'She could look demure while behaving like an empress. Blonde, with eyes like pearls too big for her head, she was very striking, but marginally pretty and certainly not beautiful . . . But it was her edge that made her memorable – her upstart superiority, her reluctance to pretend deference to others.'

Bette Davis was the commanding figure of the great era of Hollywood stardom, with a drive and energy that put her contemporaries in the shade. She played queens, jezebels and bitches, she could out-talk any male co-star, she warred with her studio, worked like a demon, got through four husbands, was nominated for seven Oscars and – no matter what – always carried on fighting. This is her story, told as never before by legendary film critic David Thomson.
