We know her as Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth and Essex, the betrayed woman in All about Eve, the lovelorn spinster in Now, Voyager. Few other actresses have achieved such memorable drama or kept audiences enthralled for more than five decades. She is, of course, the incomparable Bette Davis.

This is an amazing book! B. D. Hyman took a lot of flak for exposing the crazy behavior of her mother, Bette Davis, but it served a purpose: a medium to make her mother take notice of how she hurt the family. This book is similar to Mommie Dearest, except for the fact that Bette Davis did not inflict physical abuse upon her children. Well-written book, interesting look back at Hollywood stardom.
boring in a way. It was as if the author was "out to get her mother," Bette Davis"~ (at books end Miss Davis was still living}. Still interesting enough that I did read it until the end. The author reminds me of a rich little brat , "mad at Mother".
Fascinating look at Bette Davis through eyes of her daughter who managed to paint her as a manipulative, dependent and abusive alcoholic. Truth or not, very trashy but fun read.
This is Bette Davis's daughter's account of her life with her mother.
