The legendary Hollywood star blazes a fiery trail in this
enthralling portrait of a brilliant actress and the movies her
talent elevated to greatness
In "Dark Victory," noted film critic and biographer Ed Sikov
paints the most detailed picture ever delivered of Bette Davis, the
intelligent, opinionated, and unusual woman who was--in the words
of a close friend--"one of the major events of the twentieth
century." Drawing on new interviews with friends, directors, and
admirers, as well as archival research and a fresh look at the
films, this stylish, intimate biography depicts Davis's personal as
well as professional life in a way that is both revealing and
sympathetic.
With his wise and well-informed take on the production and
accomplishments of such movie milestones as "Jezebel," "All About
Eve," and "Now, Voyager," as well as the turbulent life and
complicated personality of the actress who made them, Sikov's "Dark
Victory "brings to life the two-time Academy Award-winning
actress's unmistakable screen style, and shows the reader how
Davis's art was her own dark victory.
