Davis' youthful vigor still accounts for much of her effectiveness and in an exceedingly weak year I can see why the Academy went for her.

She was greatly frustrated about this period at Warners, reduced to paying dues again, when she and so many thought she'd thoroughly proved her ability with <i>Bondage</i>.<br /><br />She also hated <i>Beyond The Forest</i>, and called 1964's <i>Where Love Has Gone</i> "one of the stinking pieces of crap" she only did for the money. "<i>Where Has Love Gone</i> paid for my daughter's wedding."dvlarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154934310323584284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-31390020051066747782014-01-24T03:02:00.383-08:002014-01-24T03:02:00.383-08:00Thank you Derek :)
