A strong-willed, independent woman with heavy-cast eyes, clipped New England diction, and distinctive mannerisms, Bette Davis left an indelible mark on cinema history as being one of Hollywood's most important and decorated actresses. #SummerUnderTheStars

Remembering brilliant, blunt and brazenly batty Bette Davis, born today in 1908. "I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile and off-times disagreeable. I suppose I'm larger than life."

SURPRISE! "The Jezebel Blend" is an homage to the iconic Bette Davis. The coffee is a Monsooned Malabar medium roast - beans withstand monsoon winds & rains causing beans to swell, lose acidity, & create a new full-bodied flavor profile. In short, they did it the hard way. 😉☕️

“He (Wyler) wanted a complete establishment of character with one gesture. I sweated through forty-five takes and he finally got it the way he wanted, or at least he said so, in his very noncommittal way.” - #BetteDavis on her first scene in JEZEBEL ('38)
