How pissed was Davis about Baxter's spoiler effect?


Anne Baxter was originally to be considered for Best Supporting Actress but convinced them to put her in the running for Best Actress, along with Bette Davis. (Incidentally, the first time two lead actresses from the same movie were nominated.) This is widely considered to have split the vote and cost Davis the Academy Award. Just wondering how much Davis held that against Baxter.
