Now… to the good stuff.

Bette Davis is an actress who it took an embarrassingly long time for me to gain an appreciation for. I’ll admit to having a lot of preconceived notions about her work. However, everything changed after I saw Now, Voyager. With each passing film I’ve watched, I’ve gained such an appreciation for her tenacity, her wit and above all, her strength. While I’m still weak with her filmography, I can’t wait to learn more.
