    Another one to put on my list. I’m just starting Rules of Civility and I love it so far.

      It’s kind of a perfect autumn book — if that makes sense… Glad you’re enjoying it 🙂

    Bette and my Granny were very much alike …they even had the same laugh…I will post a pic of her later. It was neat to have my very own “Bette Davis” growing up.

      Love that laugh, and I think the drama gods must be appeased… Can’t wait to see the pic!

    My eye is on the dog. Bette’s or the Director’s?

      Well spotted! I imagine Bette’s, but I’m not sure…

        A lovely dog, anyway.

    Don Bachardy on the radio last night talking about the time he met Bette… the only occasion in his life when he was starstruck (and silent).

      I just read that besides attending art college in LA he also attended your Slade School of Art… I wonder if I can listen to that broadcast here, BBC?

        Ahhh, The Slade, a department of The Dandy’s Alma Mater…
        Yes, BBC. “Midweek”… it was a passing comment, but also of interest the same show featured Barry Norman, one of our longest serving film film critics too.
        You may be able to get it here…

        Thank you! I think I can listen even though I’m out of the region, I’ll give it a try.
