Bette Davis with an "e" is the great actress. Betty Davis with a "y" is actually a funk singer, best known for her song "If I'm In Luck" and for being married to Jazz great Miles Davis at one time, for about a year, and being influential on his music during that year. Betty Davis, the singer, retired from music in 1979, and isn't remembered as much today, but she was controversial in the 1970s for singing too many sexual kinds of songs. This year, (2019) Betty Davis, the singer, came out of retirement to release her first new song in 40 years, called "A Little Bit Hot Tonight." So when speaking of the actress we should remember she spelled it with an "e," while the singer used a "y."

Sweet sweet Charlotte.

I have watched that movie about ten times and never grow tire of it. Smart dialog and awesome acting

😂😂😂 yes!

As well as that Beautiful Welsh..Bonnie Tyler.

I dont know anything else she did

@@special420player Yes, basically a one hit wonder but she did have a top 5 hit with Kenny Rogers "Don't Fall In love With A Dreamer".

@@Suve35967 Loved "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie.

Serious question, though-is there something wrong with her vocal chords giving her that thick rasp?

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

Now I feel old lol

I've known since early childhood who she was, even having not seen any of her films. I figured it's just something everyone knows? 😂

Now I only feel a little old. Lol. India I your videos. Since my daughter moved out your videos are like having a friend over to listen to music and hangout.

I just typed the same thing then read this.

Or " I can kick ur ass" eyes! 😍 She was a GODDESS! Such an original & tuff as nails!

A beautiful woman, inside and out. Google it lol.

Big pretty eyes.

Me too !

Same here....

That just killed me. I truly thought everyone in the world must know who Bette Davis is. Yeah-I’m old. I want to ask my kids if they know now.

Out of the mouth of Babes - OMG

Right there with you pal.

But ya are Blanche ya are in that chair. 😁 I loved What Ever Happened To Baby Jane.

What a Dump! That Bette Davis

@@maxpolaris99 "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night." (Said at the start of a party, by the way.)

"Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." Indeed yes, _that_ Bette Davis.

@@Marcus-Oh-really-yes The one that blew me away was Barbara Stanwyck. I saw her as a fine looking older woman in The Big Valley. Then one day I saw her in a pre censorship movie when she was young. OMG! She was stunning back in the 30s.

Bettie Davis created the word DIVA

MrRondonmon I LOVE your description! ❤️

@Dahoss My first movie of hers was What Ever Happened To Baby Jane and she blew me away.

Don't forget Kate Hepburn

@@maxpolaris99 Harlow and Garbo are mentioned in the Lyrics, that is what Liz is referencing I think. My Fav. 30's and 40's actress was Jean Arthur, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Shane etc. etc.

Yes yes and yes !!!!

My granddaughter is named after Jean Harlow “HARLOW”

@Dahoss Yes, I was supposed to pick up some movies on a date in like 91 at a Video Store {VHS} and she wanted Back to the Future, and I choose Mr. Smith Goes to Washington & Captains Courageous and she was like, Black and White movies? Then when she found out they were both from the 30's she was like "you are old school", and I told her you will like these better than the BTTF movie and she was like Naaaaa. Well, she admitted that the older movies were much better and I guess she thought I was a keeper because we still watch those old movies to this day.....

Her name is spelled Bette.

Apparently, I had read, back in the day, it was one helluva concoction to get Harlow's particular shade of platinum

Back then, there was no dye on the market that could make one’s hair as white-hot as Harlow’s. Her personal hairdresser, Alfred Pagano, revealed the secret decades later, saying, “We used peroxide, ammonia, Clorox, and Lux flakes. Can you believe that?” www.thevintagenews.com/2018/06/12/jean-harlow/

Check out the movie “ Whatever happened to Baby Jane”( obviously the one starring Bette Davis). IMO her best movie, creepy but great

@@KJ-nd6jl I prefer her in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," but to each their own

@@lisamurdock6679 that’s a good one too

Hmmm - - and for the last 30 years I thought it was "Hollow gold." (yeah, Harlow makes more sense !)

you2099 LOL! It does sound like hollow gold when you listen to it. There are a lot of songs that have lyric Attention Deficit Disorder when you hear them including myself.

@@you2449 Yeah, man, me too. And, yeah, it makes perfect sense now...

Greta Garbo's stand off sigh! I want to be alone! Another beauty.

John Monastirli Yes!

simply a perfect film.

Hollywood royalty, one of the greats.

Northern Snowbird such a Shane she didn’t know

That was more Joan Crawford. She was the wicked one.

You must do your research. Bette Davis was a good soul.

@@chrisnagle2902 I meant in her movies she played mean roles and did them well.

Per Wikipedia: Actress Bette Davis, at the time 73 years old, wrote letters to Carnes, Weiss, and DeShannon to thank all three of them for making her "a part of modern times," and said her grandson now looked up to her. After their Grammy wins, Davis sent them roses as well.

The story is true. When BDE hit #1, Bette sent Kim a dozen roses and a note that said "Thank you for making me relevant again".

Look my young friends we all age and die it might be a smart thing to look back past your own time ... Thars gold up in them thar hills !

Source ???......all sales lists I found from bill board, RIAA, Wiki, it's not even top 30 in sales....Bing Crosby sold over 50 million of "White Christmas" mungo jerry has 30 million for "in the summertime, Bings "silent night" has 30 million,, Bill haley "rock around the clock" has 30 million....Elvis "it's now or never" has 20 million....Beatles, Olivia newton john, bee gees all have massive singles. what are Carnes numbers again??

TANTRUMGASM i was referring to weeks at number 1. Jeez, you sound like one of those StarTrek nerds who gets upset because the warp drive in episode 11 is different than episode 17. Source - being alive when it happened and listening to Kasey Kassem count it down on American Top 40. Go get a life! Seriously

@@rileyandmike ..ahh weeks at number 1,..meaning it was the top seller at the moment , against only the other bands at that moment..I see..so it is based on how long you outsell others..........I thought you wrote "Biggest Single EVER"...which is completely different.( an artist would much rather sell 20 million copies, and maybe hit #5 on a chart,than sell only 5 million, and hit #1)...... not really a star trek nerd..More of a music nerd. 35 Awesome years in the Music Industry will do that to person... .BTW...Carnes isnt the original artist for this song, here is the original keep reaching for the stars !!..Cheers!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKeBprJ7x9mRqaM.html

I remember. It was number one for 9 weeks. Physical by Olivia Newton John beat that record later I believe with 10 weeks. Not long after that music started sucking and I stopped paying attention. 🙂

@Philo Jones In the UK, 18 non-consecutive weeks- in US it went to #2 for 3 weeks. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Believe_(Frankie_Laine_song)

Agree.. even older she was the best actress.. when I was a kid this movie scared me.. she was scary.

She was never considered a sex symbol in Hollywood. Directors actually insulted her sex appeal. But she played very intense and fiery characters, and she had those eyes, so...

Pamela Morgan oh yeah I remember that , I’m gonna listen to that next

Lol I keep suggesting it. No one will do it. Hopefully soon

One of Kenny's greatest duets in my opinion.

I love that song! Haven't listened to it years.

Pamela Morgan dont forget Time after Time with Kenny Rogers & james Ingram!

Scarlett O'Hara my favorite is Now Voyager

Check out Dark Victory.

@Dahoss WHOA NELLY!!!

Smoky was so impressed that he wrote "Being With You" for her but his management thought it would be a needed hit for him...

Delightfullydemented65 the ORIGINAL pin up girl.

You both need to Google 'Mary Pickford!' BD was good, but she wasn't the first pinup......by decades!

@@jamespasifull I shoulda remembered her...I'm fairly-versed in "Black and White" Cinema (lower your hackles SJW and "racial warriors." I'm speaking of B n W TV and movies mortards). One of my favorite periods in history. I've always liked the "look" and style women had then. Great stuff...

@@drew65sep My daughter's a real fan, to the point of buying up handwritten letters, & personal artefacts, previously owned by b&w movie stars, & even some original cine film of them in action, & at play!

@@jamespasifull that's a pretty cool hobby to have collecting personal effects. One REALLY gets to know how a person, who may be famous, actually acts and feels away from the spotlight, and it's a great "microcosm" of history during those times. My daughter likes that period as well. She's a senior art major in college and her favorite thing is the "nose art" on the warbirds of the Second World War on up through Vietnam (an interest of her Pap she was curious about). Lol, there was no shortage of "pin-up" girls on the aircraft that flew over Europe and the Pacific (an art medium and style I enjoy). I took some art classes while in college during the early eighties before necessities dictated that I take a full-time job, thinking I'd go back at some point. Lol, decades later here I am in my mid-fifties, retired, and chatting with a fellow "father," doting over our daughters...lol, great stuff though. I only know you through a short comment, but it's not hard to see that you're a proud Papa, and rightfully so. Lol, talk about a "pissed off" Mama bear being protective...try squaring up with a Papa over his daughter (oh, how I loved scaring the sht out of her first date. Lol, the poor kid wouldn't talk to me for months afterward). Anyway, thanks for the reply and sharing info about your kid. I'll keep a good thought for you, daughter, and the rest of your family. Be safe through this virus crap we're all dealing with. Apologies for coming back and "editing" my comment several times.

And she wasn't supposed to be a soloist at first. The line she sang was supposed to be sung by Pat Benatar (who performed at the American Music Awards that night) but had to go home and rest because she very pregnant at the time.
