PRA Archive #:
AZ1181
Bette Davis (1908 – 1989) appears before a live audience at the 1969 San Francisco International Film Festival in a question-and-answer session moderated by Festival director Albert Johnson, as part of a tribute to Davis on November 1, 1969 held at the Masonic Auditorium. Davis delivers her famous “What a dump!” line at the beginning of the recording to enthusiastic applause. Davis answers questions about her Oscar win for Of Human Bondage, her various imitators, her favorite of her own films, her opinion on Joan Crawford, and her losing the role of Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind, among others. Audience questions are somewhat difficult to hear. Recorded by Erik Bauersfeld for KPFA.
