Synopsis

Bette Davis was an American actress known for her powerful performances and significant contributions to Hollywood during the Golden Age of cinema. Born on April 5, 1908, in Lowell, Massachusetts, she began her career on the stage before transitioning to film in the early 1930s. Davis quickly became one of the most prominent and influential actresses of her time, starring in numerous classic films such as *Of Human Bondage* (1934), *The Divine Lady* (1938), *Jezebel* (1938), *Dark Victory* (1939), and *All About Eve* (1949), for which she won an Academy Award. She was known for her strong-willed personality both on and off screen, often clashing with studio executives, which led to several suspensions and contract disputes. Davis continued to act in films and television throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and her career was revived in the 1970s with roles in *The Witches of Eastwick* (1987) and *The Accidental Tourist* (1988). She died on October 6, 1989, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The biography was hosted by Jodie Foster.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
