Why Bette Davis's Own Daughter TURNED Against Her

Why Bette Davis's Own Daughter TURNED Against Her Bette Davis was one of the most formidable stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, famous for her fierce personality and unforgettable performances. But one of the most painful battles of her life didn't happen on a movie set—it came from within her own family. Her daughter, B.D. Hyman, eventually made devastating public accusations about her famous mother, turning their already complicated relationship into a bitter feud that shocked Hollywood. In this documentary, we explore what happened between Bette Davis and B.D. Hyman and how their relationship deteriorated over the years. From Hyman's unusual childhood under the shadow of an enormously famous mother to disagreements over family, religion, and Davis's behavior behind closed doors, we examine the events that pushed mother and daughter further apart. The conflict exploded publicly in 1985 when Hyman published a deeply critical book about Davis, forcing the actress to confront accusations from her own daughter while she was already facing serious health problems. Using biographies, interviews, contemporary reporting, and accounts from those involved, we look at both sides of one of Old Hollywood's most painful family feuds. Were Hyman's accusations an attempt to finally reveal what life with Bette Davis was really like, or did Davis have reason to feel profoundly betrayed by the daughter she had supported for decades?
