A Group of 2 Autographed 4 3/4" x 7" [12 x 18 cm] Photos and a Handwritten Poem (see below) (Learn More) Bette Davis was a legendary actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was Warner Bros. leading female star throughout the late 1930s, and she continued as a major star throughout the 1940s, and she had one of her greatest triumphs, All About Eve (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), in 1950. She refused to retire, and took out a famous ad in Variety seeking work (citing her two Oscars!), and she starred in What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in the 1960s. Some of her other movies include: Dangerous (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Jezebel (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Now, Voyager (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Of Human Bondage, Star (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. Skeffington (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Little Foxes (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Letter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Dark Victory (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and too many others to list! She passed away in 1989 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that in 1938, Bette Davis and a friend of hers named "Ginger" (we don't know her last name) took golf lessons at the Hotel La Morada in Rancho Santa Fe, California from golf pro Glenn Gibbon. Afterwards, Miss Davis was moved to send a letter to Mr. Gibbon thanking him for the lessons, and she wrote a prose poem titled "A Golf Saga or (You Never Can Tell)", and it tells how happy they were to get the lessons from Glenn Gibbon. The poem is written on the back of hotel stationery and Miss Davis wrote it in her own hand and added "To Our Prof" on the front of the stationery. She also sent 4 3/4" x 7" photos of her and her friend Ginger each showing them swinging a golf club, and Bette Davis signed hers "Swing, Swing, Swing! Here's to you Professor, Bette", and Ginger signed hers "Here's to bigger better swing! Ginger".
