    This week's Vintage Fashion Parade salutes the great actress Bette Davis and her long and illustrious career.

    From the 30s, when she won Oscars for Dangerous and Jezebel, through the 80s, Bette Davis was one of Hollywood's greatest stars. Her style on screen was shaped by Orry-Kelly, Edith Head and her own personal intensity, while her off-camera image was always supremely elegant.
