Contentiously, she was not among the three nominees for the Academy Award for Best Actress that year, and she won it the following year for her performance in <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Dangerous_(1935_film)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Dangerous (1935 film)">Dangerous</a> (1935). In 1936, due to poor film offers, she attempted to free herself from her contract, and although she lost a well-publicized legal case, it marked the beginning of the most successful period of her career.

Davis was known for her forceful and intense style of acting and her physical transformations. She gained a reputation as a perfectionist who could be highly combative, and confrontations with studio executives, film directors, and co-stars were often reported. Her forthright manner, clipped vocal style, and ubiquitous cigarette contributed to a public persona which has often been imitated. Davis was the co-founder of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Hollywood_Canteen?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Hollywood Canteen">Hollywood Canteen</a>, and was the first female president of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Academy_of_Motion_Picture_Arts_and_Sciences?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences">Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences</a>. Her career went through several periods of eclipse, and she admitted that her success had often been at the expense of her personal relationships. Married four times, she was once widowed and three times divorced, and raised her children as a single parent. Her final years were marred by a long period of ill health, but she continued acting until shortly before her death from breast cancer, with more than 100 film, television, and theater roles to her credit. <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"> <input type="checkbox" role="button" id="toctogglecheckbox" class="toctogglecheckbox" style="display:none"> <div

Although she had gained a reputation for being forthright and demanding, her behavior during filming of Mr. Skeffington was said to be erratic and out of character. She alienated Vincent Sherman by refusing to film certain scenes and insisting that some sets be rebuilt.

Critics of Hyman noted that Davis financially supported the Hyman family for several years and had recently saved them from losing their house. Despite the acrimony of their divorce years earlier, Gary Merrill also defended Davis. Interviewed by CNN, Merrill said that Hyman was motivated by "cruelty and greed". Davis's adopted son Michael Merrill ended contact with Hyman, and refused to speak to her again, as did Davis, who disinherited her.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Bette_Davis?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-137">[137]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg/220px-Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="750" data-file-height="498"> </noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 146px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg/220px-Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="146" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg/330px-Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg/440px-Ronald_Reagan_with_Bette_Davis_1987.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a> <figcaption> Davis with President <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Ronald_Reagan?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> (her co-star in 1939's <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Dark_Victory?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Dark Victory">Dark Victory</a>) in 1987, two years before her death </figcaption> </figure> In her second memoir <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/This_%27n_That?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="This 'n That">This 'n That</a> (1987), Davis wrote: "I am still recovering from the fact that a child of mine would write about me behind my back, to say nothing about the kind of book it is.

Time magazine noted that Davis was compulsively watchable, even while criticizing her acting technique, summarizing her performance in Dead Ringer (1964) with the observation, "Her acting, as always, isn't really acting: It's shameless showing off.
