Very large heavy book! By Richard Shickel and George Perry
An Academy Award-winning actress and one of the most riveting and volatile personalities the screen has ever known, Bette Davis comes to life in the pages of this lavish, fully illustrated tribute. “Bette Davis: Larger Than Life” is a lavishly illustrated tribute to one of the most acclaimed and recognised stars in the history of film. She was a fighter who took on the Hollywood establishment at the drop of a hat. She revelled in lifelong feuds (with arch nemesis and “Baby Jane” co-star Joan Crawford). Her personality leapt off the screen and earned her an unprecedented number of high-profile nominations and awards for her work in films like “Jezebel”, “Dark Victory”, “All About Eve”, and “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” As the epitaph on Davis’ tombstone reads, ‘She did it the hard way’. Through a biography, comprehensive filmography, and hundreds of photos, readers will find out why. Features include: fully authorized – this book is being produced with the full blessing, cooperation, and assistance of the Bette Davis Estate; ‘The First Lady of Film’ – that was her nickname, and she earned it. She was nominated for 11 Best Actress Academy Awards during her career (5 of them in consecutive years) and won twice; Richard Schickel & George Perry – the authors are world-renowned critics and filmmakers; rare photos – with access to Bette Davis’ estate and archives in the U.S. and U.K., the book is scattered with rare and previously unpublished publicity and personal shots of Davis and the Hollywood life of her day; and, She was Larger than Life – Bette was the quintessential temperamental star who broke new ground for women in Hollywood while accumulating a lot of enemies (and devotees). Her life and career stories make a fascinating read. Bette Davis eyes – from her famous sneer, to her chain smoking, to her exaggerated mannerisms and ‘ticks’, Bette Davis is one of the most recognizable stars in movie history.
