Bette Davis remains one of the towering icons of Hollywood, with powerful performances spanning decades and a multitude of genres. Romantic dramas Dangerous (1935) and Jezebel (1938) earned Davis her only two Academy Award wins, while Dark Victory (1939) featured what she later called her favorite role of her career–a carefree socialite who faces her own mortality with horrific immediacy. Further triumphs in films like Now, Voyager (1942) and All About Eve (1950) helped to define her as a dramatic presence with no equal, and later roles in movies like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) and Burnt Offerings (1976) gave Davis the chance to explore her darker side. From romance to wry comedy to horror, Davis was a star every time.
