Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Bette Davis Ain’t For Sissies

American actress Jessica Sherr takes to the Edinburgh stage again this year performing her acclaimed one woman play Bette Davis Ain't for Sissies.

Jessica Sherr - who has an uncanny resemblance to the young starlet - plays a disillusioned, Bette Davis, on the evening the young actress loses the 1939 Academy Award for Best Actress in Dark Victory to Vivian Leigh's Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. Audiences meet a frustrated Davis who, having decided to leave the 12th Academy Award ceremony early, at home, disillusioned and frustrated; grappling with memories of past lovers, confidants and mentors. With humour and unabashed frankness Jessica Sherr journey's into Bette Davis' battle to win freedom from the grip and control of the Hollywood studio moguls studio executives and mother Ruthie.
