American actress Bette Davis was born in 1908, in Lowell, Massachusetts. She became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, appearing in nearly 100 films before her death in 1989.
This vanity table, that belonged to Davis, is in the Perfume Passage museum collection in Barrington, Illinois and displayed in the Art Deco Room.
Her number 1 ranked film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane was the first horror/thriller that I ever saw and it properly terrified me! It may also be the reason that I avoid that film genre even now!
The 1962 film starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was about an aging actress who holds her paraplegic sister captive in an old Hollywood mansion. Their collaboration on this film, was reportedly a nightmare for the cast and crew due to a dislike and rivalry between the two actresses.
When Joan Crawford died Bette Davis's most well-known quote about Joan Crawford's death is: "You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good."
The label says "EAU DE TOILETTE LE DE GIVENCHY" and "3 2/3 FL. OZ." The smaller bottle on the right also appears to be a smaller version of the same fragrance.
Her last completed movie was The Whales of August, released in 1987.
