  • This might only be a publicity shot...stars frequently posed for fashion shots in those days. Bette Davis posed a problem for the studio designer, Orry Kelly, because she had a very large, low bust and refused to wear a bra, unless it was a period picture. She had the kind of figure a 50s starlet would kill for, but it was unfashionable during her prime. Note the positioning of her arm!
