In September 1962, Davis placed an advertisement in Variety
under the heading of "Situations wanted—women artists", which read,
"Mother of three—10, 11 & 15—divorcee. American. Thirty years
experience as an actress in Motion Pictures. Mobile still and more
affable than rumor would have it. Wants steady employment in Hollywood.
(Has had Broadway)." Davis said that she intended it as a joke and she sustained her comeback over the course of several years.
I found this personals ad I wrote 5 years ago for some site.
If it worked for Bette, I figured I stood a decent shot of having it work for me so I decided to place an albeit in a less public venue...and for a friend/BF instead of a job. Was it a coincidence that it just happened to occur to me exactly 46 years from the month Davis did hers? Nothing in life is a coincidence.
