I admire how she admitted her age - she was a very impressive lady, she had a fascinating,remarkable face with a special charm and incredibly pretty eyes and I really enjoy to watch her face, but she always seemed me to be older than she actually was... (but I don't mean it badly, personally I adore to see age,so I like if poeple look older, it adds charisma for me :-) and Bette was dangerously charismatic!!! )

This lady was really before her time. She played older characters so often, and throughout a lot of the 1960s, that we didn't often get to see what an attractive middle-aged woman she was.

I love how she takes a little bow she was very curteous, which I love, not many stars like that now a days. Love Bette :)

She passed a year before I was born too. If only we could've built a time machine to live a day in the Golden Age of Hollywood, just to see how glorious and determined those actors worked. It wasn't about glamor and admiration for Bette Davis. It was more about the craft and the work itself. She wanted to be remembered more than just admired.

Love her honesty!

That was her charm, behind the temperment was the truth, or at least as she saw it, and that why she was so respected.

I wonder if anybody else has ever admitted their Oscar was not warranted. She's absolutely right, but I'll bet nobody else has ever been so frank about their own work. I could name a few...

What a wonderful wonder!

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were both marvelous actresses. I loved Bette as Margo Channing in "All About Eve."

Wow people were much more articulate back then. As opposed to now where you get: kind of, like etc

The answers she gave about her oscar and her age are two of many reasons why this woman is simply divine! She was the heart and soul, the meat and potatoes, of being a Woman and being a Performer, two concepts that actually meant something back in her day. She still is the heart and soul of those two concepts to those of us who understand it and haven't let it change with time.

Bette Davis is so charming and lovely! I absolutely love her personality and poise, her honesty. You could really have a conversation with her. There's so bullshit about her.

This ROCKS! Thanks so much, I love watching stuff like this!

I actually saw this show when Game Show Network used to air black and white game shows every Sunday night many years ago. I was rather surprised when Bette actually revealed her age.

Wow, what a class act!

Bette is THE BEST

wow these questions are dead on, and u can see she's not trying to be callous

I beg to differ. Better most certainly did deserve an Oscar for playing drunken Joyce heath in dangerous...but should have received one as well for of human bondage...dark victory...now voyager...the letter...baby Jane...all about eve....and many more. She gave consistantly great performances and I thank my mom who made me a fan and shares bette's birthday of April 5th.

@OS253 I SOOOO agree!

Seeing the host and guest light ciggies on air, is like a bucket of cold water in the face nowadays.

She and Joan Crawford's feud spanned many years.

@2504marcus Hi :-) She was!!!! I love the way how she says: Correct :-D

Mae West, in the Las Vegas years, was clever enough to give herself a temporary facelift with the elastic chin strap of her enormous feathered hats.

Fans of the predecessor to this show, What's My Line, probably already know that Arlene Francis was the same age as Bette Davis.

Ironically, the guest before Ms. Davis on this episode was Pete Best

In those days, when wigs first became popular, the makeup folks used to use netting to pull up necks and throats of aging actresses, (ZsaZsa too) and pull and secure it at the top of the head. Then then put base and powder over the exposed neck part, and covered all net 'architecture' with the wig. OMG when dod I become such a bitch> I'm sure Bette would LOVE me.

These days celebs have so much to hide, affairs, drugs, cosmetic surgery, they take 10 minutes to answer the simplest question "Honestly"

any person that is dressed as girl, and whom also is dramatic and strong with their voice looks like a drag queen. Also walking with stiff back and more like man walk? I think the term DRAG stands for Dressed As Girl in theater performers. It may be that Betty Davis has been performed by drag queens and were so good at mimicking her dramatic voice and gestures, that she now comes across as also coming across

Girl didn't go anywhere without her purse.
