Bette Davis is never shown in a better and more natural light than when interviewed by Cavett.
As with everyone....
These Bette Davis programs are turning into my favorites. I watched you at the time, Dick, I don't know how I missed these.
Claude Rains..is one of my all-time favorite actors....can't imagine Casablanca without him.... he never made a bad movie
Dick is still the best interviewer in the world.
Greatness!! Betty Davis, A True Legend!!
I love all the old movies and the actors and actresses .Bette Davis was a classy lady
What a star
I love her voice! I’ve always enjoyed watching the stars from old Hollywood and hearing their voices, they’re so different from today and so unique❤
They play Dicks show on the channel Decades for 60 mins each night but in fact it was a 90 min show and much is edited out. This was edited out of the BD show where she was the only guest for 90 mins. Great to see it here. She was smart and a great actress.
I remember "The Snow Goose" with Richard Harris and Jenny Agutter. Man! That was excellent - it was the first time that a TV show made me cry.
Epic star.
If anyone is still watching this classic interview
( not many I suspect) I’m struck by how Bette cuts Dick Cavett off, unintentionally I think by her sheer enthusiasm. Cavett handled this Hollywood Diva like a choreographer. I watched the series of interviews live. Lucky old me.
I’m watching, Bette was the best. Very down to earth
I guess this would have had to have aired on November 18th as Gladys Cooper died on the 17th and Ms Davis mentioned that it was " last night."
that generation sure was something
Cooper....was a great actress...the Brits followed her every move...lots of truth being spoken here....just compare the Greats Bette is mentioning here compared to what passes for movie stars today...
The actor she found repulsive kissing was the wonderful character Edward G. Robinson. She cruelly dubbed him 'liver lips'...Burn!
How did you know that? But I can see it…
@@robyncooperramsey8323 She mentioned it on the Terry Wogan show in a 1987 interview...probably still available on TH-cam...
@@philiphalpenny3783 Ahhhh. I’ll look it up. Thanks!
@@philiphalpenny3783 I tried four different clips of Wogan’s interview with Bette, but I couldn’t find it. Please post the link if you’re able to locate it. Thanks!
@@robyncooperramsey8323 It's from that same 1987 interview. Frustratingly, only bits of it are available. She was crotchety to her host for not mentioning her book, as i recall. Bless her...she was enduring serious health issues at the time though...
Dickie Harris would flip at Miss Davis calling him English!!
@Ponderous Prose It was an ironic casting decision to have the Limerick man to playing Cromwell...
@@Yodasboychild Yes...i was watching an interview with Julian Lennon recently & he made the same mistake...
...what a lady, wish she was my aunty... 😸...

I believe the actors who wanted to play “character” actors were denied a super career by the big film producers. UK
@7:00 "act a little bit be a little theatrical ... well we all have life & sometimes we want to forget life, sometimes a little larger". You act naturally before a camera because you want the audience to believe & be immersed in it. If you want to forget life (& move above it & beyond it or escape it, which is commendable) you may create CONTENT that is wholesome & imaginative & edifying & unreal & lifts up the human condition (that is imperative & urgent & important & integral to all art) but you do not have to deliver it in an affected manner. However, everyone has a different approach. Nic Cage the Thespian is not into naturalistic and more into stylistic.
