This song was about a person who has the traits of *Three Movie Stars* the Eyes of Bette Davis, the Hair of Jean Harlow (Harlow Gold), and the sighs (attitude) of Gretta Garbo , three major Hollywood Divas of the 30s and 40s (I think Harlow died in the 30s).

[@bluebirdconundrum]

This is the correct interpretation. The song is really a tribute to all of the legendary actresses of that era, as it paints a picture of an almost peerless seductress with the signature attributes of three of the most celebrated women of early film. Of course, Davis got top billing in this song because she was an absolute giant of cinema (and "Bette Davis Eyes" makes for an excellent chorus), but Jean Harlow and Greta Garbo were quite formidable stars in their own right.

After this song became a hit single, Bette Davis wrote letters to Kim Carnes and the songwriters to say she was a fan of the song (covered by Carnes in 1981) and thank them for making her "a part of modern history." One of the reasons the legendary actress loved the song is that her granddaughter thought her grandmother was "cool" for having a hit song written about her. ☺

[@Sunflower8587]

Bette Davis was an iconic actress from the golden era of movies. One of her most iconic lines was "Fasten your seatbelts; it's going to be a bumpy night." It was in "All About Eve" (1950), which was also Marilyn Monroe's first film. Bette started her career in the 1930s and was one of the leading actresses during that time who managed to still get some leading roles past 35 years old. "All About Eve" was one of them. She was willing to have a look that was less than flattering and let her awesome acting abilities shine. A couple of her later movies are highly recommended, "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" and "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte." Not a Bette Davis film, but "Sunset Boulevard" with Gloria Swanson is an iconic movie. She literally was a silent film star and she played a forgotten silent film star who still thought people knew who she was. You just have to watch it. It's an iconic movie.

Bette Davis (Apr 5, 1908 - Oct 6, 1989) was a renowned actress during Hollywood’s Golden Age and an icon still today. She was known for playing strong, independent women.

Bette Davis was known as "The Queen of Hollywood" in the 1930s. She was a fierce perfectionist in her acting and she was considered "difficult" to work with. She did have seductress tendencies and a mysterious persona. "Being snowed" back then meant to deceive or trick someone. Glad you enjoyed Kim Carnes song, BP. 😁

Bette Davis is my FAVORITE actress from the GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD and up unto the '70s. She made 100 a movies in her lifetime, starting in 1931 and her last in 1989. She was born in 1908 and died in 1989. I LOVE every role she played, she was a TREMEMDOUS actress, I LOVE all the movies I have seen her in, in my 77 years of life. You need to do more research on her, and you can bring up a list of ALL the movies she made in chronological order. Also you can find photos of her at every stage of her life, on line. Kim Karnes also mentions TWO other FAMOUS ACTRESSES from BETTE DAVIS' TIME. "HER hair is HARLOW gold" refers to the actress JEAN HARLOW who was a blonde, and then Kim sings "she's got GRETA GARBO standoff sights" refers to the actress GRETA GARBO.

A long time ago I learned a tidbit about her from someone who was doing the movie "Murder On The Orient Express" with her.

Bette Davis was a famous actress. She had big beautiful blue eyes. She smoked but used a long cigarette holder and she was always using her hands to dismiss people or to slap someone. She portrayed a strong take charge woman. If you look at the beginning of the song when they pan to the wall there’s a shadow on it in the shape and mannerisms of Bette Davis smoking her cigarette in its long cigarette holder. Greta Garbo is also mentioned in this song and she was also a beauty from way back in the 40’s. When someone “snows” you it means they deceive you. They tell you what you want to hear but don’t mean it just so they can get what they want. People also use the phrase he/she did a “snow job” on me.

"Bette Davis Eyes" was originally recorded in a 1920s jazz style by Jackie DeShannon on her 1975 album "New Arrangement." DeShannon wrote the song with the songwriter Donna Weiss. According to DeShannon, she got the idea after watching the 1942 Bette Davis movie "Now Voyager." It was Donna Weiss who submitted the demo to Carnes, who along with her band and producer Val Garay, came up with the hit arrangement for the song.

I've about worn out my Bette Davis dvd of Now Voyager. She was a phenomenal actress and I love this song!

[@glassesgripper4137]

Bette Davis was a movie icon. Everyone talked about her eyes. Watch some of her movies. She had iconic movements especially with cigarettes. You see some of her iconic gestures in the woman in shadow lady shown at the beginning of the video

That was a pic of Bette Davis. She was a legendary actress for many decades (30's-80's) during Hollywood's Golden Age, and she had large, very expressive eyes. She was up in age when I was young and was nearing the end of her career, but she was still one of those people who just commanded attention. In her heyday she was a massive star. I'm a big fan of horror movies and she did a lot of them. I saw her in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Burnt Offerings, and Watcher in the Woods, but she won so many awards for her acting that it's ridiculous. Look up her filmography. It just goes on and on. This song became a hit when Bette Davis was well into her 70's and she wrote a letter to Kim Carnes thanking her for making her a "part of modern times". There was an infamously famous long-time feud between her and Joan Crawford (another mega-star of the era), because Bette claimed that Crawford deliberately and maliciously stole the lover of her life away from her. It was no secret that they absolutely hated each other and fans of both of them ate it up. They made a mini-series about the feud several years ago called Bette and Joan.

Legendary actress. If you decide to watch some old movies, hers are some of the best.

[@hollypinkley]

You HAVE seen her & heard her - she is in "We Are the World" at 3:02 right between Cyndi Lauper & Bob Dylan!! You said "I don't know who that is"" to both Bob & Kim!!

The reason why the black lady came up in your search is that she is Betty Davis not Bette Davis

[@free1855]

Betty Davis deserves reactions from Youtbers. Outstanding musician, sadly forgotten.

[@foxymacadoo]

True. Bette Davis is defiantly not black lol

[@davidterry6155]

As a 9 year old this was my favorite songs for a very long time, I still enjoy hearing it 43 years later

[@Alithia451]

Crazy in the night

[@armandourso1526]

It was a HUGE HIT, even here in Brazil. A real masterpiece of pop music, timeless.

[@leadingblind1629]

Some of us weirdos know Bette from the Disney horror Watcher In The Woods 😂😂😂😂

[@jenjenjen2222]

😂this is exactly what I said in my comment. That’s the first movie I watched with her in it. Damn scary for a Disney movie back then lol

[@therosabella67]

This song was a huge hit for Kim Carnes in 1981! Bette Davis is a legendary movie actress from the golden age of movies! Her height of popularity was in the 1930s and 40s! She played very tough and sometimes cruel characters! Bette Davis died in 1989! Kim also mentions actresses, Jean Harlow and Greta Garbo in the song!❤❤
