Bette Davis, in her day, was certainly a "star". In today's speak she would be a "super star" or even a "mega" star. Whatever label is given, she was great at her job, giving me decades of wonderful entertainment. Thanks heaps for this clip. Terrific stuff!

Wonderful story-nothing like the hateful vitriol we now live out day in and day out in, 2021. Heartwarming to see repentance and forgiveness acted out. The acting was superb! But then what can one ever say about, Bette Davis-simply the best of the best when it comes to acting! ❤️

The subtitles are hilarious! Davis called the 50s decade 'The Dark Year's' having to do a lot of television work and other projects way below her standards. She always did a great job with them though! There are many true gems among the costume jewelry.

Bette was going through a tough time in the 1950's. She married Gary Merrill and the marriage was a rocky one. She adopted a daughter who turned out to be brain damaged. And she started having bad dental problems. She wasn't getting work like she used to and her looks started to tank despite only being in her early forties. Cycles of life . . . .

@@auntiechercher4266 The real problem with their marriage is that Davis didn't marry Gary Merrill. It was Margo Channing who fell in love with and married Bill Sampson. I heard this confession in an interview where they never really knew each other, they fell in love with each other's characters in the movie.

@@bellaboop1 Yeah, I heard it too . . . dumb analogy in my opinion. They married too soon after knowing each other for only a short period of time. It was a tough decade ahead for Bette, but the one bright spot was her son Michael - which came out of that marriage.

This is a gem. I love anything & everything BETTE DAVIS. You could never find this stuff anywhere else, but some nice intelligent person who knows how to share this material with other fans. Almost all of Bette's movies are on DVD, but very little on her TV work. I wonder if anyone ever thought of putting a box-set of Bette Davis's TV movies and short films on DVD ! Don't you think that would be a wonderful idea ? There is so much TV material and series out there to chose from that I think a box-set of Bette Davis TV movies and such would be a hit.

Bette had also made three different guest appearances on the "Wagon Train" TV show: "The Ella Lindstrom Story" (1959, S2 ep. 18) "The Elizabeth McQueeney Story" (1959, S3, ep 5) "The Bettina May Story" (1962, S5, ep 12) In each appearance, she plays a different character, but at the same time shows a lot of nuance and acting range.

Fabulous! The always marvelous Bette, along with other delightful actresses & actors, whom of which, each & all, played various roles, & characters, in many films & sitcoms & dramas, both big screen & television. Not to mention, they'd all most assuredly, been on stage in many facets of entertainment. Even the infamous, Vaudville. Anyone notice Ms Howell, from Gilligan's Island!? I adore these short stories. Bette performed in several such half hour productions, for television. She was elated to act in any forum, not just the Big Screen productions. She could so easily float between any type of acting format. Some Stars were too afraid to leave the "Movie Stars Big Screen" for tv plays or bit parts in tv, or venture outside of their label. Bette did everything! Thank God! We can enjoy such as this gem! She was uniquely unique! Love this. Thank you for sharing! Love all of these actors here.
