"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" ... warned Margo Channing in All About Eve, and the same holds true for readers of the best-selling Bette Davis biography, Mother Goddam. It's candid, dramatic and all true, this is a star's-eye view of Hollywood. In a unique running conversation with Whitney Stine, the irrepressible Bette Davis showers praise (Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Claude Rains) and pans (Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins) on the fabulous friends and enemies of her billiant career.
