If I'm not mistaken, this is her first public appearance after having fought against a cancer, had four strokes and a broken hip... Nothing could stop the unsinkable, invincibile Bette Davis! What a great woman and artist!
@@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi I agree with your comment, but I think Bette ascribed too much blame to Crawford for her Oscar loss. Anne Bancroft gave a superlative performance in "The Miracle Worker", and the subject matter was much more profound than "Baby Jane". Hollywood has always liked to reward serious films.
I think that it wasn't the strokes nor the cancer that killed her . But it was the lies and betrayal of her daughter. When she wrote that horrible book about Ms. Davis which lead to her dieing
WHAT A TROOPER...AFTER ALMOST DYING FROM A STROKE, THIS LADY MADE A FANTASTIC APPEARANCE AT THE AWARDS...THE STROKE TOOK ITS TOLL...BUT SHE WAS STILL DEAD ON...MISS HER....
*insert tears streaming down my face here* I may only be 22, but I'm such a fan of Bette. I really wish I had the honor to be alive during the same time as her...let alone meet her...even if it was only for one year of our lives that crossed paths. Thank God we still have her AMAZING work on film. (Side note, I would have LOVED to be in a room with her and just talk for hours! I honestly feel like I would be able to play off of what she says and just appreciate having someone else with the same sense of humor (or whatever you want to call it) to talk for hours with (assuming I would have had the chance) ♡ *wipes away tears*
I remember how as a little kid I used to spend time with my grandparents in the Caribbean. They had only one television station on the island, and they used to show one of the really old Hollywood movies every Sunday afternoon. They called it the Sunday Matinee. As a kid growing up in a culture that didn't focus much on these classic films, I was the odd one out in my family who took a liking to them, and Bette Davis was one of the first actresses I remember from those movies. She was one of a few from that time who are simply unforgettable. Some people are just bigger than life, and she certainly was.
So who would be the greatest? Meryl Streep with her 500 accents? That's the talent of an impressionist not of an actor. If you take away the foreign accents, what left? Not a single one of her American accented performances even compares to her foreign roles.
@@bluedasher74 I was okay with your individual opinion of calling Bette Davis as "the greatest actress ever", but then you proceed to downplay the achievements of another great actress Meryl Streep (when nobody even mentioned her) to show your opinion as the gospel truth... Also, just to answer your question, if you take away her foreign accents, still Meryl's performances have a lot of emotions, finesse and body/face expressions "left" in them...
It's interesting that Bette's opening remark is about missing applause from an audience. In one of Bette's most famous films, Eve Harrington says applause is "like waves of love coming over the footlights and wrapping you up".
Bette died three years after this appearance in France. Other celebrities that have also died in France are Jim Morrison, Anthony Bourdain, Olivia De Haviland, Oscar Wilde, Josephine Baker, Marlene Dietrich, and Princess Diana.
Her ironic look when she says, “But everyone knows how mean I am” was very touching to me. This was a few months after her daughter’s vile book was published. It makes me glad that book was never reprinted by the publishers and got consistently bad reviews. Bette’s own success and incredible reputation had the last word.
Yes, you should standup , applauding, and bowing in front of the queen!! This is someone who loved her craft, more than money, and fought for, her entire life!!
I love Bette Davis so much, ...no one can take an opportunity for her to talk away from her before she's good and ready,...Sidney Pollack was very gracious...lol
She made one more memorable film after this appearance, "The Whales of August" with Lillian Gish, Vincent Price and Ann Sothern. And she worked right up to the end, starring in the 1989 movie "Wicked Stepmother." She clashed with the film makers and left the project during filming.
It's such a joy to go down memory lane and watch these Oscar clips of years ago. Sadly, today's awards' events are lacking the same elegance and prestige.
she looks pretty good here! My favorite actor ALWAYS - The GREAT Bette Davis! The stroke and cancer didn't slow her magnificent mind one tiny bit. She is what a legend is all about. I miss her very much.
I freaking loved how spontaneous & free spirited she was in that stage! Her admitting that she was mean some times,and the way she presented those awards! Even there she performed gloriously i believe!
Sydney I think realized it might be a good idea for her to stand closer to him during his acceptance speech. He handled that like a gentleman. What a guy! And....love her to pieces ❤
Who was the brilliant producer who decided to have the very frail lady walk 400 yards to stage? It's Bette Davis! Star amongst star. She should have been front row center and two gentleman should have helped her up the stairs. A trouper. A real star.
I went to see an evening with Bette at the London paladium many years ago but although we had opportunities to speak to her via a roving Mike I sat with my mouth open staring in awe the entire time magnificent actress the best of her era xx
Its a shame people got to get old, isn't it? What else sucks is the fact that people can get better by learning from what people did in the past, but I honestly do not see any actress today that can grab your attention or act with the intensity as Bette.
I remember watching this with my mother that night. And we both thought the color purple was better and should have won. The kiss of the Spider woman is still one of the most underrated movies ever. All hail Betty Davis. 👍🧐💕🏆🇺🇸
Bette had a sentimental side to her because Life Magazine once showed an employee time punch clock that Bette bought at an auction. She said that she worked at the factory where the time punch clock came from before becoming famous and she said that she both feared and hated that clock when she worked there there because they fired people who were late.
Everyone knows of the never ending feud between Bette and Joan Crawford,but there at the last she said the actor she hated working with the most was Faye Dunaway.I guess it was a well kept secret for years .

That voice, that presence is undeniably Bette. She owns every stage, every camera, every audience she comes near.
She WAS HOLLYWOOD
Bette never gave up. She fought back after multiple strokes and was always looking for the next part in a picture. She was indomitable!
@ 1 time , ( 195?BD), advertised in an LA ppr 4 a part.
@@michaelynedwards1043 ... She did so several times, & only half-jokingly.
She was totally a boss. She should have won for Baby Jane. But lost to Jown Crawford's campaigning skills. Or Anne Bancroft whatever you may call it.

Well said
Bette Davis, we love you!
Lady with an attitude
Fellas that were in the mood
Dont you stand there
Let’s get to it
Strike a pose
Nice to have seen the standing ovation and the very warm reception she totally, totally deserved. Bette Davis IS Hollywood royalty.
No matter what you’ve done in life, you know you’ve truly won something if Bette Davis hands it to you.
He was lucky she let him speak!!!
My god, a Hollywood classic. She was EVERYTHING!
Si!
@@Sanpedranoazul Absolutamente
towards the end bette was still sharp as a knife and didnt give a F not that she ever really did. This woman is still very much alive. I love her
All that drinking and smoking she is a force ...old school G
Smart as a tack right up till the end,..no stroke or cancer stopped this woman.
yup, fortitude was in her blood. tough as nails.
She died of breast cancer!
@@Davey7358 But she also had four strokes. But died when the cancer returned.

Unfortunately, it WILL stop most of us.
Just so confident & like she never gave a fuck. Absolutely am so excited for FX's FUED

Bette Davis the most and Best actress of the all time.
All love and respect to this Woman !❤️
HER MAJESTY QUEEN BETTE DAVIS 👑
Bette priceless.........
THE QUEEN herself. The greatest actress ever.
"The greatest actress ever"? *Hardly.*
So who would be the greatest? Meryl Streep with her 500 accents? That's the talent of an impressionist not of an actor. If you take away the foreign accents, what left? Not a single one of her American accented performances even compares to her foreign roles.
Maggie Smith.
Not to disparage Bette at all, but a lot of her performances were very similar to one another. She definitely had her niche.
Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis are the greatest actresses. By far.
After and after both, we have other great actresses.

Bette was the most incredible actress to ever grace the silver screen!
"...but then everyone knows I'm very mean anyway." HA!!
The greatest actress ever! Pure talent...till the end!
It's interesting that Bette's opening remark is about missing applause from an audience. In one of Bette's most famous films, Eve Harrington says applause is "like waves of love coming over the footlights and wrapping you up".
This is priceless... Love you, Bette!!! You are still The Queen, The Best, and will always be!!!
The absolute best there ever will be for all time !!!!

Bette ruled
LOOK at Bette Davis just standing there with her hands on her hips 5:21! I love her. Wicked, Sharp, On Point. Pure Bette.
The woman was gifted with a unique God-given *genius: no question about it: she was fascinating*
And actually she was lucky in not being a classic beauty: served her versatility much more!
She made one more memorable film after this appearance, "The Whales of August" with Lillian Gish, Vincent Price and Ann Sothern. And she worked right up to the end, starring in the 1989 movie "Wicked Stepmother." She clashed with the film makers and left the project during filming.

The true Queen of Hollywood.
Bette was always a wonder: a true embodiment of independent and witty woman. Not to mention her out-of-this-world eyes...
Hope they all realised just how lucky they all was to be in the presence of Hollywood royalty and a true star
⭐️ ❤🌟❤️⭐️❤️
Her walk on stage reminds me of Sunset Blvd. Iconic.
What's admirable about Bette Davis she always loved the spotlight and only took formidable measures to be in it
Bette was such a doll! I bet she was a handful back in the day....
No matter who's on stage with her except for a few she is always the star!
Simply The Greatest!

She is bigger than life

Classic Bette! Where have all the greats gone?
All the greats are in heaven I can't wait to be with them.
The one and only fabulous, iconic, legendary and unforgettable Bette Davis!
one of, if not the greatest actress that ever lived
Its a shame people got to get old, isn't it? What else sucks is the fact that people can get better by learning from what people did in the past, but I honestly do not see any actress today that can grab your attention or act with the intensity as Bette.
Big R
Yes, it is a shame. She is one of those people that you wish would live forever. I guess the only bright side is that she is forever on film. 😊
An absolute QUEEN if I ever see one.
For me the best actress of all times.
That standing ovation! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
how much PERSONALITY she could have??!!!
I love how she damn near made the exception speech for him! MARVELOUS DAHLING! 🚬
Bette was not about to give up center stage! lol
Well, I loved Bette. 💁🏼♂️
She was an amazingly fearless women and her talent unmeasurable, and I can safely say…It sucks getting old.
"Runaway Train"? You've got to love the Golden Globes.
ICON.......................................................
Good films back then, not the crappy remakes w/ B -flat actors nowadays
Better davies,such a star ! My favourite actress of all time 😊
The one and only queen of the screen Bette Davis
The epitome of Icon
Lol I love the look she gives after saying "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
yess 😂😂😂
At this movie title, she must’ve wondered : »what? »
Bette will always be Bette one class act no matter what they say....she did it the hard way!!!
What a Year for Movies!
The stroke at least didn't rob her of her dignity.
Or her sense of humor!!! She was an amazing woman!
I remember watching this with my mother that night. And we both thought the color purple was better and should have won. The kiss of the Spider woman is still one of the most underrated movies ever. All hail Betty Davis. 👍🧐💕🏆🇺🇸

Bette had a sentimental side to her because Life Magazine once showed an employee time punch clock that Bette bought at an auction.
