Her acting style often seemed dated...except for her performance in The Heiress. I thought she was masterful! Just my opinion.<br />Bette was so good that her performance forced fellow actors to up their games. And Bette led such a rebellious and openly sexual life that it is natural for female castmates to hate her.<br />Would you want your husband or boyfriend acting in a Bette davis film? <br />If you don't think Bette is a good actress, watch The Sisters. She makes me believe that she loves Errol Flynn's character. Can you imagine what it was like on the set between takes? Wish they had filmed those scenes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-80813842304884220632009-11-26T10:54:57.871-05:002009-11-26T10:54:57.871-05:00Bette Davis was not overrated and did NOT overact....Bette Davis was not overrated and did NOT overact.
