Happy Birthday to the Original Scream Queen

Bette Davis would have been 100 years old today, and though she is noted for her performances in Now Voyager, All About Eve, and Jezebel; Billy Loves Stu likes to recall her more sinister oeuvre:

As the deranged, Baby Jane Hudson.
Or the put-upon Charlotte in Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
As the sinister Nanny, in the film of the same name.

In Scream Pretty Peggy, Scream.
As Madame Sin
As the grandmother in Burnt Offerings.
And finally, as the evil Widow Fortune in The Dark Secret of Harvest Home.
