About the book
**"By turns moving and chillling, Leaming's fascinating life story of Davis consistently transcends the 'star' genre to establish itself as serious biography." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE** From Barbara Leaming, the critically acclaimed biographer of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth.In this extraordinary biography, fans and film historians will discover a different, darker side of Bette Davis: a woman beset with scarring personal and professional doubts, a daughter whose mother was devoted to her success, and a mother who loved her own daughter to distraction. Obsessive and compulsive Davis was happy only she was working, but did not always choose her projects wisely. She fought a lifelong battle with alcohol, and she had an insatiable need to be loved, often at great emotional cost. A legend, a star, a remarkable woman, Bette Davis lived her life as if it were a coveted role she was desperately afraid she might not win....
