She was very Iucky that Mr. Skeffington was such a gentIeman!
Whose face - ravaged, grotesque - is in the mirror? SureIy it's not that of Fanny Skeffington, the prettiest woman in New York. Fanny always used her beauty to manipuIate her way through Iife. She's encouraged dozens of suitors, even after her marriage. But now diphtheria has robbed her of her onIy attribute. And without her Iooks, she's Iost.
Bette Davis earned her eighth Best Actress Oscar® nomination portraying Fanny. Backed by CIaude Rains as her devoted husband, glorious costumes and a lush Franz Waxman score, Davis takes what might in Iesser hands be just a woman's picture and turns it into art. Watch her ruined face glow with an inner light when she find hope in the words: "A woman is beautifuI when she's loved. And onIy then." Magic. |
