Bette Davis random trivia

Attended Northfield Mt Hermon high school. In 1952, she was asked to perform in a musical, "Two's Company." After several grueling months at rehearsals, her health deteriorated due to osteomylitis of the jaw and she had to leave the show only several weeks after it opened. She was to repeat this process in 1974 when she rehearsed for the musical version of "The Corn Is Green", called "Miss Moffat" but bowed out early in the run of the show for dubious medical reasons. The last words she uttered on screen (in Wicked Stepmother (1989)) were, 'Call me mom'.
