Bette Davis

    Cette actrice américaine était réputée pour sa volonté d'incarner des personnages complexes, souvent peu sympathiques, dans une variété de genres, des mélodrames captivants aux films d'époque. Son style intense et sans compromis, associé à une interprétation vocale distinctive et des gestes caractéristiques, est devenu légendaire. Ardente défenseure de la liberté artistique, sa carrière, définie par un professionnalisme acharné et le courage de repousser les limites d'Hollywood, en a fait une icône inoubliable.
