Bette Davis was Hollywood royalty.

I found this great old clip of her on the David Letterman Show from 1989. She would die later that year. She was a brilliant little thing, barely standing over 5′ tall, with a wonderful sense of humor.

Davis was nominated for ten Academy Awards throughout her career. A record back in 1962. Since then, only 4 other people have broken her record. Meryl Streep (with fifteen nominations and two wins), Katharine Hepburn (twelve nominations and four wins), Jack Nicholson (twelve nominations and three wins) and Laurence Olivier (ten nominations and one win).
