Thank you so very much for sharing this! Bette Davis is and will always be the most talented actress of all time! Her talent is missed in today's world, but thank God she left us with her films to watch over and over!

This is one of the best interviews of Bette in her later years - many people seem annoyed by it but this was so refreshing - hearing very different questions and a more conversational style. We hear a very different Bette here but the stalwart fans moaning would rather just hear rehashes of Carson style interviews with her which over the decades had precisely the same questions every time. This was delightful to watch. And for those moaning about star signs - Bette was into this!!!

🌈I am grateful to find new material with the brilliant Betty Davis no matter who she is with… Of course, some of the questions are not pertinent to anything except plain curiosity. I would rather hear her tell stories of her past, with other famous people, but her viewpoint on many subjects is always well explained and thought out. A brilliant, brave woman for her time and somebody we can all cherish.😘

No wonder Bette replied at the end that she ‘loved’ spending her time with her. It was like two old friends, looking things up in a book, then discussing them together.

Bette Davis triumphed over so many obstacles in her later life (the stroke, mastectomy, broken hip, and --most hurtful-- the book written by the daughter she loved above all else) that you can't help but be overcome with admiration at her strength and tenacity. "This 'n That" is written in Davis's unique voice: sometimes bitter, often funny, and always inspirational.

Joan Crawford would've never gone out in public if she looked like that, and I respect her for that. It's good to have high standards. Fortunately for Davis, she never was held to as impossibly high a bar as Crawford when it came to beauty or glamour, for all the obvious reasons. I guess what they say is true, being gorgeous can ultimately be too huge a burden to bear for some people. It must've been quite refreshing and liberating for Davis to never have to worry about such things as beauty, glamour or class. Good for her!

What a horrible interview that was. I felt sorry for Bette having to sit and listen to that woman continue on questioning her from some astrology book.

Totally agree. You have THE Bette Davis in front of you and you’re reading what seemed like endless quotes from some astrology book about Aries women?! This was maddening and cringey. Oof.

So Mavis Nicholson has the icon BETTE DAVIS in FRONT of her!! And she asks STUPID Astrology questions? How bizarre and highly disappointing when we could have heard all about Davis' career at Warner Bros. I truly wasted opportunity and I forgot how DULL Mavis Nicholson was! Nevertheless thanks for sharing, some of it was interesting..

Enjoyed it quite a bit as Miss Davis (so her generation was called) seemed to, till the interviewer couldn't be bothered to pronounce her name correctly. Sadly it's almost always Brits who do that. Generally a pretty intelligent conversation.

My favourite actor is Bette. I want to see every single film she’s made. Especially Beyond the Forest . I think my favourite Bette Davis films are Jezebel , All About Eve , Dark Victory & Whales of August .
