Miss Bette Davis trolled Martin before trolling was a thing. That smile she gave indicated volumes. Martin is fantastic and Bette was one of a kind.

[@willrichtor]

It's a shame how little people pay attention to the subtleties of great performers, as evidenced by the many comments here. The camera catches Bette reflexively blowing out an entire 2 lungs worth of smoke the moment he started in with his impression of her. Had she been drinking, it would have been a spit take. Just because the lady was reserved does not mean she was annoyed.

[@kirinrex]

I know! I love her smile. And in so few words, she showed brilliant comedic timing.

[@ericholck3914]

I think Davis knew exactly what she was doing and reclaimed the spotlight in that moment perfectly. She knew his impression of her was spot-on, but I suspect she was also a little irked that Martin and Carson had been largely ignoring her and she was left sitting in the sidelines. It was her crafty way of reminding people who the top dog was.

[@carbonbiker]

Nobody told Bette Davis what to do. No. Body...

[@salvadorromero9712]

California, already by then turning into a very ban-happy state, banned smoking in bars and restaurants in the late 1990s--ironically just as its people were voting to legalize medical marijuana. It was the first smoking ban of its kind anywhere in the world (aside from Taliban Afghanistan); bans in other indoor places had long been creeping in, but this was considered a shocking extension even when next instituted in e.g. New York and then Ireland half a decade later. Smoking has been steadily dropping in popularity, at a rate unaffected by bans or other government policy, ever since the late 1960s when the Surgeon General reported on its dangers. So by the end of Carson's run in the early 1990s it was already very rare to have a guest smoke on a talk show, though it had been quite common in the 1970s; you even saw it on shows like Match Game. However the great Bette Davis, already on death's doorstep in this clip, would not go anywhere without her cigarette; so if you wanted her, you accommodated, as they did here with the ashtray and everything. If that's what you needed to get a legend of her status, they'd probably do it today too--especially since such smoking would be legal, easily falling under the stage performance exception.

Not really. Often fatal true but not the kind of real suffering one can endure. And.... I've had cancer as well.....TWICE and as for age....gotcha there too as I will be 65 in a couple months. Just because someone gets cancer or any other disease does not make them perfect people or excuse their faults....such as no sense of humor and arrogance and nastiness. The trouble was on the Carson show that she was no longer the center of attention when the comic went on...that was the 1st issue for her and when she obviously could not be self deprecating...ESPECIALLY when imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and even was stated so in the show, she just couldn't help herself from being mean. Oh but she had breast cancer. I suppose she should have been allowed to drive a bus load of children off of a bridge because, you know, breast cancer. Having breast cancer does not excuse her from not being a decent person to someone who is actually complimenting her with his imitation. Oh, but I expect my thoughts don't count either because neither of my cancers were breast cancer. Have I said breast cancer enough?
