These frame grabs are from "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Here ex-child star Bette Davis entertains a new boyfriend while her sister/prisoner, Joan Crawford, tries to escape upstairs.
Wow! Bette looks great here (above). She's grotesque but the expressive acting shines through, even in a frame grab.
How do you like the lighting? PRO-fesh-eee-o-nal!
Above, a dainty sip from a cup, then.....
......Bette launches into a rant about modern music. She says they don't write music like they used to.
She says (above) she might have to re-enter show business to remind the world what real entertainment is.
Her gold digger boyfriend politely agrees.
Bette's (above) all fired up now. She's had this on her mind for a long time.
She (above) asks for her boyfriend's real opinion. She was a child star 75 years ago, and has never been on the stage since. Is it realistic to hope for a comeback?
With mock sincerity the boyfriend answers that it's never too late. Bette is ecstatic.
Delighted, she grabs his arm and offers to show him the sheet music for her old songs.
