    Betty Davis was one of the greatest actresses we've ever had especially in the 1930s and 40s 1950 all about Eve was probably her high point she took roles of other women were afraid to take on she was a kick-ass lady who fought for her rights and women's rights and she didn't give a damn what anybody thought and she had the best biggest most beautiful eyes in the movies ever

      Bette Davis with an "e" is the great actress. Betty Davis with a "y" is actually a funk singer, best known for her song "If I'm In Luck" and for being married to Jazz great Miles Davis at one time, for about a year, and being influential on his music during that year. Betty Davis, the singer, retired from music in 1979, and isn't remembered as much today, but she was controversial in the 1970s for singing too many sexual kinds of songs. This year, (2019) Betty Davis, the singer, came out of retirement to release her first new song in 40 years, called "A Little Bit Hot Tonight." So when speaking of the actress we should remember she spelled it with an "e," while the singer used a "y."

    Bette would stare into the camera and it was like she was looking into your soul. Millions were mesmerized by those eyes. She was still alive when this song was a big hit. When it won the Grammy Award she sent roses to the writers and Kim Carnes.

    The song was written by Jackie DeShannin and Donna Weiss. Jackie’s an accomplished writer but her most famous song was “What the World Needs Now is Love”, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She sang “Put a little Love in Your Heart” which was a hit for her and later, for Annie Lennox and Al Green. Besides writing Bette Davis Eyes for Kim Carnes, she wrote When you Walk into a Room for The Searchers.

    Kim Carnes sounds a whole lot like Rod Stewart. Bette Davis turned in a string of great performances long before she made All About Eve (1950). The Petrified Forest (1936), Jezebel (1938), The Letter (1940), Now, Voyager (1942) stand out even today. In fact one of the local broadcast channels were I live played The Letter just this last Monday night. Also watch Joan Crawford torment her in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) -- "A former child star torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion." Look out for the dumbwaiter!

She's a senior art major in college and her favorite thing is the "nose art" on the warbirds of the Second World War on up through Vietnam (an interest of her Pap she was curious about). Lol, there was no shortage of "pin-up" girls on the aircraft that flew over Europe and the Pacific (an art medium and style I enjoy).

    Bette Davis was a legendary Hollywood actress with a career spanning more than 50 years. She was known for her large eyes, half closed, but piercing. The kind of eyes that looks right through you and your reaction is I ain't messing with this lady. A very independent woman who stood her ground to all the Hollywood studio moguls (Keep in mind, this is the 30's and 40's before women's lib). She became friends with Kim Carnes after this song was a hit, and Kim gave her one of her gold record awards. Check out two of my favorite movies of hers, "The Letter" and "The Little Foxes". Those movies are great examples of the inspiration behind the song.

    Sassy is one way to put it. The line "She knows just what it takes to make a pro blush" is one of my favorite lines in all of music. "Pro" in this case means "prostitute." Bette Davis played a whole lot of outrageous, don't-take-shit-from-anyone characters.
    My favorite Bette Davis quote, from one of her movies, is "Fasten your seatbelts. Its going to be a *bumpy* night." Said right as the central conflict of the film comes to everyone's attention.

    Bette Davis lived in my hometown of Cape Elizabeth, Maine and had a beautiful old oceanfront estate on Zeb Cove. The town is small and lots of twisting roads so when the Hollywood folks would visit they would get lost. So many stopped and asked "which way to Bette's house?" that she decided to name her house that. But She called it "Witch Way" instead! She was famous for playing a tough woman and embraced it. So CLASSY! Unfortunately Witch Way was torn down about 20 years ago, such a shame.
