A VERY BETTE CHRISTMAS

Genre: Comedy
by Elizabeth Fuller, directed by Mark S. Graham

The setting is a 1962 Christmas television special starring Miss Bette Davis. 6 time MAC Award-winner Tommy Femia stars as Miss Davis. Fuller speculates: "Naturally Bette would be holding court and dominating the entire TV show, especially when her special guest star was to be her co-star in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?—Joan Crawford. "A VERY BETTE CHRISTMAS," is fictional, but I imagine it depicts Bette exactly as she would have acted, butting heads with her director, slinging icy zingers at Crawford, and mingling with the audience as a sly method to take full control of the television special. There is no doubt about it, Bette Davis was explosive, intimidating, and always the star!"
