Fernando – thanks for the fine compliment! And you … I’ve very much appreciated some of the translation work you have so graciously offered.
In her autobiography Davis mentioned how nervous she was at the prospect of working with Chatterton. She had a great deal of admiration for her--a theatrical legend. Chatterton put Bette at ease during the filming of The Rich Are Always With Us, and afterward Davis sang her praises. In 1941, Davis tried to persuade Jack Warner to star Ruth in Mr. Skeffington. Even George Brent went to bat for Ruth. Too bad it didn’t happen. In 1951 Ruth was touring in O Mistress Mine. Bette Davis made a point to attend a performance in Ogunquit, Maine. (I'll wager it was a fun reunion) In 1959, Ruth listed Bette Davis among the people from her Hollywood years that she still considered friends. You probably know that Bette had a huge crush on George Brent while working on The Rich Are Always With Us. She had no choice but to sit back and watch him fall in love with Ruth off-screen.
