[@alpe1987]

Katharine Hepburn had the creative control that Bette Davis wanted. I want a video about Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. Their similarities, their differences and why they matter for actresses today.

[@dollydagger4306]

... I'm reading one of the best Bette Davis biographies (my fave actor of all time) and I remember Bette mentioned being good friends with Hepburn, and ironically one actor she would have loved to work with many times was Spencer Tracy. She had high esteem for Tracy, as she had for Hepburn.

[@dollydagger4306]

I know one similarity between them--and I'm assuming from Hepburn's clipped but "flat" speaking voice, she may also be a New Englander like Bette. Another similarity is that both women who lived fairly long lives didn't stop working until sudden illness/death.

[@alpe1987]

There are differences I can find between Davis and Hepburn is that although both Yankee women, Davis never really observed the yankee way and she always was drunk with the legendary status she rightfully deserved. Hepburn was probably more of a yankee woman even though she was born to a wealthy family. Davis love to fight for her roles but at a consequence brought by her attitude. Hepburn got artistic control and said who or what is in a film before the other person even got a chance to rebuttal. Davis did it the hard way while Hepburn did her way quickly before you had a chance to say anything opposite of her way.

[@r.d.493]

It’s too bad Bette didn’t follow Kate’s example by limiting herself to only one husband and having no children.

[@gracecheri997]

@@alpe1987 Katherine was from a rich and patrician background. Bette was not. Proper but not in the same economic class. Katherine and Spensor were together for years. The press left them alone. Bette used to say. that the hotel detectives would watch the stars and their boyfriends. You were not allowed to "shack up", that's why there were so many marriages those days. Today, some stars are left alone by the press and engage in all sorts of things and maintain their boy and girl next door image. However, Angelina was not the only "other woman."

Rogers danced frontwards 98% of the time, except for initial dance starts. Watch the dances! Astaire could dance backwards too; additionally he choreographed everything.

[@JRobbySh]

Yes. but. The dancing works because of Astraire’s many hours of rehearsal. What is wonderful about her is her physical toughness. She had to learn to dance with Adelle Astaire’s partner and rise occasionally to that level. This according to someone who had seen Adele. Ginger had the same joie d’ vive if not quite the same skill. Plus the romantic touch. of course.

[@xomthood]

I was waiting for your Ginger episode! She was Fred's best partner because of her acting skill. He is THE perfect dancer but is only average as an actor. She looked at him like no other dancer and he reciprocated with a joy he only had for her. A truly magical pair.

[@bighands69]

This is what modern Hollywood does not get not all of the actors of that era were good but what they did have was screen presence and charm.

[@danceartjoy]

Ginger Rogers truly was a fantastic actress. Her performances in "Swing Time," "Stage Door," and "The Major and the Minor" (just to name a few) are testimony to her artistry. What I admire about her is that she did not play herself but was always the character. That made her maybe less "iconic" than other movie stars of the time, but actually shows a modern and selfless approach to acting. The more I go back and see of Ginger, the more I am in awe of her versatility as a dramatic actress, comedienne, singer, and dancer.

[@historysuit9418]

3:14 This scene… my gosh it’s become an obsession for me. It’s so ahead of it’s time it incapsulates so much. The accent is on point, the, “Lolly!” And half attempt to go back to the accent is like, I don’t even know, I’ll put it this way; it’s the greatest scene in human movie history.

[@KngFish]

The reason Howard Hawks added Ralph Bellamy to the cast of His Girl Friday is because Hawks thought that 'Baby' was a flop because the audience had no 'normal' person to identify with.....they were all nutty! So Ralph Bellamy makes the rest of the cast in 'Friday' funnier by being a regular guy. Baby had no such character.

Great channel! Love them both - but Ginger's range has always been underappreciated - even within the Astaire/Rogers canon. Her solo number, "The Yam" would always crack up my wife and me when we watched 'Carefree' (1938); her comic timing even within the song is impeccable. She's also very funny with David Niven in Bachelor Mother (1939). We saw her perform toward the end of her career when she did a revival tour of 'Showboat'. She was quite elderly by then, but still magical on stage.

Gingers mother famously endorsed the Hollywood "casting couch". She had a lot of influence over young up and coming actors in the industry because of the way she had already forged her daughters career, all the younger actors really respected her business savvy. So RKO had her teach workshops on the studio lot and Lucille Ball regularly participated in it because Ginger was her mentor and Lucille really respected Gingers mother. She encouraged those young up and comers to take any opportunity even and especially if it meant having to lay on a casting couch. There's no shame in doing what was necessary to get ahead and have a career for the rest of your life. Lucille Ball said better to lay on a casting couch then to lay on a cold hard floor.
