À propos de cet audio

 Originally published in 1962, The Lonely Life is legendary silver screen actress Bette Davis's lively and riveting account of her life, loves, and marriages--now in ebook for the first time, and updated with an afterword she wrote just before her death.

As Davis says in the opening lines of her classic memoir: "I have always been driven by some distant music--a battle hymn, no doubt--for I have been at war from the beginning. I rode into the field with sword gleaming and standard flying. I was going to conquer the world." A bold, unapologetic book by a unique and formidable woman, The Lonely Life details the first fifty-plus years of Davis's life--her Yankee childhood, her rise to stardom in Hollywood, the birth of her beloved children, and the uncompromising choices she made along the way to succeed. The book was updated with new material in the 1980s, bringing the story up to the end of Davis's life--all the heartbreak, all the drama, and all the love she experienced at every stage of her extraordinary life.

The Lonely Life proves conclusively that the legendary image of Bette Davis is not a fable but a marvelous reality. Cinéma et télévision Divertissement et arts de la scène Divertissement et célébrités Célébrité Biographie Divertissement Sincère

Bette Davis showed true grit, worked hard and was not the typical actress of old. A feminist before it was acceptable.

Great book!

A remarkably well written book. Her descriptions are wonderful and what an amazing life. She was well ahead of her time in standing up and fighting for her rights as a woman.

The unabashed life and times of the confident Bette Davis was a great listen. The narrator was exactly right, I kept swearing this was the real Better Davis all the way through. How fun to hear a woman so confident and secure in herself and her work- something you almost never hear. She was a real professional and worked hard, enjoying her life as she directed it. I would imagine there will never be another like her- definitely a woman from another era, a true character with unique views and talent. I enjoyed every minute of it.
