Miss D & Me
"Endearing. . . . offers an intimate glimpse into the last ten years of the screen icon's life, until her passing in 1989 with Sermak by her side." — The Hollywood Reporter Miss D and Me is a story of two powerful women, one at the end of her life and the other at the beginning. As Bette Davis aged she was looking for an assistant, but she found something more than that in Kathryn Sermak: a loyal and loving buddy, a co-conspirator in her jokes and schemes, and a competent assistant whom she trained never to miss a detail. Throughout their time together, the two grew incredibly close, and Kathryn had a front-row seat to the larger-than-life Davis's career renaissance in her later years, as well as to the humiliating public betrayal that nearly killed Miss D. The frame of this story is a four-day road trip Kathryn and Davis took from Biarritz to Paris, during which they disentangled their ferocious dependency. Miss D and Me is a window into the world of the unique and formidable Bette Davis, told by the person who perhaps knew her best of all. "A beautifully insightful look at the real Bette Davis." —George Hamilton "A wonderful read." —Stefanie Powers "None of us knew or loved Bette Davis during her later years more than Kathryn Sermak. This is a wonderful book." —Robert Wagner "Kathryn Sermak tells it like it was: with candor and style." —Greg Gorman, celebrity photographer "Fascinating. . . . I highly recommend it." —Ann-Margret "Well-written and vivid." —Olivia de Havilland 'Delightful." — New York Daily News "Deeply personal, strangely enthralling." — New York Times Book Review
The Lonely Life
Originally published in 1962, The Lonely Life is legendary silver screen actress Bette Davis's lively and riveting account of her life, loves, and marriages--now in ebook for the first time, and updated with an afterword she wrote just before her death. As Davis says in the opening lines of her classic memoir: "I have always been driven by some distant music--a battle hymn, no doubt--for I have been at war from the beginning. I rode into the field with sword gleaming and standard flying. I was going to conquer the world." A bold, unapologetic book by a unique and formidable woman, The Lonely Life details the first fifty-plus years of Davis's life--her Yankee childhood, her rise to stardom in Hollywood, the birth of her beloved children, and the uncompromising choices she made along the way to succeed. The book was updated with new material in the 1980s, bringing the story up to the end of Davis's life--all the heartbreak, all the drama, and all the love she experienced at every stage of her extraordinary life. The Lonely Life proves conclusively that the legendary image of Bette Davis is not a fable but a marvelous reality.
