[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 309288, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]During her early days at Warner Brothers, the studio found it difficult to cast Davis. Because she was not the typical Hollywood glamour type, they tried desperately to make her fit that mold for a while. In the picture I've pasted below, she's painted up like one of the MGM glamour girls for the movie FASHIONS OF 1934, co-starring William Powell. Bette [B]hated[/B] the way she looked, and she refused to presented as such an stereotype, demanding Warner Brothers give her more challenging roles. Despite such stronger performances in movies like OF HUMAN BONDAGE and BORDERTOWN, Davis spent the majority of the early-to-late-'30s playing unrewarding roles in mostly second-rate films.
