An Evening with Bette Davis

Leslie Goddard to portray Davis at Clarendon Hills Library

Few film actresses can rival Bette Davis for longevity and sheer public appeal. On Thursday, April 28th at 7 pm, the Clarendon Hills Library welcomes actress and historian Leslie Goddard to portray this famous film star known as much for her tempestuous personal life as for her brilliant on-screen portrayals. In a career that stretched from 1930 to 1988, Davis appeared in such classics as Jezebel, Dark Victory, Now Voyager, and All About Eve. By 1942, she had two Academy Awards and had created a new kind of film heroine: strong, passionate, determined, and even wicked.

Hear the “true Hollywood story” from the actress herself!
