Ruth Elizabeth Davis or better known as Bette Davis was one of the best actresses of all time and was famous for a large group of dramatic performances such as All About Eve and Now, Voyager. In her later career as she started to show signs of age she started to turn to the horror genre throughout the 1960's and 70's and popularized the idea along with her bitter rival Joan Crawford for What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?. This would inspire many other aging actresses to turn to the horror genre such as Barbara Stanwyck, Debbie Reynolds, Geraldine Page, Joan Fontaine, Olivia deHavilland, Ruth Gordon, Shelley Winters, Zsa Zsa Gabore, and many more.
