WASHINGTON (AP) - A new U.S. postage stamp honoring Hollywood
legend Bette Davis is being released today in Boston.
The 42-cent commemorative stamp features a portrait of Davis as
she appeared in the 1950 film "All About Eve," in which she
played Margo Channing, an aging stage actress battling to save her
career as a younger woman schemes to replace her. She was nominated
for an Academy Award for that performance.
In all, Davis collected 10 Oscar nominations, winning in 1935
for "Dangerous" and in 1938 for "Jezebel," and was nominated
every year from 1938 to 1942.
Her son, Michael Merrill, says Davis could be "intimidating."
But he says "she was very much a mother."
He says his mother would have been "tremendously thrilled" to
be honored with a postage stamp.
