Bette Davis

Ruth Elizabeth "Bette" Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989) (commonly known as Bette Davis) was an American actress of film, television, and theater. With a career spanning 60 years, 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 and period films, suspense horror, and occasional comedies, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.

Links to Peel
Peel played a track from Bette Davis on his 16 April 1997 show singing I've Written A Letter To Daddy" from the film, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?. The song was played before the 2nd part of the session from Bette Davis & The Balconettes, who were a garage punk band from Manchester, who had in common the name but were totally unrelated to the Hollywood actress.
