Wasn't she a beauty? They sure don't make 'em like they used to. Remember the song Bette Davis Eyes? It was actually written in 1974 by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon (DeShannon co-wrote other hits like Put a Little Love in Your Heart), but became a hit when Kim Carnes recorded her version of it in 1981. Apparently "Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them for making her 'a part of modern times'" (sourced from Wiki).
Bette Davis was a source of some memorable quotes, including "It's better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you're not. It's a sign of your worth sometimes, if you're hated by the right people"; and "Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world"; and of course, "When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch".

I really liked Bette Davis. She was a spunky and admirable woman that stood up for so many things: women's right, advocacy for African-American women etc. She was a powerful actress as well. I loved all of her movies. This is so beautiful.
Wow...now THIS is creative. I love it!

I love it!!!! I went through a Bette Davis phase in my early 20s watching all her old films. She was so fabulous!
Bette Davis rocks! Being one of the greatest female stars of all time, who wouldn’t miss her? I think the pink pin looks gorgeous and stunning in a light colored dress. Yeah, I think it’s high time we bring back the remarkable contributions of Bette Davis in the history of film-making.
