For ten years Kathryn Sermak was at Bette Davis's side--first as an
employee, and then as her closest friend--and in Miss D and Me she
tells the story of the great star's harrowing but inspiring final
years, a story fans have been waiting decades to hear. Miss D and
Me is a story of two powerful women, one at the end of her life and
the other at the beginning. As Bette Davis aged she was looking for
an assistant, but she found something more than that in Kathryn: a
loyal and loving buddy, a co-conspirator in her jokes and schemes,
and a competent assistant whom she trained never to miss a detail.
But Miss D had strict rules for Kathryn about everything from how
to eat a salad to how to wear her hair...even the spelling of
Kathryn's name was changed (adding the "y") per Miss D's request.
Throughout their time together, the two grew incredibly close, and
Kathryn had a front-row seat to the larger-than-life Davis's career
renaissance in her later years, as well as to the humiliating
public betrayal that nearly killed Miss D. The frame of this story
is a four-day road trip Kathryn and Davis took from Biarritz to
Paris, during which they disentangled their ferocious dependency.
Miss D and Me is a window into the world of the unique and
formidable Bette Davis, told by the person who perhaps knew her
best of all.
