In Bette Davis Ain’t for Sissies, actress and playwright Jessica Sherr powerfully channels Davis in her campaign against the male-dominated studio system. On the night of the 1939 Oscars, Davis returns home knowing she is going to lose Best Actress to Vivien Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara, because the press has already leaked the winners. From there, she takes us on the bumpy ride of her tumultuous rise, as the tenacious actress fights her way up the studio system to reach the top of her profession.
