Bette Davis Eyes

Music video tribute to Bette Davis filmed with Super 8 camera with Kim Carnes hit "Bette Davis Eyes" :


Bette Davis is a cinematic icon and a personal hero of mine. As a child I first saw Bette in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane". In this psychological drama Bette plays Baby Jane Hudson, an alcoholic former child star who feels feels responsinsible for putting her more successful sister, Blanche, in a wheelchair. The two sisters live alone in a large gothic home in Hollywood. Jane resents her sister for having success as an adult actress, and for the burden of taking care of her. She starves her sister as an outlet for her envy. Her rage was palpable. At the time I was frightened by her sadism, yet still empathized with her running unfettered through all the stages of oncoming insanity.

In the 6th grade, for Women's History Month (March) my class had to do book reports & oral presentations on Women who were our heros. I chose Bette Davis. For my presentation I used a shoe box to recreate the scene where Baby Jane buries her dehydrated sister in the sand at the beach - to die. Bread crumbs glued to the shoe box simulated sand, and I drew my own Baby Jane & Blanche Hudson paper dolls. I got an A.

Anna Bauer photographed backstage at the f/w '08 shows for Interview Magazine. She shoots with an immense large-format camera that uses 4-by-5 inch sheets of black and white Polaroid film. The setup requires that her subjects remain perfectly still. Anna says: "I try for that one calm moment. I really need them to focus on me and my camera."

This story was inspired by The Night Porter, starring Charlotte Rampling.



In The Night Porter, Dirk Bogarde plays Maximilian Theo Aldorfer, a former Nazi SS officer, and Charlotte Rampling plays Lucia Atherton, a concentration camp survivor who has been tormented by Aldorfer. Thirteen years after World War II, Lucia meets Aldorfer again; he is now the night porter at a Vienna hotel. There, they fall back into their sadomasochistic relationship.

To hide his shame about his past, Max works obsessively as a hotel night porter where his aim is to please his guests, especially the Countess--a confidante who requires his services to get her young men as sexual partners. Many of the other guests are war criminals, who hold secret meetings in the hotel to uncover any evidence connecting them with their war crimes. Max prepares with these former Nazis a strategy for his upcoming War Trial at the hands of the Allies, as they conduct mock trials to learn about records in the archives they should destroy and witnesses to be tampered with or eliminated. Into this hotel culture, which reeks of nostalgia for the Führer, comes the only live witness who can testify against him--the young Viennese camp inmate who is now married to an American opera conductor. She is someone he sexually abused in the camp and Max can't stop obsessing over their past torturous relationship. They are drawn uncontrollably to each other despite the dark past both of them share and the apparent danger from Max's unchanged fanatical and bloodthirsty Nazi comrades, Klaus and Hans.
