Bette Davis

Bette Davis died, aged 81, on October 6, 1989 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, following a long battle with breast cancer, and after having suffered at least one serious stroke. She is interred in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles. On her tombstone is written, "She did it the hard way."
 
She walked out of her last film, "Wicked Stepmother," which was released posthumously with her still included in 1989. She is also credited with many famous quotes about acting often about Hollywood and rivals like Crawford and Hepburn.
 
After the song "Bette Davis Eyes" became a hit single, Davis wrote letters to songwriters Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon, and singer Kim Carnes to ask them how they knew so much about her. One of the reasons Davis loved the song is that her granddaughter thought her grandmother was "cool" because she had a hit song written about her.
