Bette Davis at home, 1939

LIFE’s 1939 cover story featured the actress not as some sort of raving prima donna — the image that has, bizarrely, attached to her in the decades since her death in 1989 — but as a remarkably grounded, albeit supremely driven, artist. (It also pointed out that “Miss Davis is Warner Bros.’ top box-office star… She is 30 years old, 5 ft. 3 in. tall and weighs 113 lb. without dieting… She conducts herself with more dignity than most stars.”)

That the article’s writer, Busch, is genuinely impressed with Davis — especially in light of what passes for talent in Hollywood — is abundantly clear throughout. One marvelous example of the tone of the piece:

Since the ability to act is comparatively unnecessary in Hollywood, it is regarded with suspicions. Directors might be interested in a girl who was noted for her love affairs or able to balance a peanut on her nose, because these accomplishments would suggest that she had an interesting personality. Conversely, acting ability [like Davis’] suggests an arty personality and young movie actresses should conceal it more carefully than a craving for cocaine.
