Ruth Elizabeth " Bette " Davis (1908 – 1989) was an American actress of film, television and theater. With a career spanning 60 years and 100 acting credits, she is regarded as one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history. She was noted for playing unsympathetic, sardonic characters, and was famous for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical films, suspense horror, and occasional comedies, although her greater successes were in romantic dramas. A recipient of two Academy Awards, she was the first thespian to garner ten nominations.
"I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless."
"I never did pal around with actresses. Their talk usually bored me to tears."
"I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back."
"I don’t think of myself as a character actress – that’s become a phrase which means you’ve had it."
"This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work."
"I don’t take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache."
"I’d luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair."
