Bette Davis crafted her career in opposition to conventional images of femininity, battling for equal treatment and pay, and by the end of the 1930s, the media, her fans, and the Hollywood industry itself paid tribute to “Queen Bette.” While Harry, Sam, and Jack Warner concealed their repressive studio practices behind the mask of a family brand, as “the fourth Warner Brother” Davis shrewdly promoted filmmaking’s capacity for transparency, realism, and equality, from her public contract dispute in 1936 to her unconventional roles and off-screen persona. While a number of actresses kept their distance from long-term studio contracts, Davis put her “team player” capital to good use. As president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, president of the Hollywood Canteen, and public Democrat, she built networks of working women inside Hollywood and inspired her female fans to develop their independent political voice and faith in equal rights.
