A collection of all things Bette Davis. “I have been uncompromising, peppery, infractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile and offtimes disagreeable. I suppose I’m larger than life.” “I survived because I was tougher than everybody else”Tumblr (3.0; @allaboutbettedavis)http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/“She thinks like a man, talks like a man. On the set of ‘Baby Jane’ after one of her many unpleasant outbursts, she said, out loud, “Boy, if I had been born with a penis, my life would have been different””<br/><br/> - <em>Joan Crawford on Bette Davis.</em>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4896262748http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4896262748Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:39:01 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lja9xvyAk81qiey44o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4671691796http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4671691796Sat, 16 Apr 2011 23:44:30 +0100Bette Davis<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljelcbJZyQ1qagahjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4613514986http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4613514986Thu, 14 Apr 2011 21:19:27 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljhxs5FUbr1qd7pxao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4613486766http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4613486766Thu, 14 Apr 2011 21:18:08 +0100bette davisjoan crawford<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljmyq7gsJ01qhwwsvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4609853697http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4609853697Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:02:58 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lja9vbTmZu1qiey44o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4609800176http://allaboutbettedavis.tumblr.com/post/4609800176Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:00:06 +0100Bette Davis“When I was at the Plaza Hotel in New York, I gave a big cocktail party and I asked them to serve the pâté in the shape of a rat.
