Bette Davis
Bette Davis Ruth Elizabeth Davis was born April 5, 1908 in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA. She passed away from cancer October 6, 1989 in France. Her parents divorced when she was a child & she was raised, along with her sister by her mother, Ruthie. Bette demanded attention practically from birth which led to her pursuing a career in acting. After graduation from Cushing Academy she was refused admittance to Eva LeGallienne's Manhattan Civic Repertory because she was considered insincere and frivolous. She enrolled in John Murray Anderson's Dramatic School and was the star pupil. She was in the off-Broadway "The Earth Between" (1923). Her Broadway debut in 1929 was in "Broken Dishes" and she also appeared in "Solid South." Late in 1930 she was hired by Universal. When she arrived in Hollywood, the studio representative who went to meet her train left without her because he could find no one who looked like a movie star. An official at Universal complained she had "as much sex appeal as Slim Summerville" and her performance in the movie "Bad Sister" didn't impress. In 1932 she signed a seven year deal with Warner Brothers. She became a star after her appearance in "The Man Who betty, davis, star, oscar, actress, wrote, warner, stroke, role, refused, received, last, films, davis, career, came, brothers, best, because, after, 1989, worked, won, warners, wanted, universal, tv, time, through, sister, series, selznick, roles, passed, october, nomination, movies, movie
