Thanks to the post my friend Worldwise started I got to wondering what is my favorite Bette Davis film.I have seen her young old and everything in between.She was great in every role.I don't have just one favorite. Here are a few of mine.The first that comes to mind is The Petrified Forrest.She was so young and her character was so sweet. Then there is the t.v. movie Murder With Mirrors . She played a naive , rich wife.By then she was much older and was a little frail but just as brilliant.Another is All About Eve. The classic Bette Davis role. No one could have played Margot but Bette.how about you, do you have a favorite or are you like me and you have more than one.

I am "all about" All About Eve. It is just wonderful, and one of my favorite movies period, with or without Bette Davis... but I do love her! I also really like her in Dark Victory because I Like watching the transformation in that movie. She was so young and beautiful there too. And I think it was called "A Stolen Life" or something like that where she played twins. She was just so wonderful!!!!

A Stolen Life is the movie where she plays twins. I just looked it up. I haven't seen this film but it sounds good.

Not surprisingly she did a good job with 2 separate characters. (Carol Burnett also did a good job of spoofing that movie, hee hee)

I'd say it's a toss up between Dark Victory (she plays an heiress who gets a brain tumor) and All This and Heaven Too (she plays a French governess). Those are her nicer roles. I can't really think of any favorites that show her being nasty.
