That eBook Bette Davis

I recommend that you read Ms Davis' first autobiography, "A Lonely Life," before reading this one. I believe that you will find her to be much more comfortable writing this one. Bette Davis deserved so much more recognition than she received, especially from her family. Most people missed that she was a true caretaker... and I believe those closest to her took advantage of her kindness & compassion.

This 'n That eBook Bette Davis Reviews


Great read! Honest and no nonsense. Loved this book!!!
this is a great book, written by the author so you know its true.
Bette is wonderful and true to herself ......
Entertaining, thoughtful, inspired!

Loved her movies. Never had the opportunity to see her live on stage.
This is a good read!
I bought this book because I have always admired Bette Davis' enormous acting talent. This is not a book about all the movies she made nor a “tell-all” about the stars she worked with. Instead it is quite personal and she touches upon her stroke, her trauma with breast cancer and her heartbreak over her family. It is a revealing portrait of triumph and despair.
I know Bette Davis didn’t tell it all in this autobiography, but it’s interesting to hear what she’s chosen to tell.
Not really a straightforward chronological memoir but random memories interspersed with Ms. Davis’s opinions on a variety of subjects. She meant her recovery from breast cancer and a stroke to inspire others, and the books certainly succeeds in this. Only at the end does it concern itself with her daughter’s unflattering memoir, in an open letter to her daughter and a slew of supportive letters and newspaper columns from friends and fans.
I like the stories of her life. You can hear her voice when you are reading it. It seems a little free form. Paragraphs not always tied together. I have the impression their are a lot bigger stories than what are being shared. I admire Bette Davis and she has a work ethic that is not around a lot now.
