Whose face – ravaged, grotesque – is in the mirror? Surely, it’s not that of F***y Skeffington, the prettiest woman in New York. F***y always used her beauty to manipulate her way through life. She’s encouraged dozens of suitors, even after her marriage. But now diphtheria has robbed her of her only attribute. And without her looks, she’s lost. Bette Davis earned her eighth Best Actress Oscar® nomination, portraying F***y. Backed by Claude Rains as her devoted husband, glorious costumes and a lush Franz Waxman score, Davis takes what might, in lesser hands be just a woman’s picture and turns it into art. Watch her ruined face glow with an inner light when she finds hope in the words: “A woman is beautiful when she’s loved. And only then.” Pure Magic!

Congratulations on your hard-earned Emmy, Ernest Harden Jr! You did it!

The one and only, Miss Davis

‘I will call you Mr. Howard until I decide whether I like you or not.’

Ron Howard recalls Bette Davis patting him on the ass on set of ‘Skyward’: ‘I’m not making this up’ Ron Howard says Bette Davis patted him on the butt after the first day shooting one of the “Beautiful Mind” director’s early films. Here’s why.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
