Bette Davis in the Checkout Aisle

I was thinking about Bette Davis the other day. I asked myself if it was her birthday. I was two days late; her birthday was April 5. 

On Friday I went grocery shopping, and there was Bette staring at me from the cover of Closer magazine with the headline, "A Life of Fame & Tragedy."

The headline and part of the subhead, "suffered the ultimate betrayal on her deathbed" are over the top for the article, based on an interview with Kathryn Sermak, Bette's last assistant. The deathbed portrayal, for instance, occurred in the last decade of her life. 

Kathryn shared a few stories from her book, Miss D and Me. I'll read that book. I'm always glad to hear about and watch Bette.
