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.
