Bette Davis Book:

This N That Bette Davis Reviews:
Bette Davis; she was The Sun, The Moon and The Stars.
2009-07-13 - If you love Bette, you can't afford to miss out on this touchingly powerful (2nd.) autobiography "This 'N' That" by Ms. Bette Davis. Written in the final years of her life Ms. Davis touches on many avenues of her life, personal and private. Many of the beginning chapters talk about her mastectomy and her life devastating stoke that followed 9 days after her mastectomy. (If you or a loved one have suffered a stroke buy this book it will be a great inspiration to you.) Also, Bette talks some about her daughter's scathing autobiography "My Mothers Keeper" by B. D. Hymann. I don't know if any of you saw the "Phil Donahue Show: Bette Davis" back in late 1987, but she was brilliant talking about her book and how she hoped it would be an inspiration to mastectomy and stoke victims. She also tales many funny, sad and heartwarming stories of her career and home life in this book. I highly recommend this book, and that episode of the "Phil Donahue Show", if you can find it. You will not find that interview with Mr. Donahue in any of Bette's filmographies, but will see a brief clip in the "Stardust: The Bette Davis Story" TCM documentary. I fortunately found someone who recorded the interview when it aired on TV, and that's how I purchased a complete version of the "Donahue: Bette Davis" interview. If your interested in purchasing the full "Donahue Show" interview with Bette check on [...], and search Davis on Donahue in Movies & Television. However I must warn you, I am not responsible for any orders you make from that person on [...], that is just where I ordered my copy, I am simply referring you to a source of entertainment that you will find interesting if you like this book.

Honest
2008-09-16 - I read this book after I read The Girl That Walked Home Alone. This book has much of the same information as the other. Bette is honest and forthright. Although it is a good book and I enjoyed reading it, I felt as though The Girl Who Walked Home Alone was more in detail. All in all a very good book.
