With for the first time unrestricted access to Davis' vast personal archives, STARDUST is about the extraordinary film career of Bette Davis, one of the most gifted and versatile actress to emerge from the Hollywood studio system. Among her best known films: Of Human Bondage, Jezebel, Dark Victory, Now Voyager, All About Eveand The Letter.
Even though in real life her off-screen persona may have presented a modern female who blazed trails in a man's world, Ruth Elizabeth Davis possessed a temperament driven by compulsions instilled in childhood that left her in the end, by her own admission, one lonely, distinctly un-modern woman.
STARDUST: The Bette Davis Storytakes us on a psychological treasure hunt for the soul of a person so buried in contradiction and her self-styled legend that fact and fiction became indistinguishable.
Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon, STARDUST features original interviews with Jane Fonda, Ellen Burstyn, Gena Rowlands and James Woods.
Personal accounts from Bette's son, Michael Merrill, who speaks for the first time about his parents' violent marriage and his sisters blistering memoir, My Mother's Keeper, and shocking details surrounding the mysterious death of Bette's second husband are revealed making this documentry a complete and entertaining biography.
