[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439764, member: 5079"] I recall reading someone suggest that Chaplin was unfortunate to live long enough to see his position challenged and possibly usurped by Buster Keaton; that while Chaplin's work is rooted in the Victorian era, Keaton's feels timeless and even modern. I suppose Davis is lucky that she didn't live long enough for her and Joan's reputations reassessed. Edit: Not that I think Davis' reputation has declined -- even if I personally think she's been overrated -- but I think Bette would be very resentful to find out Joan is no longer only seen as a glamorous dummy or a child beating monster. Davis seemed inordinately proud that her reputation was supreme. (She probably resented Hepburn's late career surge, but Kate always seemed blithely unaware of competition anyway.) [/QUOTE]
