Reviews
"The high price of success in show business often goes unnoticed unless a perceptive writer reveals it to us, as Charlotte Chandler has done in her remarkable books about Groucho Marx, Federico Fellini, Billy Wilder, and Alfred Hitchcock. Now, in "The Girl Who Walked Home Alone," Chandler reveals Bette Davis as a valiant, often misunderstood heroine of the real star wars." -- Sidney Sheldon, "Bette keeps me awake at night. I lose sleep because I can never turn off her movies, like I could not stop reading this book." -- Luciano Pavarotti, "In this book, Bette is as witty, wistful, bitchy, candid, angry, romantic, sad, and funny as any Bette Davis movie." -- John Landis, "The high price of success in show business often goes unnoticed unless a perceptive writer reveals it to us, as Charlotte Chandler has done in her remarkable books about Groucho Marx, Federico Fellini, Billy Wilder, and Alfred Hitchcock. Now, in The Girl Who Walked Home Alone, Chandler reveals Bette Davis as a valiant, often misunderstood heroine of the real star wars." -- Sidney Sheldon, "It was a special treat -- a gift -- to read Charlotte Chandler's book and hear the voice of one of my all-time favorite actresses. It was as if Bette Davis came alive for me. Charlotte Chandler's book has become my constant companion and inspiration." -- Liv Ullmann

Synopsis
Even a short list of Bette Davis's most famous films --Of Human Bondage; Jezebel; Dark Victory; The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex; Now, Voyager; All About Eve; What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?-- reveals instantly what a major force she was in Hollywood. Her distinctive voice, her remarkable eyes, her astonishing range and depth of characterization -- all these qualities combined to make Bette Davis one of the finest performers in film history. Drawing on extensive conversations with Bette Davis during the last decade of her life, Charlotte Chandler gives us a biography in which the great actress speaks for herself. (It was she who suggested that Chandler write this book.) Chandler also spoke with directors, actors, and others who knew and worked with Davis. As a result Davis comes to life in these pages -- a dynamic, forceful presence once again, just as she was on the screen. Though she owed everything to her mother, Ruthie, Bette Davis remained fascinated all her life by her hard-to-please father, who walked out on his family. She remembered the disappointment -- which never left -- over her father's lack of interest in her, and she believed that her resentment of him was probably a major factor in her four failed marriages: she kept putting her men in a position where they would eventually disappoint her. She spoke happily of her love affairs with Howard Hughes and William Wyler; she recalled her leading men, favorite co-stars, and unloved rivals; and she took great care to refute the persistent Hollywood legend that she was difficult to work with. Alone and ill, she faced her last days with bravery and dignity. The Girl Who Walked Home Aloneis a brilliant portrait of an enduring icon from Hollywood's golden age and an unforgettable biography of the real woman behind the star., Following her intimate portraits of Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder, Chandler draws on her extensive interviews with Bette Davis to reveal new details about the public and private lives of the legendary actress in her own words. of photos.
