A very entertaining audiobook for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueen (s). I had fun with the stories of old Hollywood while I walked my laps around the soccer field this week.

Cinfhen I picked this one up too! Glad to hear it‘s enjoyable 😁❣️ 1y

I‘ve been meaning to re-read this one forever, and next month‘s prompt for #TitlesandTunes is the perfect excuse. I pared Taylor Swift‘s The Last Great American Dynasty with it because of the Drama Queen vibe.

5feet.of.fury I‘ve had that book in paperback foreverrrrr & have never started it 1y
Cinfhen Ohhhh, fun book choice!!! 1y
peanutnine Great song choice! 1y
BarbaraBB Glad to have another Taylor Swift on the September list! We‘re making up for earlier months @Cinfhen and @jenniferw88 💕 1y

Bette Davis Speaks | Boze Hadleigh

Someone left this in my Little Free Library, and it was a hoot. It‘s only transcripts with Bette Davis interviews and the stars that knew her, but if you loved Ryan Murphy‘s Feud, I‘d highly recommend it!

jlhammar Oh fun! I love Bette Davis. I haven't tried Feud yet, but I adore What Ever Happened to Baby Jane so probably should! 2y

Loved it. And there‘s a movie?? Has anyone seen it?

EvieBee Yes! It‘s amazing. Wasn‘t the show fab?! So well done. AND the movie is based on a book. Also good. It comes full circle. 🤓 3y
tricours @EvieBee there‘s a show as well? 3y
EvieBee @tricours there‘s the book that started it all: whatever happened to baby jane. The movie they filmed based on the book. The book you just read about the feud while filming Baby Jane. And finally an FX show about the Feud book. That‘s a rabbit hole that I happily myself in for months! The picture you posted is from the FX miniseries called Feud. So good! https://youtu.be/nZpANeIWWXI (edited) 3y
tricours @EvieBee thanks! I will have to check it out! 3y

This is fascinating stuff! I had no idea they were so raunchy in the 30‘s and 40‘s 😅

Ha! Think how many of us would be divorced! 😅 Kinda makes me like Bette Davis more!
(A friend just shared this on Facebook. I thought some Littens might enjoy it too!)

GingerAntics Her ex husband sounds like a dim wit. 5y
sarahbarnes 🤣🤣🤣 5y
charl08 That is such a brilliant headline. I wonder if I could have or turned into a cushion? 5y
readordierachel Good thing the article specifies that she's a "blonde" film star. Such important info ? 5y

Happy 80th anniversary of Harmon O. Nelson being very wrong about his wife‘s reading habits!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Let‘s never go back to that! Although the article I saw on Litsy this morning posted by @queerbookreader says we haven‘t moved too far. 🙄 https://jezebel.com/im-sorry-to-report-that-jason-momoa-is-actually-gaston-18309... (edited) 6y
dariazeoli @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Jason Mamoa thinks he‘s John Bender in The Breakfast Club! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Riveted_Reader_Melissa, I was so disappointed when I read that - that‘s such an awful thing to do. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I know, and completely agree....that‘s why this list reminded me of it...she reads and therefore doesn‘t pay due attention to me, obviously grounds for divorce. 🙄 6y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Riveted_Reader_Melissa, I was talking more about Jason Momoa. I remember a long ago interview with the boys from the Inbetweeners and one of them was known to rip pages out of other people‘s books 😤 6y
JenlovesJT47 Lol this is awesome! I love Bette Davis and this makes me love her even more! 6y
bookandbedandtea I love Bette Davis! (And am no longer feeling the love for Momoa.) 6y

#WonterWonderland #December I'm linking to the band not the song here because All About Eve is my all time favourite film. This book is full of fascinating information about the creatives behind the movie, the actors in it, the process of filming it and how it was received. It's a must read if you love the film. I can't find my copy to photograph it which is very frustrating. I really need to reorganise my library.

Cinfhen Yay!!! You‘re back {for the moment 😘😘} Never saw the film 🙈 6y
CarolynM @Cinfhen You really need to see it - the dialogue is stupendous and some of the clothes😍😍😍 6y
Ruthiella Love this movie 🎥 ❤️ “Fasten your seatbelts . It‘s going to be a bumpy night.” 6y

CarolynM @Ruthiella There are so many fabulous lines "We are the original displaced personalities" 6y
Reggie Have you ever seen a Spanish movie called All About my Mother by Pedro Almodovar? It‘s so good and he sneaks the All About Eve subplot in there. I think you‘d like it. 6y
CarolynM @Reggie I remember wanting to see it when it came out but for various reasons I never have. One day...🙂 (edited) 6y
TrishB Pretty sure the band have to be named after the film 🤷‍♀️ great pick 6y
Leftcoastzen Great film!A classic! 6y

This is one of those nostalgia filled, feel-good memoirs. If you‘re a fan of old Hollywood, it‘s a must read. Kathryn Sermak has a beautiful insight into the later years of the icon, Bette Davis.
