From her incandescent performance as Margo Channing in>All About Eve to her terrifying, psychopathic Jane Hudson in>What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Davis generated electricity wherever she appeared, whatever she did--and not just on the silver screen. Her personal life was as passionate as her career and was so fiery that it eventually consumed her.In this landmark biography, Lawrence J.

Fasten Your Seat Belts brilliantly explores the life and career of Bette Davis to show us the fascinating original she was.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A racy leading man, a devoted husband and father, an American icon. Any of these would describe Hollywood legend Paul Newman.
