Bette Davis … Birthday Aries
Movie star Bette Davis was born on April 5, 1908 with the Sun in Aries; plus Venus and Mars in earthy, hard-working Taurus. And she certainly worked hard … over a career spanning 58 years she appeared in more than 50 films and won two Oscars for Best Actress. In typical Aries pioneering fashion, she was the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.
No one messed with Bette! With her Aries Sun closely square Uranus she was fiery and rebellious. She was married four times; and many of her movies had racy, risky Aries-esque titles – like Parachute Jumper, Jezebel, Of Human Bondage, Marked Woman and Dangerous.
She was a formidable adversary and had a famous feud with fellow movie star Joan Crawford (another feisty Ram, who had Sun and Venus in Aries). The bitter battle lasted for many years (until Joan’s death in 1977) and has now been turned into a fabulous television series called FEUD, starring Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange.
“My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.” (Bette Davis)
“The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” (Bette Davis)
