Bette Davis

Bette Davis was "one of the Bright Young People of the cinema" when Horst took this photograph. The saucer-eyed twenty-four-year-old had just finished her thirteenth film,20,000 Years in Sing Sing(which oneVanity Fairstaffer called20,000 Years in Sing Song).The language may be less melodic this month, when her daughter B. D. Hyman's kith-and-tell book,My Mother's Keeper,is published by William Morrow. Mother Goddam will doubtless give her side of B. D. dearest's story when her autobiographicalWhat These Eyes Have Seenis published by Dutton in the fall.
