ReplyDeleteOMG IT'S INCREDIBLE I LOVE HER MOTHER I I LIKE WHAT SHE BECOMES. & I AGREED WITH STACY SHE LOOKS LIKE BABY JANE ON 1962. ANYWAY I THINK BETTE DAVIS WAS A WONDERFUL ACTREES :)
ReplyDeleteB.D. is Bette Davis only biological child! I'm a Bette Davis fan & all the information about her personal life is a "duh" moment! Unless there was something illegal going on, I still believe in "what goes on in your house, stays in your house..." & if you'll talk about your OWN mother, you need counseling...Not a BOOK deal!
