Not literally but... more willing to get her hands dirty or look awful or look old. I think that, since Davis fought the issue of not being pretty from day one (have you ever heard the story about the studio lackey who was sent to pick her up from the train station and failed to retrieve her because, "No one there looked like a movie star."?), she was focused on substance and driven to overcome that perception about her looks. I think she began her career assuming that she would have to rely on her brains more than her face. I think she was cool as hell (Mean sometimes, but cool as hell).the damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198483122054652116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26430351.post-37785008590345190202008-01-10T11:43:00.000-05:002008-01-10T11:43:00.000-05:00I like Bette Davis...but I love Joan Crawford's ac...I like Bette Davis...but I love Joan Crawford's acting. If Christina is to be believed, she was a complete psycho, but she had a real talent.<BR/><BR/>And I've always loved that Bette Davis quote, though Joan didn't ALWAYS play ladies, heh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
