A year would pass before Davis would offer a comment on the death of her most faithful and formidable rival. The occasion was the Academy Awards ceremonies in Hollywood, which featured a special tribute to the stars who had died the previous year. As Sammy Davis, Jr., sang “Come Light the Candles”, Bette was backstage watching the tribute on television, in a dressing room with Green Garson, Barbara Stanwyck and Olivia de Havilland. As the song was ending and photographs of the deceased — Charles Chaplin, Groucho Marx, Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley — appeared on the TV monitors, Bette stood up and prepared for her appearance as a presenter. Suddenly the sound of a tumultuos ovation filled the entire auditorium. Appearing on the giant screen and monitors was the luminous face of the ultimate movie star, Joan Crawford. Looking up at the wide, lustrous eyes of Crawford, Bette Davis paused, nodded, then, clipping each syllable, bestowed a final benediction on her long-time rival. “Poor Joan,” said Bette, “gone but not forgotten. Bless you!” And then she exited the room to seize the stage for her own appearance.
