Girl Who Walked Home Bette Davis Biography (Softcover Book)

Noted film biographer Charlotte Chandler interviewed Bette Davis extensively in the last decade of her life, resulting in a biography in which the great actress speaks for herself. Chandler also spoke with directors,actors, and others who knew and worked with Davis, and includes brief s ynopses of all of her theatrical films.

Here are some more examples of Bette's wit to be found within these pages:

“I'm the one who didn't get the man, which is the more interesting character on the screen, but in real life sometimes I wish I could just have been the girl who got the man, and kept him. I got four husbands and several lovers, but I didn't keep any of them. I was invited to the White House, butno man stayed to share my white cottage.”

“My favori te actor with whom I never played, professionally or personally, was Laurence Olivier. I admired everything about him. He was a great actor, andhe was my dream man. Literally and figuratively. Larry was my fantasy l over, the perfect man, or at least I thought he would be. He was not only beautiful, but intelligent.”
