Watching a Bette Davis interview is like the start of a Netflix Binge. Once you start, you just can't stop. -- What I admire and respect about Bette is she's blunt and honest, but not obnoxious about it. Today's celebrities don't seem to get you can be straight forward AND still have manners.
i was actually IN the audience the afternoon this was taped. one of the MOST amazing moments of my life. Bette was UNBELIEVABLE!!! This was before any of her illnesses, strokes, etc. She was PERFECT!
What a wonderful woman. Her wit and charm keeps drawling me again an again. A helluva an actress. I wouldnt wish her any other way. I salute u an ur memory
This clip is amazing to see these Two classy, legendary and Iconic figures in The Entertainment field. Thank God for youtube, film and TV archives that have saved and allow us to enjoy these Giants in Show Business..My paternal Grandmother's favorite actress was Bette Davis and they slightly resemble each other when they smoke and their facial features. Whenever I see Bette Davis always brings back a flood of great memories.
Before the stroke. On her last interview in the later 80's with Johnny, she was frail and thin, and the left side facial droop was noted. Her mind remained sharp as ever though. She was truly at her best of her later years at the time of this interview however. This was in 1982.
yes i agree Theoz69, Yes, i agree and thats why i love her. She is not pretensious and says whats in her mind and she is witty and i just love her interviews. What an amazing woman!!!! . Meryl Streep reminds me so much of her. Imagine Bette Davis doing "the Devil wears Prada" ???
Bette was a much better actress than Meryl. Streep is great, but no one can match Davis. Many of Streep's roles now she's just playing herself, whereas Davis would subsume herself within the role. I would like to see Meryl though play Bette Davis in film about her. I can see a Meryl playing the Margo Channing role in All About Eve. They should remake Eve now and do it in a more modern way with Streep as Channing.

Allen Quinn Totally agree! Been watching and re watching her interviews for over a year now.

She makes everything sounds good even if it’s a little heavy subject to talk about. What an amazing rarity!
Thank you so much! I love her!!!

Leave it to Bette Davis to wear a leopard coat, leopard hat, and toting Chanel. Love her!
Ya gotta love her...old cliche but they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
there is a second part of this interview that used to be posted...which is great as well.
Thank you so much for posting this. I remember taping it when it aired & my moronic nephew taped OVER it. I could've killed him!
Aries legend.
I love this leopard ensemble she has on. She looks stunning. Was this before the stroke?
Yes
yep! :)
