“I wanted a home life and a successful career. I got the career, but it messed up my marriages.... I love men. Without men, who’d do up the zipper on the back of your dress? With my men I always tried to be two people. An actress outside and a hausfrau at home. I’d go into the kitchen to prepare something and think, ‘They’ll be thrilled by this.’ But were they? They were horrified. That wasn’t the Bette Davis they were interested in.
My enthusiasms exhausted them. I was always being told that. I was always so enthusiastic....
I was never a raving beauty. So I always loved character work. I never cared how I looked when I was making a film, so long as I was right for the part. I shaved my head and eyebrows when I played Elizabeth in The Virgin Queen. Most actresses wouldn’t have done that. But I wanted realism.
Claudette Colbert once said, ‘You’re the luckiest of us all. You started playing older women when you were young. So you never had to bridge the gap.’ It’s true. Physical age isn’t important. Except that things begin to go wrong around 40. For a woman, it would be nice to stay at 35.
I was never jealous of other women. When I first started, a famous actress slapped my face on stage, in front of the audience. She did it because I was young and quite good and she was jealous. It made me determined to never be jealous of anyone. And I’m not.
If you approach everything with caution, you die the little deaths. It’s no way to live. So you take chances.
I would have been thrilled to have had less censorship. Who knows what I would have done? I wouldn’t have minded going nude on the set if it was done in good taste. Without the restrictions we had then, we would have made more honest films. But they go too far today, even though we didn’t go far enough....
I will go on as long as I can stagger.” - Bette, in a 1978 interview with New Idea (photographed circa 1981) ?
