A Hollywood Legend In Peak Form As A Hollywood Has-Been!

Movie queen Margaret Elliot's popularity and fortune have gone bad. But she's sure she can jump-start her dimming career. "One good picture is all I need," she says.

As Margaret, Bette Davis got yet another good picture and earned her ninth Academy Award® nomination. Davis' confident, perceptive performance lends absolute authenticity, as did a prop she provided. An Oscar® statuette - set noticeably on the car dashboard during Margaret's drunken spin through Beverly Hills - was one of two Davis owned. Sterling Hayden and Natalie Wood co-star in this gripping story that has "many moments of truth" (- Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide). The Star shines.
