Bette Davis at the Cinémathèque Française (1986)

On February 22, 1986, Bette Davis received an honorary César award – and presented one to the Cinémathèque française, which was then celebrating its 50th anniversary. Two days later, Costa-Gavras, president of the Cinémathèque, in turn welcomed the actress for a press conference at which she vividly recounted the heyday of old Hollywood.
