Weekend Eye Candy - Bette Davis

My all-time favorite actress, Bette Davis, as Mildred Rogers in Of Human Bondage.  The film was released in 1934 when Davis was just 26 years old.  This was her 23rd film role in a career that had begun only 3 years earlier.

Weekend Eye Candy - All About Eve

The year - 1950. The film - All About Eve. The cast shown here - Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Marilyn Monroe, George Sanders, Gary Merrill. The awards - Oscar for Best Picture. Both Davis and Baxter were nominated for Best Actress, although neither won. The costumes - Edith Head designed Bette Davis' wardrobe. Charles LeMaire designed and supervised the rest of the cast's clothes.

Bette Davis is my favorite actress of all time. As a side note, Edith Head rushed to make the dress worn by Davis in these photos the night before filming with no time for a fitting. Head was dismayed to discover that the dress was too big and the neckline slid off of Davis' shoulders. Davis said she preferred it that way, and I do too.
