Bette Davis would have turned 100 today. This clip, in which Bette Davis sings "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?," is from the December 20, 1962, episode of The Andy Williams Show.
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? was released that year, earning Davis her tenth — and last — Academy Award nomination. She won two Oscars, for Dangerous (1935) and Jezebel (1938).
The beginning of the song, without the lyrics, can be heard on the radio right before the film's grand finale.

Not a bad singer.
Bette Davis is a hoot!
I saw that a long time, brilliant and scary all at once, so perfectly suited for Bette.
