...spent three months in Mt. Auburn Hospital and one in Stillman Infirmary recovering from a pelvic fracture and various complications. She took the rest of the year off to recuperate, and returned to Radcliffe as a freshman this fall...

But in three overworked decades and some 70 overwrought roles, Bette earned two Oscars, $3,000,000. and a reputation as the first U.S.-born actress to make the movie moguls respect talent and independence in a star. In an age of vamps, she became the Compleat Vixen. But in this autobiography, Bette...
