When Things Get Rough, Girls, Take A Tip From Bette Davis, And Go Drinking With Your Oscar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          Girls, even if you don't have an Oscar to call your own, there are these cheap knockoffs one can buy in gift shops, that say "World's Best...." or something like that.  Simply change the sign to suit one's individual taste, and Voila! one is off and running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         Darlings, you have GOT to see the 1952 Bette Davis movie "The Star."  This was really her first foray into camp, and foreshadowed "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?"  She plays this once celebrated ingenue (!!!!!!!!!!!) who is on the skids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She was even nominated for Best Actress but lost out to Shirley Booth's stunning performance in "Come Back, Little Sheba."

                                          The drink-with-Oscar scene follows one where she throws her sister and brother-in-law out, because she gave them money when she was riding high, and now they don't get that the gravy train stops here.  Honestly, hons, when Bette opens the door and says, "Get out," there has been nothing like this since the days of Mrs. Fiske, and no, I am not old enough to have seen her on the stage!

                                           But, really, hons, "The Star" is a riot.  I cannot wait to see the complete film.

                                           The Fifties decor makes "My Little Margie" look lavish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                            Drink and watch this with your Oscar, dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
