Her voice....


Well, as she grows older, she's definitely changed her voice...and it suits esrly middle-aged Fannie much better. However, it's still such an affected performance. But, I'm still enjoying it...watching the film for the first time as I write this comment.

I agree, but this is why Bette Davis was great. She wasn't afraid to play horrible, unflattering characters.

I could never understand why she put on that fake shrill affected voice. Its the one thing that ruined the movie.

I couldn't agree more. I know that she was supposed to be frail, but that horrible voice at the end did me in. All I could see was the makeup. It felt as if they were pushing it too hard.
