Dear Bette: Advice From the Screen Queen
About this ebook
Bette Davis, the outspoken silver screen queen, was known for her unconventional style, her braisenness, and feminist views before there was even a name for it. After receiving thousands of fan letters monthly asking for her advice on personal matters, Bette decided to respond.
This book is a compilation and reprint of answers to such delicate questions from fans such as, “What should I do? I’m in love with two brothers,” or, “I met a man who says he is a talent scout and wants me to come to Hollywood with him. Should I go?,” or, “Is it wrong to be in love with a married man?”
These intimate letters seek advice on child abuse, interracial dating and marriage, body image, entertainment goals, loss of a loved one, wartime woes, and the reporting of a murder.
Shocking, poignant and straight-forward, Bette Davis hands out advice that may surprise you. A “must” for old-Hollywood fans and Turner Classic Movie fans.

About the author
Patrice wants a world where everyone joins sanitized hands. But until then, she'll settle for kindness, consideration and hot fudge sundaes (no cherry).
Patrice has won several screenplay competitions, had a prose piece in development with NBC/Universal, is an author with a bestseller on Amazon on it's release, and is the number one Sensitivity Reader and instructor in the United States.
When she's not writing, in zoom meetings with other writers, or reading other writer's books, she's at the dog park trying to outrun her Shih Tzu. Spoiler: The Shih Tzu always wins.
