One, I'm stunned to see Bette Davis openly smoking during the interview. That couldn't happen these days. What jumped out at me was how she described not getting getting gratitude from studio heads such as Jack Warner, but she herself holding them in affection for being willing to take gambles. Her description of how she left the Warner Brothers lot is what made me post this.

She had bite and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. Back then, actors were encouraged to smoke in public to advertise backers. I've heard this complaint from other actors too.
I can forgive her almost everything. She was a babe.
