I watch a number of her movies many times over.

Isn't she just the best, @qualitygal ?   A classic, with wonderful performances that, as you indicate, can be watched and savored repeatedly.

I enjoyed Bettye's performance in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962).

@Oznell  and as I watch these old classics, I love how they end.  So simple and quick.

Was never a fan of this woman.  I believe she had two personas, one when the camera was on and another when in private. He daughter, Barbara Hyman. claimed that her mother could be a violent alcoholic who staged fake suicides to scare her children. Davis’s fourth husband, actor Gary Merrill, spoke about Davis’s drinking — downing a bottle of whisky in a night.

@qualitygal   It's Bette.

Real name:  Ruth Elizabeth Davis.

Despite the acrimony of their divorce years earlier, Davis's former husband, Gary Merrill, defended Davis and claimed in an interview with CNN that B. D. was motivated by "cruelty and greed".

B. D.'s brother through adoption, Michael Merrill, ended contact with B.D., and refused to speak to her again.

She is my all time favorite actress.  I've seen all of her movies many times over.  Among my favorites are The Petrified Forest, All About Eve, Dark Victory, and several more.
