Bette Davis


This is a pane of 20 42–cent Bette Davis commemorative stamps.

On September 18, 2008, at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts, the Postal Service™ issued a 42–cent Bette Davis commemorative stamp, designed by Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Arizona.

With the issuance of this 14th stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series, artist Michael J. Deas of New Orleans, Louisiana, based his painting for the stamp on a black and white still of Bette Davis made during the filming of “All About Eve” (1950), in which Davis brilliantly portrayed aging Broadway star Margo Channing.
