The Lonely Life by Better Davis [1962 BCE]

BOOK CLUB EDITION [1962] G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS

Hardcover with dust jacket.  Dust jacket is in tact with chipping, some wear and tear to edges, and a few small stains on back and a small piece of tape on underside.  Book itself is pristine and reads like new! 

As Davis says in the opening lines of her classic memoir: "I have always been driven by some distant music--a battle hymn, no doubt--for I have been at war from the beginning. I rode into the field with sword gleaming and standard flying. I was going to conquer the world." A bold, unapologetic book by a unique and formidable woman, The Lonely Life details the first fifty-plus years of Davis's life--her Yankee childhood, her rise to stardom in Hollywood, the birth of her beloved children, and the uncompromising choices she made along the way to succeed. The book was updated with new material in the 1980s, bringing the story up to the end of Davis's life--all the heartbreak, all the drama, and all the love she experienced at every stage of her extraordinary life.

The Lonely Life proves conclusively that the legendary image of Bette Davis is not a fable but a marvelous reality.
