Mat of complete art and copy is available. STAR QUIZ can you name the famous films in which Bette Davis presented her memorable gallery of deceitful women? BETTE DAVIS Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!"’ —Sir Walter Scott A deceiving woman is an appealing woman, judging by Bette Davis’ prospering popularity. She has lied, cheated, deceived and deluded — all in screen mimicry, of course — but with each tortured truth her fame has bounded. It all started with her portrait of Mildred in W. Somerset Maugham's “Of Human Bondage’’. Now, some forty pictures later, she is still mistress of deception and more endeared to her fans than ever. Fittingly, she caps this unmatched career in deception with the role of Christine Radcliffe in Warner Bros.’ ‘‘Deception”’, co-starring Paul Henreid and Claude Rains. How many of the other deceitful women in the Davis repertoire can you recognize? Here are scenes from five of her outstanding films.
