Famous Knitters – Bette Davis

 Bette Davis (April 5, 1908 – October 6, 1989)

An avid knitter, and she crocheted, too, both before and behind the camera. As mentioned in a previous blog post, crochet work starred with her in The Letter (1940.)

Note the knitting bag which seems to be the same one as in all three of  the photos and appears in the previous blog post. It seemed to have a long and distinguished career, as did its owner.
